Don't miss out on this area We did a 3 prs trek in april-may 2018 from Jomsom to Lo Mantang and back. Wonderful area to experience after 4 previous treks in the more eastern part of Nepal and high altitude landscapes. This area is totally different to the landscape of Annapurna, Everest and Langtang and it was a great experience to broaden the perspectives and knowledge about Nepal by visiting this area. Roads are much less travled by tourists here in the upper part. However, the road construction has a major impact on the experience as a trekker. Can only recommend to ask your trekking company to find alternatives to the road where ever possible as the road is very dull and dusty to walk and also busy with heavy trucks morning and afternoon. The larger expenses charged for visiting this area is well worth it. Tea-houses are good and lees busy than other areas and the culture has a different history than other valleys. Beautiful combination of apple fields, willow trees, corn and crops in well-kept farming and the last of horse caravan history in the area still around. Don't miss out on this gem!
Very friendly guide, amazing boss who has been to Malaysia 3 times and very strong porter. The services provided were more than our expectations. A truly beautiful trekking in Nepal. The jeep from Jomsom to Beni is tiring and definitely no if options are available.
We were meant to go on the Upper Mustang trek to Lo Manthang, but they were having the snowiest winter in 10 years. We had to change our plans considerably and only made it as far as Tangbe. Mustang was beautiful and clear, especially with the snow, and we had the rare experience of seeing a snow leopard in the wild. From there we went closer to Pokhara and trekked around a bit before returning a few days early to Kathmandu. Our guide said that normally trekking in Mustang that time of year is doable, but it was too snowy for us to make it all the way to Lo Manthang. It was a unique experience. The tea houses were all super nice, and we enjoyed the food along the way.
