The Nepali government has enforced expensive entrance permission fees to regulate the flow of visitors in this area of Nepal to preserve the ecosystem.
You will look at the untouched natural environment by going on the Upper Mustang Trek. There are no luxurious hotels or contemporary facilities available because the area has not been fully modernized. But you will be able to take in the stunning natural beauty, the amazing desolation, and the extraordinary creation of enormous boulders.
Upper Mustang's desolate scenery is given a burst of color by the white-washed home, vibrant prayer flags, historic chortens, and lovely farms. You will be traveling over an old salt trade route when you go on the Upper Mustang Trekking. You can see the historic village of Lo Manthang in the distance as you approach the Lo La Pass. Long prayer wheels, unmarked chortens, and herds of animals ambling across the fields will be seen along the route.
