7 Things to Do During Mustang Valley Trek

Mustang, also known as the "Mini Tibet of Nepal" is a heavenly place that has a lot of great things in store for you. Located towards the North-West part of Nepal, at an elevation of 3840 meters, the divine topography is bound to make you astounded and bewildered. This place is a great attraction site for both international and domestic tourists.

Until 1992, Upper Mustang was a restricted kingdom of Nepal, therefore, the place is much preserved and has a lot to offer to the new world. A majority of the population still speaks traditional Tibetic languages instead of Nepali due to its close connection with Tibet. In recent years, a team of National Geography launched a discovery investigation on the Sky Caves of Nepal that led to the discovery of the unknown ancient civilization and history of this region.

Visiting Muktinath Temple

Since the Muktinath temple is built at an altitude of 3800 meters, the temple holds a record for the "World's Highest Altitude Located Temples". The temple is sacred in the Hindu Vaishnavas and is known as a place of salvation. Here, it is said that the five essential elements of life (i.e. air, water, earth, fire, and space) co-exist in perfect harmony.

Bathe in Holy Muktidhara

There are 108 waterspouts around the temple from where crisp water flows straight from the mountains and the glaciers. These waterspouts are called Mukti Dhara, and people often take a bath there, despite the freezing temperature, because it is considered sacred. Nevertheless, it would undoubtedly be a unique experience.

Trekking in Mustang

Mustang is sub-categorized into Upper Mustang and Lower Mustang; these two regions enable you to explore different landscapes of Nepal. These places are often sought by people who have a knack for exploring difficult trail roads. Upper Mustang resembles Tibet, and you may enjoy bright, dry treks during the summer since it is difficult during the winter. But the Lower Mustang is accessible throughout the year and provides stupendous views as well whilst trekking through the beautiful rhododendron forests.

Jeep Safari

Booking a private jeep and cruising through the wild-lands of Mustang indeed enables you to stop by anywhere to observe the beauty of the place and to capture pictures. This safari tour is friendly and appropriate for people of all ages. The topography might be uneven, but it doesn't stop people who have a fierce heart. You can do a lot of recreational activities here as well as horse riding, mountain biking, cycling, rock climbing, and many more.

Natural Scenic Sites

After walking uphill for 45 minutes, and crossing the small metal bridge over Kali Gandaki River, we can view the magnificent canyon similar to that of the USA's. Mustang is also home to one of the deepest gorges of Nepal. These places are great to capture pictures to cherish for a lifetime. The lower Mustang provides a fantastic view and allows you to walk through the beautiful rhododendron forests and Magnolia. You may also spot some species namely the snow leopard, musk deer, and some endangered species of reptiles, mammals, mollusks, and butterflies.

Town of Apple Orchard

The economy of Mustang relies on farming, tourism, and animals. It is also rich in apple fields and vegetation. And the apples of Marpha, Mustang are beloved by Nepalese from all over. The lush valley of the apples envelopes the pretty town surrounded by green, irrigated orchards. You must taste these apples as well as the apple pies, wine, and dried fruits.

Sightseeing Ancient Monasteries

You may visit the 500 years old monasteries and the age-old Kagbeni village. These places are visited by Hindus and Buddhists to offer prayer and to pay homage to their ancestors. The Tiji Festival is greatly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and is a great way to observe a blend of both cultures as well. Also do not forget to try their local cuisine.
