The Hidden world ancient Buddhist Kingdom Upper mustang is a remote and isolated region of the Nepalese Himalayas. The Upper Mustang was a restricted demilitarized area until 1992 which makes it one of the most preserved regions in Nepal, with a majority of the population still speaking traditional Tibetan language and culture

Mustang Mustang Trek Rain Shadow region was once an independent kingdom from the 15th century to the 17th century, its strategic location granted Mustang control over the trade between the Nepal Himalayas. At the end of the 18th century the kingdom was annexed by Nepal and became a dependency of the Kingdom of Nepal since 1795 for the foreign visitors have been allowed to the region since 1992, but tourism to Upper Mustang is regulated foreigners need to obtain a special permit to enter, costing US$50 per day per person.

Open for Upper Mustang Trek is the first westerner in Mustang was Toni Hagen, Swiss explorer and geologist, who visited the last forbidden Kingdom in 1952 during one of his travels across the Himalayas. French Michel Peissel is considered the first westerner to stay in Lo Manthang, during the first authorized exploration of Mustang in 1964 In 2007, a shepherd in Mustang discovered a collection of 55 cave paintings depicting the life of the Buddha. It is completely isolated from the reach of the outside world. The last king of Mustang still has his home in the ancient capital known as Lo Manthang. It is highly restricted to enter in order to protect and preserve the archaic local tradition and their fragile environment. It is filled with great adventurous trails and wonderful sights like wind eroded hills, red cliffs and snow capped mountains.
The climate of Upper Mustang Mustang is cold in winter and is always windy and dusty throughout the year. Most of the people avoid trekking in winter due to the harsh weather. Upper mustang has magnificent view of dry landscape and high valley and unspoiled nature. Upper Mustang is also called “The desert of Nepal” due to the dry land and very less vegetation. ‘’Upper Mustang is a Paradise I love to look back again and again, so I always have a memory on my mind’’ – John

Being homeland of Himalayas, it’s obvious to have challenging routes, High altitude problems, Weather and other conditions; any of those situations is big enough to ruin your trip. Leading around the steeply hills and rocky routes is not a job of common climbers and trekkers. Himalayan Magic Treks have been providing native leaders and staffs working in this field perfectly since long years to overcome tough challenges and make your trip a golden memory. They are trained and well certified by the Government of Nepal. All of our staffs have received emergency guidance in Himalaya’s and have knowledge of first Aid for our guest.

we are very much concern about the comfort of our guest and whenever it is about the staffs in the field.

We provide 1 assistance guide with every 4 - 9 guests and 2 assistance guide with 10 guests.

Autumn (September - November) and spring (March - May) is the best trekking season for the trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate which offers beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring collects beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals Walking is also very much suitable during this season.
Summer (June - August) and winter (December - February). Though Summer collects heavy monsoon rainfall it is very much clear to trek around Mustang, Dolpo and Nar- Phu valley since they are rain shadow areas. Tibet is much more favorable for Tibet trek. Everest, Langtang and Annapurna are always comfortable to trek even in winter season.
Trekking in Nepal for Annapurna Sunrise View Trek, Langtang Valley Trek, Everest View Trek, Pikey Peak Trek and Mohare Danda Trek does not require any past experience; though we have challenging route in Annapurna our itinerary suggests walking comfortable distances. Trekking in Himalayas always takes us to challenging altitudes and rocky routes, demands proper rest time and acclimatization to sustain their strength. We always have both listed properly in our itinerary. However certain training like Running, Skipping and other workout will definitely help you in roots.
Altitude sickness is a significant risk when trekking on any trails above about 2,500 m.

