The Himalayas of Nepal can be trekked with the family and smaller kids. This ‘Family Trip to Upper Mustang’ is moderately customized to meet the need and expectation of the family. Within ten days, the family can experience the thrill and joy of exploring the ancient villages, amazing landscape, interesting cultures and breathtaking scenery.
Mustang was once an important route for crossing the Himalaya between Tibet and Nepal, and many of the old salt caravans passed through Mustang. It is this area which we will travel to, discovering the wonders of the architecture, language, culture and traditions which are almost purely Tibetan in this once-upon-a-time mystical kingdom. We get to enjoy the rich culture of the Bhotias and the Lobas in their traditional form, unchanged with time and modernization. This trek takes you to the once hidden kingdom of Lo and offers you a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the ancient villages, palaces, forts and monasteries. Once you reach the walled village of Lo Manthang, the capital of Upper Mustang, you get to explore the walled village and its ancient monasteries. There are more wonders to explore around Lo-Manthang including monasteries hung on the cliffs, the man-made dug-in-tunnel caves on the cliffs where people used to live and colorful villages of Tibetan influence
Let also the little ones enjoy the Himalaya adventure in Nepal.
