If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received. If you cancel one month before departure, 10… - **Booking type (label)**: supabase-request ## What’s included / kit / extras (plain text excerpts) ### Highlights 17-day teahouse walk from Kagbeni to Lo Manthang Chele, Ghami, Tsarang, and the walled city on foot Sky caves and palace walls in the former kingdom Restricted Mustang permits arranged from Kathmandu Exit via Muktinath or Jomsom after the desert days 🗺️ Trip Overview On foot, Upper Mustang walks the Kali Gandaki and side valleys to Lo Manthang with teahouse nights in Chele, Syangbochen, Ghami, and Tsarang. Restricted permits and a licensed guide are required from Kathmandu. Chele, Ghami, Tsarang, and Lo Manthang on foot put you in the former kingdom at walking pace. Lo’s palace walls, sky caves, and arid passes are the landmarks. You exit via Muktinath or Jomsom after days in the former kingdom. Teahouse nights stay in the desert villages, so you feel the climb toward the palace rather than hopping the road. ✨ Why Choose Us Bhagwat started as a porter in 1998, is a licensed guide, studied tourism in Nepal and the UK, and still leads groups when he can. On this walk he, or a sirdar he has trained, paces Kagbeni, Chele, Ghiling, and Charang so you reach Lo Manthang on teahouse days. You'll have insured porters with kit renewed each year, one porter for two guests and loads kept around 25 to 30 kg. We'll confirm the Jomsom flight, the Chogo La and Gyu La mornings, and the Muktinath to Jomsom walk-out before you pack, and your guide shares the next lodge night every evening. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Airport pickup and hotel drop-off in a private vehicle Three nights in a 3-star Kathmandu hotel with breakfast Two nights in a 3-star Pokhara hotel with breakfast Guided Kathmandu sightseeing by private vehicle Flight tickets for domestic travel between Pokhara and Jomsom are included Meals provided during the trek Bus transportation between Kathmandu and Pokhara is included The necessary special permit for Upper Mustang is included Tour permits and paperwork handled for you Teahouse or lodge accommodation on the trail TIMS permit included National park entry permit ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Nepal visa fees International flights to and from Kathmandu Kathmandu monument entrance fees on sightseeing Kathmandu hotel stay with breakfast on the itinerary Meals in Kathmandu and Pokhara (except those provided during the trek) are not included Travel and emergency rescue insurance Personal trail costs (phone, laundry, drinks, charging, showers, water) ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? March to May rhododendron bloom and October to November crisp air are peak windows for this itinerary. July and August mean leeches and cloud on lower slopes; December to February can ice steps above village level. Your guide reads the forecast before long cols or sunrise hikes. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, road transfers, porter support, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. ### What is not included? International flights to Nepal, visa fees, compulsory travel insurance, personal trekking clothing, snacks and drinks outside included meals, and tips for crew are not covered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Share your Tribhuvan arrival time ahead of travel for a Thamel hotel transfer, or make your own way to the meeting hotel in the capital. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. Briefings cover Lukla bag weight, porter duffle limits, and what to wear on the mountain flight. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How does altitude sickness management work? Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. ### How do we reach the trailhead? Jeep or bus days to the remote trailhead are arranged when they are part of your package. Your guide confirms departure times at briefing. Motion sickness medicine helps on winding mountain roads. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. ### What permits are required? National park or restricted-area permits apply depending on the valleys you cross. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/d3f2ece0-e3af-4baf-909d-c53e4dfe7965/9d0a769d-1746-47e0-9a43-530c6f392820/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
