Region overview
Why Mustang?
Mustang is Nepal's dry, high-desert trekking world: Jomsom, Muktinath, Lo Manthang, old monasteries, sky caves, and wind-carved cliffs.
Upper Mustang Trek, Mustang Trek (Jomsom-Muktinath). The lower route is shorter and easier, while Upper Mustang is a deeper cultural journey with restricted-area permits and more days on the trail.
LHJ keeps the Mustang logistics clear: permit timing, road sections, lodge expectations, and the best season for walking in the rain-shadow landscape.
