Nepal has many beautiful trekking routes. The country is popular in the world for having one of the most astonishing views of the mountains and forest. Every year many tourists arrive in Nepal to visit the various part of Nepal. Every sector of Nepal has maximum tourism potential and the visitors who visit Nepal know how true is that statement. One of the best trekking as per international, as well as the local tourists, is mustang trekking.

The northern part of Nepal is covered with the Himalayan range. The Himalayan range is famous in the world for having the highest and the most beautiful mountains in the world. It is not only in Nepal, but other neighboring countries also have a fair share of it. Talking about Nepal and its Himalayan range, the uppermost part of the country is covered in it and called the mountain region. The region has exceedingly difficult topography so in the uppermost region, vehicle roads are absent. Most of the paths need to be completed by the path. The construction of the bigger roads is also impossible to the extremely difficult terrain. This is also one of the reasons that the region has one of the most amazing trekking trails in the world.

Mustang is one of the eleven districts of the Gandaki zone. Gandaki zone lies on the western side of Kathmandu valley. Gandaki zone and its districts are famous for having the most beautiful destinations in entire Nepal. Gandaki is the perfect combination of all the elements that make it the ideal tourist destination. It has one of the biggest settlements of Nepal, the best trekking trails like Annapurna, Dhaulagiri trekking routes, the best mountains, Mustang valley, and many more. The tourist flow to this zone is hard to match with other zones of Nepal.

Mustang covers 3573km square of Gandaki zone. It is also one of the largest districts of Nepal. By area, it is the 5th largest district of Nepal. However, despite being so big in the area the district has a small number of residences. For a place of so much area, the population of the place according to the census of 2011 A.D is 13,452.

Mustang trekking is one of the famous trekking routes in Nepal. The trail consists of the circuit around the Mustang valley and visiting some of its important destinations. According to the visitors, Mustang trekking is very astonishing and beautiful. The trail is considered is not as hard as the trek to the mountains.

Itinerary

Day 01: Arrival at Kathmandu

Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal. Our Mustang trekking begins at Kathmandu valley. On the first day, the trekkers land at Tribhuvan International Airport in the valley. It is the only international airport in Nepal, so the international visitors need to arrive through here. However, Indian, and Chinese visitors can arrive in Nepal through the borders. Nepalese and Chinese people do not need a visa to live in either country for up to 30 days. While Indian and Nepalese do not need vista to be in either country. So, the people of those countries can avoid going to Kathmandu if their schedule favors them to enter the country through the borders.

After the arrival at Kathmandu, the visitors go to their hotels. At the hotel, the visitors will be described Mustang trekking. Itinerary, schedule, routes throughout details of Mustang trekking will be discussed and the questions of the trekkers will be answered thoroughly. Later in the evening if they wish if they want to visit the valley.

One day is not enough to thoroughly visit all the places of Kathmandu as the city has various places that need to be visited by tourists. The city has a rich cultural history that attracts many visitors. The big settlement is surrounded by beautiful hills from all sides which makes it extremely beautiful.

The trekkers will visit the important places or the places of their choice if they so desired. If they are Hindu, they may want to visit some of the holiest Hindu temples, while if they are Buddhist, they may want to visit the places like Boudha Nath and Shoyambhu Nath. Another reason to spend day 2 at Kathmandu is to get the required types of equipment for Mustang trekking. Kathmandu is also the biggest city in Nepal with massive markets. Medicines for specific diseases, gears, devices, etc. which may not be available in other parts of Nepal will be available here, so they need to assemble the items before starting mustang trekking.
