Upper Mustang Overland Tour Itinerary

From Kathmandu, the tour begins with a jeep ride to Pokhara. We will then travel to Jomsom from Pokhara. The administrative center of Mustang, Jomsom, serves as the public face of the region and its tourism. You will take a seat in an overland jeep safari that will take you through many historical and cultural towns in Mustang. The tour then takes you to the Kingdom of Upper Mustang, also known as Lo Manthang. The tour will take you through the several historically significant and culturally significant villages of Mustang. With a full day of exposure to the ancient city's customs, traditions, and way of life, the safari will then take you to Muktinath temple.

By jeep, the upper Mustang travels through the Kaligandaki Gorge, the deepest gorge in the world, to reach Kagbeni. We even get to enjoy the natural hot spring at Tatopani, relish every bite of juicy apples at Marpha, and finally enter the ancient kingdom of Lo Manthang. The rocky valley of Lo Manthang winds opposite the hill, from south to north, and toward the Tibetan border.

Road distances from Kathmandu to Pokhara are 200 km, Pokhara to Jomsom is 155 km, and Jomsom to Lomanthang is 60 km. Driving through the mountain range with its many vistas is an excellent experience during the tour. The distances between the destinations may seem high, but we will be touring around for 13 days. So, the everyday distance we cover will be pretty low, and we will spend more time exploring than on the road!

Attractions

The Mystical Jomsom

Jomsom is a tourism hub for culturally rich Mustang. Additionally, it serves as the entry point to the Mustang region. The ethereal views of the Himalayas and the magnificent natural diversity of the Mustang are captivating experiences. Pine trees and illuminating vistas of the hills and mountains beautify the environment. The vast majority of people practice Buddhism in Jomsom. Gumbas and stone temples are plentiful in Jomsom, making your tour experience a spiritual venture.

One of-a-Kind Himalayan Views

You will witness some of the most alluring and mystical views of various Himalayan ranges as soon as the tour departs from Pokhara. With the Chure range and Kaligandaki flowing in between, the Annapurna, Fishtail, Tukuche Peak, Thorung Peak, Annapurna I, Nilgiri, and Dhaulagiri mountains would also be visible. You will see the valley's surrounding towering cliffs and rock formations in the background. Visitors will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thanks to the Annapurna Conservation Area, to experience the mysterious geographical mysticism of the Mustang region.

Fossilized Shaligram Stones at Kaligandaki River

The presence of Shaligram stones is the most defining characteristic of the Kaligandaki River. The stone is renowned for its uniqueness and beauty, a golden black stone with fossilized spacing inside. Shaligram is believed to be a component of Lord Bishnu and is a significant part of Hindu culture. One of the holiest stones in Hindu mythology, Shaligram is revered as Lord Vishnu. The devotees believe that Shaligram devotion grants you the ability to battle the evil within you and bring about a great deal of inner serenity.

The ancient kingdom of Lo Manthang

Founded in the 1300s, the walled capital of the ancient kingdom of Lo opened for tourists in 1992. This enigmatic location is undiscovered and remains far from accessible to modern tourism. Lo Manthang became a dependent but retained its hereditary kings when the Shahs of Gorkha united Nepal from the smaller kingdoms they had conquered throughout the 18th century. This arrangement persisted as long as Nepal was a monarchy, which it was until 2008. When the republican government took power in Nepal and Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista, the monarch, was stripped of his throne. And Lo Manthang was incorporated into Mustang's Village Development Committee.

The Royal Palace, constructed some 600 years ago, is one of Lo Manthang's most notable features, along with its gompas and tall whitewashed mud-brick walls. Jampa Lhakhang or Jampa Gompa, popularly known as "God House," is one of the gompas in Lo Manthang and is the oldest. It was constructed in the early 15th century. The next one is Thubchen Gompa, erected in the late 15th century and situated southwest of Jampa Gompa. Chodey Gompa is currently the primary gompa, while Choprang Gompa is referred to as the "New Gompa."

In Lo Manthang, a group of at least twelve are set on sheer cliffs at 14,000 feet, north of Annapurna, close to the town, and embellished with ancient Buddhist artwork has just been found. These paintings, believed to date from the 13th century, exhibit the Newari culture's impact. Those paintings include ink-written Tibetan letters, silver and gold, and pre-Christian pottery fragments.

Additionally, archaeologists have uncovered ancient paintings, monuments, stone arts, and manuscripts from the old kingdom, in addition to partially mummified bodies that date back several hundred years. This is the ultimate maneuver to draw in contemporary tourists who want to see and learn about ancient history and culture.

The Unique Festival of Tiji

The Mustang locals strongly regard the Tiji celebration as the most auspicious festival in the Upper Mustang. Tiji is a holiday commemorating the triumph of good over evil. Tiji is observed as a victory of good over evil. According to legend, a demon was causing havoc and destroying the Mustang region by spreading disease, killing innocent people, and stealing the water. To reclaim all the water and prevent Mustang from being extinct, Dorje Jono engaged in battle with this demon and ultimately defeated him. Tiji is commemorated and celebrated with prayer chants and vibrant dances as a reminder of that momentous day.

The three-day Tiji celebration typically occurs in the middle of May. The "Choedhe" monastery's monks perform ritual dances during the occasion. Through a series of dancing, the performance depicts significant events. On the first day, the "Tsha Chham" dance describes the persecution of the Ma Tam Ru Ta demon. Similarly, on the second day, the "Nga Chham" depicts the birth of the second son of the demon, Dorjee Sonnu. Likewise, on the final day, the dance represents an attempt to bring the demon back to the Buddha's realm.

The Himalayan Temple of Muktinath

At the height of roughly 3,749 meters, the well-known temple of Lord Muktinath is located 18 kilometers northeast of Jomsom. Muktinath is a highly revered holy site for both Hindus and Buddhists, and it is placed on the foothill of Thorang La Pass. It is one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu and the Vaishnava tradition in Nepal. The temple is well-known among the Hindu devotees as Mukti Kshetra, which translates to "place of salvation."

The ever-burning candle (akhanda diyo) at the temple is seen as a symbol of peace and harmony. It is said that going here at least once in your life will free you from the anguish and misery of this world. It is one of Nepal's eight holiest religious sites.
