You'll have the opportunity to visit the walled city of Lo Manthang, the former capital of the Kingdom of Mustang, and explore its narrow alleys and traditional architecture. You'll also visit the surrounding villages and witness the daily life and culture of the local people, who have preserved their ancient Tibetan customs and traditions. The Jeep tour offers stunning views of the Himalayan mountain range, including Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, as well as the arid and rugged landscape of Upper Mustang. You can expect to stay in comfortable lodges or guesthouses along the way and enjoy traditional Nepali meals.
Overall, an Upper Mustang Jeep tour provides a unique opportunity to explore a remote and fascinating corner of Nepal while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

I hightly recommend World Himalaya!

I absolutely love Nepal and the adventure trips it offers. During my travels in Nepal and India, I discovered that World Himalaya is the best budget-friendly and reliable company for all my adventure needs. Mr. Dhital is a very friendly person, honest, helpful, and truly an Ambassador of tourism in Nepal. In addition to running World Himalaya, he also manages hotels, apartments, and farm stays (agro-tourism). That eco-agro turism is very close to my heart as health promoter. We know how important is frsh food for our health. Food must be our medicine! Movement in the fresh air and closeness to nature what we are enjoyed durning trip are unforgottable. World Himalaya offerings, presents and promotes healthy lifstyle all over the world! Great location, hospitlity, fresh food, directly from eco farm made me to want to extend my stay in Nepal. Heartly greatful! I highly recommend World Himalaya!!!

Once in a lifetime experience

My Upper Mustang adventure was an unforgettable journey through breathtaking landscapes, ancient pilgrimage sites, and charming villages. Our expert driver and comfortable 4x4 jeep made exploring this remote region a breeze. World Himalaya Treks & Expeditions provided impeccable service and the excellent accommodations and cuisine throughout the trip exceeded our expectations. With incredible memories and photos to cherish, I'm eagerly anticipating my next adventure to Rara Lake!
