PROGRAM
Nepal is subject to monsoons from May to September, but Mustang is in the arid region of the Tibetan plateau and you can visit all year round without fear of long rains. During the trekking, we will mainly stay in lodges. If tents are required, they will be provided by the organisation. Porters or animals like yak or horses will carry common materials and participants’ equipment. You can also rent a horse for the day. Our corresponding agency will take care of the local organization of the trekking and will offer the group porters and an English speaking guide. Groups with more than 12 participants will have a tour leader from Italy.

Arrival in Kathmandu-Nepal.

Rest day in Kathmandu. Trekking permit regularization. Last minute purchase of materials and food for the trekking.

Flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara.
4° DAY
Flight from Pokhara to Jomsom (2,700 m), where the trek begins. We will go up the valley, where the rock walls take on unusual colours, from red to green to blue. The vegetation is found only around the villages and is an explosion of life in a desert place: buckwheat, barley and goats herding are the livelihood of local populations.

If you’re lucky enough to get there at harvest time, the atmosphere is magical: hundreds of people are out in the fields harvesting the crop and everywhere horses carrying it inside the walls.
