Upper Mustang Trek & Requirements

Upper Mustang was a restricted kingdom and a demilitarized area until 1992. Currently, the Nepal Department of Tourism, under the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation, issues permits for travelers to visit this preserved region. The permit costs USD 500 per person for the first 10 days and an additional USD 50 per person per day beyond the initial 10 days.

The permit grants access to the following areas:

  • Lomanthang Rural Municipality
  • Lo-Ghekar Damodarkunda Rural Municipality

How Difficult is the Upper Mustang Overland Tour?

The Upper Mustang Overland Tour is classified as easy, making it ideal for travelers seeking a convenient yet adventurous experience in Nepal's captivating Mustang region. The journey takes you through stunning, isolated landscapes via comfortable jeep rides, eliminating the need for physical preparation. However, it’s recommended to undergo a basic health check before the trip to avoid any complications.

This tour is suitable for people of all ages, with no age restrictions. For children, parental supervision and guidance from the tour staff ensure safety and an enjoyable experience. While the jeep ride itself is not physically demanding, the region’s weather and climate can influence the journey. To address potential challenges, such as unexpected weather changes, it’s essential to pack appropriately. Our team will guide you on the necessary gear during booking and keep you updated on the latest weather conditions to mitigate risks like landslides, floods, or heavy rainfall.

Meals on Mustang Trek

All meals — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — will be provided during the trek, while only breakfast will be provided in Kathmandu. We host welcome and farewell dinners for our guests. During the trek, breakfast and dinner will be served at tea houses or lodges where we spend the night, while lunch will be provided at tea houses along the trail. You can choose from Nepali, Continental, Tibetan, and Indian cuisines. We ensure our guests enjoy healthy meals, prioritizing locally produced organic food and seasonal fruits. During the climbing session, freshly cooked, hygienic meals will be prepared.

Note: If you are a vegetarian, please let us know in advance so that we can arrange meals according to your preferences during the trek.

Accommodation on Upper Mustang Trek

You will stay in three-star standard hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, and in guesthouses or tea houses during the trek. All accommodations will be on a twin-sharing basis. Single supplements are available on request for an additional cost. Adventure Club Trek will arrange rooms with attached washrooms wherever possible. However, in some remote areas, tea houses may only offer shared washing and toilet facilities.

Single rooms are usually available in Kathmandu and at lower altitudes during the trek, but they may be challenging to secure at higher altitudes.

Drinking Water on Upper Mustang Trek

Adventure Club provides all meals during the trek but does not provide water. The best option is to treat local water using chlorine/iodine tablets or a steripen. Tea houses will provide free drinking water, but you will need to treat it before consumption. If using water treatment tablets, ensure they dissolve completely, which takes about 30 minutes. Alternatively, bottled mineral water is available for purchase along the trail. Prices vary, costing around USD 1 per liter at lower elevations and up to USD 4 per liter at higher elevations. This ensures access to safe drinking water throughout the trek.

        Visa And Entry Procedures

        Everyone except Indian nationals needs a visa to enter Nepal. Citizens of the SAARC nations like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Bhutan do not require a visa for 30 days. Fortunately, getting a Nepal visa is an easy process. Tourist visas and official overland entry points are issued on arrival at the international airport. However, travelers from Afghanistan, Iraq, Cameroon, Ghana, Somalia, Swaziland, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Liberia have yet to be issued a visa on arrival. After arriving at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, you will find electronic kiosks to assist you in processing your visa. Taking the completed form and paying the visa fee, you must stay in the long immigration queue for your visa on arrival.

        Visitors can now apply for an online visa within 15 days of their arrival date in Nepal. To do so, you will need your Nepal hotel address and a digital passport-sized photo uploaded to the online application. After submitting the form online, you need to print out the confirmation page, which must be furnished at the immigration section in Kathmandu airport, along with your passport and the required visa fee. 

        Tourists can also apply for a Nepali visa at the local Nepali Embassy or Consulate in their respective countries. They can even mail their visa application to the office nearby, but well ahead, to allow sufficient processing time. Nepal visa information for all categories of travelers and their correspondence costs can be convenient, so for more information and contact details of the Nepali Embassies and Consulate around the world, 

        Whichever way you enter Nepal, you will be given a 15/30/90-day visa as required. The general Nepal tourist visa fee on arrival for multiple entries is:

        Tourist visas can be extended for a maximum of 150 days in a year and these extensions are granted only at the Department of immigration offices in Pokhara and Kathmandu. For more information on Nepal visas, visit our visa information page.