Germany, 7th February, 2023Unser Upper Mustang Wanderung
Wir (meine Tochter und ich) haben im Herbst 2018 die Tour „Upper Mustang“ zu zweit gemacht. Es war eine sehr schöne und beeindruckende Tour. Die Landschaft und atemberaubend und sehr zu empfehlen. Die Menschen dort sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Die Anstrengungen würde ich als moderat einstufen. Da man für diese Region eine Extragebühr (Eintritt) entrichten muss, ist die Zahl der Trekker sehr überschaubar.
Meine Erfahrung mit dem Veranstalter (Himalayan Magic Treks P. Ltd) waren, wie schon in der vorangegangenen Reise, top. Es ist eine kleines Familienunternehmen. Gestoßen bin ich auf sie durch Zufall im Internet. Vorausschicken muss ich hier, dass ich gerne alleine Reise - oder mit Familie. Mich persönlich stören Gruppen, weil dadurch das Individuelle verloren geht. Der Kontakt per eMail war problemlos. Eine kleine Summe habe ich angezahlt. Ich wurde am Flughafen – wie vereinbart – abgeholt und bestens betreut. Die Reise endete wieder am Flughafen und es ging nach Hause. Der Guide ging die Reise vor Ort auf unsere Wünsche ein. Wir mussten uns mich um nichts kümmern. Wir konnten alles genießen, so wie wir es uns vorgestellt hatten.
Jetzt zum Preis. Da die großen „organisierenden“ deutschen Veranstalter nicht beteiligt waren, war der Preis (ab bzw. bis Kathmandu) sehr überschaubar. Was noch dazu kommt sind die Trinkgelder für den Guide/Träger. Wenn man diese Preise mit dem der internationalen Veranstalter vergleicht, kriegt man ein Gefühl was diese daran verdienen. Ist in meinen Augen nicht gerechtfertigt. Man muss sich nur trauen, allein ins Land zu fliegen. Man wird abgeholt und alles ist gut. Mit Englisch kommt man problemlos weiter.
Im Herbst mache ich meine nächste Reise mit Himalayan Magic Treks P. Ltd. Diesmal eine noch individuellere. Einfach Nabin (unter info@himalayanmagictreks.com) anschreiben und er stellt was zusammen. Das Land lebt von den Touristen. Es war ein großes Problem wegen der Pandemie. Nepal konnte es sich nicht leisten, so für seine Bewohner zu sorgen wie Deutschland. Durch eine selbst organisierte Reise unterstützt man das Land noch mehr. Wer noch was wissen will, kann mich unter Ciesla@gmx.de gerne anschreiben.
Namaste!

France, 7th February, 2023Mes séjours au Népal
Il y a quelques années j’ái connu Nabin , j 'étais déjà sur place au Népal, je vais au Népal depuis plus de vingt ans
J’ai fait pas mal de treks, on m'avais fait des rencommandations sur l'agence Himalayan Magic Treks avec les cordonnées de Nabin, je l'ai contacté , Nous nous sommes rencontrés à Thamel, Je voulais partir en trek , Je savais a peu près les prix, a ma grande surprise il y avait une grande difference de ce que j'avais connue au paravent , je voulais faire le tour des Annapurnas et j'ai été très étonné du prix a tel point que je me suis demandée si il ne s'était pas trompé, je m'attendais a la cloture de mon dossier a une quelconque augmentation << mais non>> tout était compris, transport de l'aéroport à l'hôtel , inscription, permis montagne, materiel,
je me suis occupée de rien , c'était génial pour moi qui voyage seule, qu'elle aubène.
En 2015 je suis partie en trek 2 semaines avec Nabin et Krishna pour le tour des Annapurnas, Nabin le Guide et Krishna le porteur, très cool, pas trop de dénivelé , mes deux compagnons de route ont vraiement été a la hauteur de mes attentes, Nabin m'a laissé pendre mon temps , aboserver le paysage, pendre des photos tout au long du chemin, dans cette région il y a des oiseaux, des papillons, des fleurs aux couleurs flamboyantes, dépaysement total, beautés naturelles et culturelles du Pays , la vie des villageois, réalités des villages visités pour découvrir la faune, la flore, la nature.
J'étais en toute confiance et ce périple a construit une solide entente et une forte amitié, trek très bien organisé, je vais renouveler d'autres aventures avec Nabin et Himalayan Magic Treks
En 2016 Trek au Mustang:
Je suis partie de nouveau avec Himalayan Magic Treks pour le Mustang avec deux couples d'amis , l'équipe de Nabin était au top ,Krishna a très bien géré , de plus il a mis de l'ambiance, c'ést un vrai bout en train , le soir dans les Lodges, on a dansé, chanté, c'était génial, j'en avais oublié mes courbatures, au retour nous sommes arrivés a Jomsom et pour l'équipe de porteurs notre chemin s'arretait là, c'était le dérnièr jour avec eux, allors nous avons fait la fête, je connaissais la patronne du lodge, je lui ai demandé si elle pouvait me prèter des habits de fête népalaise, ça été grande surprise du groupe, toute l'équipe était enchantée, on a dansé , chanté, des porteurs faisaient des vidéos, ils ont mangés avec nous car 15 jours de souffrance pour porter nos bagages, ils méritaient bien ça, l'organisation était d'une grande compétence de cette équipe qui a mené a bien jusqu'a la fin et qui a fait preuve de professionnalisme et de gentillesse, serviabilité et merci Krishna pour ce trek, inoubliable, paysages magnifiques et grandioses.
En 2016 trek Basa une semaine avec Sitaram:
Je suis partie a Basa avec Sitaram, c'était mon guide, très bon contact tout au long du chemin Sitaram a été très gentil, très intentionné, se souciait de moi,c'était pour moi très rassurant pour une femme qui voyage seule, Sitaram a fait preuve d'une grande compétence, gentillesse, ce n'était que du bonheur et du partage, Merci Sitaram pour tout ce savoir faire.
J'aimerai mettre l'accent sur le fait de partir en toute confiance avec une équipe comptente très rassurante pour une femme qui voyage seule, je me suis sentie en sécurité, protègée, sans cesse des recommandations <> inspection de la chambre pour vérifier que je n'ai rien oublié, toutes ces petites intentions donnent une assurance totale, une confiance absolue, j'en garde d'exellents souvenirs et je recommande vivement de passer par l'agence Himalayan Magic Treks est surtout de rencontrer Nabin et toute son équipe, merci a toute l'équipe de Himalayan Magic pour ses bonnes compétences et son professionnalisme, la bonne humeur , gentillesse, toujours prêt a nous aider.
j'éspère que vous pourrez lire a travers ce résumé de voyage, de précieuses informations pour préparer votre prochain voyage au Népal, pays magique et surtout a grand merci a toute l'équipe de Himalayan Magic Treks

