    my great experience with my guide KISIM and JEEBAN of agency NEPAL ADVENTURE TEAM in Upper Mustang and Annapurna Circuit

    Go to Nepal, go as soon as possible to Nepal! Times are changing, not forever you'll be able to find so much authenticity, so warm and naturally friendly people, such unspoiled nature... Go there and find JEEBAN Thapa Magar and his agency NEPAL ADVENTURE TEAM!! And ask for KISIM!! Perhaps he'll also help you and carry your sleeping bag. And he will go with you, step after step, mostly quiet, sometimes even singing; and he'll care for everything and he will be so very sensible to feel who you are, what you want, how you want, what and how to eat, where to stay overnight..and he'll find a way even in nowhere, and he'll be with you on your way to the heart of this landscape, to the heart of these people... And he and Jeeban were so flexible to change the route as I wanted it and Kissim walked with me even longer up and down and again up and down in hot sun, by strong dusty wind, in morning coolness.. and in Kathmandu he took me on his scooter and had a good plan to show me all the attractions... and he took me to his so dear family.. And Jeeban let me stay and eat and sleep in his home with his family and he didn't take money for it and he even wanted to give me money back as my flight didn't work and he waited for hours at the airport as my flight had a delay..and I felt like a member of these two families - wow, I'll never, never forget You and Your hospitality!! Yes, go to NEPAL, to JEEBAN and his NEPAL ADVENTURE TEAM and go with KISIM - you'll find friends!! And go the way of ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT, you'll be every day surrounded by ever higher mountains, by kind people living in their ancient houses.. having so little, too less! Go to MUSTANG!! Go to Ghiling and Tsarang, to Lo Manthang, to Yara and Tangge, to Muktinath.. It is really very unique experience of nature, shining in all colors and formations, deep canons, the infinite distances, with scattered white stupas, red golden monasteries... it's a great experience with all these kind people in their way of living, of their traditions, of their religions- and again and again their singing..!! The road through Mustang is in working progress, Jeep-driving tourists will come soon and more and more and it will change a lot!! Go now!! And say hello to Kisim, to Jeeban, to their families, to all these people, to this amazing country Nepal!!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your excellent review ! It was awesome trekking and we are very happy organize trek for you, you are amazing girl who were most famous strongest one. Thanks again IvanaKut.

    Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,633 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 Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days take?

    +

    Plan for about 384 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 Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days?

    +

    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 Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 384-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days?

    +

    Around 0 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 384-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days 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 is included in Upper Mustang Trekking - 17 Days?

    +

    Included: ACAP (Annapurna Area Conservation Project); Trip briefing with full information; Service of trekking guides / porters and other field staff with daily wages-medical insura; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Nepal visa fee; International flight (airfare); Extra drinks as alcoholic and non-alcoholic; and Personal expenses as phone bill, chocolate, bakery and cake, battery charge, laundry and e.

    +
