Upper Mustang Hiking and Mountain Biking

Our previous travelers highly recommend the Hiking and Biking trek. Upper Mustang stands out as the top destination for hiking and biking in Nepal, offering incredible views, spectacular landscapes, and thrilling adventures as you bike and trek through the rugged terrain. The snow-covered mountains in the background enhance the beauty of the trek, adding an extra layer of excitement.

Our Hiking and Mountain Biking/Cycling adventure to Upper Mustang begins with a flight or drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. From Pokhara, we'll take a flight to Jomsom, where we'll meet our cycling team. The team will provide an overview of the landscape, terrain, and important safety guidelines to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. Due to Mustang's location on the leeward side of Nepal, it can become extremely windy and dusty in the afternoon, so we recommend reaching Jomsom before noon. Some sections of the trail may be too difficult for biking, so we’ll hike through those areas. Along the way, you can enjoy fresh, organic apples from Mustang's orchards to re-energize while riding through challenging high terrain and rocky paths.

Due to its leeward location, Upper Mustang experiences significantly less rainfall during the monsoon season compared to other regions, making hiking and cycling possible year-round. However, August and October are the peak months for trekkers. The Tiji Festival, recognized as the most vibrant and significant celebration in Upper Mustang occurs in October. During this festival, you can witness meditation and dancing, and you’ll have the chance to participate if you visit during this time.
