Mustang is situated on the Northern side of the Annapurna Himal and bordering Tibet (China). And the Mustang Region used to be called the Mustang kingdom. The Mustang area is a true gift to the earth and you must see it to believe it. While trekking in the Upper Mustang region of Nepal, we can admire the uniqueness of the tree-less landscape, rocky trails, and views of Nilgiri, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and the other Himalayas. Due to the fact that this region was completely isolated from the rest of the world. Therefore, from 1991 onward, this place was only opened for trekking to groups.

Specifically, the barley, potatoes, and buckwheat are grown here. In addition, these grown plants are the staple diet of the villages through which our trek passes to reach the ancient walled fortress city of Lo Manthang. From here the border of Tibet is just a stone’s throw away. From Lo Manthang we can either return along from the same trail or head back to Jomsom by way of the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath. So, the Upper Mustang motorbike is one of the challenging and adventurous motorbiking in Nepal.
