Believed to be the Hidden Kingdom, the Upper Mustang is a great place to trek for those who wish to go on a challenging trek along “off the beaten path” in the Trans-Himalayan Region. The upper mustang reaches of the Kali Gandaki Riverwas only recently opened for trekkers; therefore, in order to go trek in these areas, we need to go through certain formalities required by the Government of Nepal.