France, 7th February, 2023Trek au Mustang
Séjour de 3 semaines au Népal dont 15 jours dans la région du Mustang.
Pour ceux qui souhaitent éviter la foule des trekkeurs des régions de l'Everest ou des Annapurnas et avant que la piste soit achevée ce trek est un de ceux qui m'a transportée parfois hors du temps.
La région est très peu peuplée et les étapes quelquefois assez longues.
Nous avons eu la chance de visiter de magnifiques Gompas dont certaines dataient de plus de mille ans.
Nous avons vite atteint des altitudes à plus de 3500m pour arriver au bout d'une dizaine de jours au point culminant qui est à 5400.
Contrairement à d'autres régions du Népal le parcours n'est pas jalonné d'une succession de descentes dans des gorges; il s'agit de grandes étendues arides
qui sous le ciel bleu vous proposent un éventail de couleurs allant du jaune pale au brun en passant par l'ocre.
L'arrivée sur Lo Manthang est tout simplement magnifique.
C'est la cinquième fois que nous partons avec Himalayan MagicTreks et nous avons une fois de plus apprécié leur sérieux, leur professionnalisme.
Notre guide Sitaram est toujours attentif et d'une aide précieuse lorsque mon pied n'est pas sur.
Pas de difficultés particulières juste quelques franchissement de rivières gelées
Nous avons été accompagnés de 2 porteurs ( 3 nuits en camp ) Samdo et Prakash particulièrement sympathiques.
Il serait préférable de commencer ce trek avant la fin octobre car en novembre certains lodges sont fermés ainsi que certains monuments à Lo Manthang.
En résumé si vous aimez les grands espaces, la culture tibétaine, observer les rapaces et fuir la foule alors cette région est à découvrir avant que la piste y apporte ce qui parfois va à l'encontre du bonheur de marcher.
Et encore un grand merci à Sitaram et à nos 2 porteurs qui nous ont permis de faire de ce séjour au Mustang un voyage inoubliable.

Germany, 11th February, 2023Upper Mustang Sept/Okt 2018 - Unglaublich schön!
Habe zusammen mit meiner Tochter (17 Jahre) den Upper Mustang Trail gemacht. Unglaublich schön. Wunderschöne Landschaften, super Essen, sehr nette Menschen. Die Unterkunft sind einfach; aber das weiß man vorher. Einmal mit knapp 30 Mönchen in einem relativ kleinen Raum (ca. 50 m2) bei einer Zeremonie gesessen. Da kriegt man Gänsehaut - wir zumindest. In 2017 haben nur 4.100 Trekker Upper Mustang besucht.
Wir hatten einen Guide (Krishna), einen Träger sowie Pferd mit "Horseman". Das Pferd haben wir eigentlich im Nachhinein gar nicht gebraucht. Von Kathmandu aus sind wir 2 mal geflogen. Für die Flugzeit von zusammen ca. 40 Minuten hat der Träger mit dem Bus 27 Stunden gebraucht. Nur als Tipp. Krishna (Guide) war wieder (2. Reise mit ihm) sehr aufmerksam und ist auch unglaublich nett. Haben zusammen alle jeden Tag Karten gespielt. Eine Reise, die ich mit Himalayan Magic Treks nur wärmstens empfehlen kann.
