    Amazing Experience

    In May, we six friends decided to trek the Upper Mustang journey. After looking at a few businesses, we received an email from one of my friends who had previously taken services from the Nepal Hiking agency. Tilak and Bhairam at the agency responded to all of our enquiries when we called them. They gave us all the information we needed to know before our trip, and they offered fantastic service throughout. Therefore, we can't think of anything to complain about them. They provided guides and porters, who were friendly and helpful. At all times, we felt safe. Also, the weather was perfect. If you’re looking for world-class trekking experiences Nepal Hiking is the way to go!

    Response from the operator: Dear guests, Thank you for placing your candid review at TripAdvisor. Thank you once again for joining the Mustang trek with us. We are glad you enjoyed the trek with our company. We hope to see you again soon in your next trek. Best regards, Nepal Hiking Pvt. Ltd.

    Again excellent experience with Nepal Hiking

    This was my second visit to Nepal and another great experience with Nepal Hiking. Bhairam is excellent manager who will go an extra mile to make you feel welcomed, secure and comfortable. Gokal and Bishnu were excellent guides and companions during wonderful trek to Upper Mustang. What I really liked is flexibility in adjusting to our tempo and our wishes. They really took care of us, especially being with my girlfriend who was first time in Nepal and doing trekking. Great communication, honesty and professionalism. I will be coming back in October for another Annapurna trek and again will be doing it with Nepal Hiking! Great work guys!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your 2nd visit in Nepal and your trust with NepalHiking. Glad to know you enjoyed your trip to Upper Mustang with us.

    12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,340 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal take?

    +

    Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    The operator sets a minimum age of 9. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.

    How far in advance should I book 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What happens to 12 days Upper Mustang Trek in Annapurna Region, Nepal if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Kathmandu. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
