Amazing trip to Lo Mantang I finally managed to fulfill my boyhood dream and visited Nepal alone. But I also wanted to visit Mustang and I knew that I would need the help of someone local. and I am glad that this agency helped me with my trip. The proceedings were very fair and the support was, in one word, incredible. I want to at least thank UAI on this way for the beautiful experiences that I am taking away from Nepal.
Highly recommended the local operator. we had a great experience on the trek with our excellent guide Babo and porters Raj, Chandra and Tangka. Thay helped us a lot along the journey. They kept encouraging me, without them and my tour partners, i am sure i couldn't accomplished the whole journey nicely.
Trekking upper Mustang with Dev as guide This is a classic 10 to 14 day trek, and one of the few options in Nepal at the height of the monsoon season, since it traverses a high altitude desert landscape in the rain shadow of Annapurna. It takes you into the formerly closed Kingdom of Lo, and it's medieval mud-walled capital, Lo-mantang. The landscape is at a vast scale, sparsely populated, and with few tourists, partly because it is strenuous to get there, and partly because the $500 permit fee keeps many out. That is all likely to change in the next few years, as a major road is being built from India to Tibet, through the valley. This is a marvel of twisting, precarious engineering, but rather spoils at least one day of the trek, when the foot trail completely disappears. The unique Tibetan culture of upper Mustang is also likely to be diluted as a result of the influx of goods and people, but for now it is still an amazing place.
