Our Upper Mustang Jeep Tour helps the travel enthusiast wanting to discover the gorgeous Upper Mustang on a 4WD Jeep. This is great for individuals who have a keen desire to see the region but are short on time, as well as for those travelers who wish to forgo the long hours of walking either owing to health concerns or fitness challenges.
Your Upper Mustang Jeep Tour commences from Pokhara, the gateway to Upper Mustang on a 4WD Jeep ride and all the other hikes in the Annapurna region. From here, our Jeep journey across the difficult terrain carves a road into Lo Manthang, the crown treasure of the region. We will enjoy the magnificent Jeep trip towards a majestic walled city rising from the desert-like landscape.
Its narrow alleys lined with traditional Tibetan dwellings draped with prayer flags floating in the wind make our Jeep adventure to Upper Mustang even more interesting.
