Upper Mustang Trekking 2017/2018

Upper Mustang 2016 With Best Guide Nepal Planet Trek Sanjib !” We were a group of 5 ( 3 adults and 2 children aged 13 and 16 years). The Upper Mustang region is spectacular, challenging and a photographers paradise. This is our second time to Nepal both times with Nepal Planet Treks and Expedition , and from the start their communication and organisational skills were excellent. Two years ago we trekked Annapurna Base Camp so we were seeking a different experience. I will start with the challenging aspects, not that this would deter us from recommending the trek. It was a harder hike than Annapurna due to the walking surfaces, dust blown from the wind, the heat and the elevations climbed in a short time. Ensure your shoes are well worn in and comfortable (2 from our group had blisters even though we are seasoned hikers); well stocked first aid kit head torches; ultra light water purifying pen and long sleeved shirt, pants, sunglasses, hat. The distances were more difficult this time and my youngest struggled for a couple of days with headaches. Be prepared to deviate from the itinerary if needed. We caught a lift on the back of a tractor, horse and hired a jeep until he was physically and mentally prepared again. Our guides and porters were fabulous and flexible, changing the route to accomodate our needs. This is rated as one of the best treks we have done. It's so vast and traditional it's hard to express in words. Beautiful handicrafts and experiences. I have seen the photo's on websites for this region and it does not compare to the magnificence of being there yourself.