        Our Trekking Guides/Leaders 

        Here at Adventure Club, our staff is like family. We only use locals to support their communities and we train our staff rigorously to be the best they can be – for you! 

        •  Full first-aid training
        • Guide Training (trekking)
        • English and other common languages (as requested) 
        • Village and Land Conservation 
        • Mountaineering (for specialty expeditions or climbing treks)

        All our guides are carefully trained for leadership as good leadership is vital for your trek to be enjoyable, safe, and successful. Most of our guides grew up in Sherpa country or other mountainous parts of Nepal. Their pride in their region shows itself in the way they lead treks and interface with you. 

        Porters Care

        Courtesy and respect are fundamental for an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Our porters are an essential, integral part of each trekking team, and as such, they are well-treated and well-paid. After your trek, we believe you will find that they have fully earned your gratitude and respect. We do expect all trekkers to keep the weight of their baggage under 22kgs/40lbs. Adventure Club Trek maintains a full commitment to the rights of our porters, providing them with appropriate clothing, gear, and lodging. In case of serious accident or sickness, they receive the same care as anyone else employed on the trekking team, even including evacuation by helicopter at our expense if appropriate. We fully support the IPPG (International Porter Protection Group), which strives to maintain and improve our porter's working conditions.

        Travel Insurance

        To be adequately protected in terms of insurance, you will need specialist travel insurance for participation in hazardous activities. A travel insurance policy that covers helicopter evacuation, trip cancellation, injury, death, lost baggage, theft, liability, medical treatment, and expenses is strongly recommended. Make sure the insurance covers all the activities that you will be undertaking during your stay in Nepal such as trekking and climbing. If you are injured and unable to travel, you can ask for a rescue helicopter from a remote area only if you have definite proof you can pay for it. Adventure Club Trek has an agreement in Kathmandu that guarantees payment for helicopter evacuations. They pay a cash deposit to the helicopter operator and collect the money from you once you have been rescued. Be sure your policy specifically covers mountaineering or alpinism or you may have a difficult time settling a claim.

        Electricity, WIFI, and  Battery  Recharge

        Electricity is available in all teahouses where you will be spending the night. You can recharge your phones, laptops, or other electronic gadgets from solar panels or community hydroelectricity by paying a nominal charge. We strongly recommend you bring extra batteries or rechargeable power banks for backup. Regarding Wi-Fi, there are no free hotspots along the trekking trail and the cellphone coverage is very poor, so we do not encourage carrying your laptop. Some teahouses do offer paid Wi-Fi services on an hourly basis but don’t expect high-speed connectivity on the remote trails.

        Group Size and Team Composition 

        We always try to form a small group of like-minded people to give them a wonderful and perceptive travel experience. It provides opportunities to interact and share in a fun-filled environment when out in the wilderness. Generally, our travel group comprises a maximum of 16 members. We need at least two participants to run our fixed departure dates. For private trips, the number of group members does not apply. We always strive to form a team ensuring that the members are comfortable with one another.

        Communication on Trek

        On the Upper Mustang Tour in Nepal, the use of internet service will be available at lodges with some extra service charge. You can contact your family and friends from the lodges, but once we reach higher altitudes, the communication will be through the phone for safety purposes. We communicate with all our valuable clients through the team leader at least once a day to make sure you are fine and enjoying the trip. The Adventure Club Trek office in Kathmandu will constantly be in touch with you for any kind of help you may need during the trek. Depending on the kind of network you use, there could be a poor signal to the network before the high altitude. Upon your request, we can provide you with a separate local SIM card for better access to the network. Many places have WIFI service available at an extra cost.

        Tipping 

        Tipping is not mandatory in Nepal as most services include a service charge. However, if you want to express your gratitude, you are free to offer a tip to drivers, and hotel staff among others. People usually welcome such generosity. When it comes to tipping your porters or trekking leaders, use your discretion as per the quality of the services. Tip money does not form a part of our employees’ wages. However, you can use tipping as a way of showing appreciation for excellent service at the end of the trip.
