Overview
The Upper Mustang Jeep Tour is a considerably more luxurious Himalayan adventure. The Upper Mustang driving trip is designed for individuals bound by time to walk for long days to discover the Upper Mustang. A short day driving excursion will allow you to experience the Upper Mustang region of Tibet.
Mustang is part of the Dhaulagiri Zone, located in the Kali Gandaki valley of Western Nepal’s Himalayan area. “Land beyond the Himalayas” is another name for it. This district has the world’s deepest valley, stretching vertically between the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountains. The Mustang region is primarily dry.
The Upper Mustang Jeep Tour takes you through breathtaking scenery, historic Tibetan culture, and ancient Buddhist monasteries. For individuals with no previous trekking experience, hiking all the way to Lo Manthang through the traditional trekking path takes a long time and is physically demanding. To get to Lo-Manthang and visit all of Mustang, a Jeep trip is a much easier and more enjoyable journey.
This trip lets you experience each and every aspect of the Mustang’s natural beauty that you get from the trekking journey. Without a doubt, this is one of the most exciting drives in the world, as you will be awestruck by the captivating scenery of the Himalayan rain shadow.
