The Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang Trek, organized by Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage Treks & Expedition, is a journey that combines two of Nepal’s most spectacular trekking regions into one extraordinary adventure. The trek begins in the lush, subtropical lowlands near Kathmandu and gradually ascends through terraced fields, pine forests, and alpine landscapes before reaching the arid, mystical landscapes of Upper Mustang, often called the “Hidden Kingdom of Lo.” It is a trail full of contrasts: from tropical greenery to high Himalayan deserts, from gushing rivers to serene Buddhist monasteries perched atop cliffs. Along the way, trekkers witness spectacular views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, deep gorges, high mountain passes, and a rich tapestry of natural and cultural diversity.One of the highlights of this trek is crossing the Thorong La Pass (5,416 m/17,756 ft), one of the highest trekking passes in the world. After this challenging ascent, the journey continues through the culturally rich region of Upper Mustang, home to Tibetan-influenced villages, centuries-old monasteries, and unique desert landscapes. Trekkers experience life in the ancient walled capital of Lo Manthang, a place frozen in time, with traditional customs and architecture largely untouched by modernization. This trek is not only about mountains; it is a cultural immersion that allows trekkers to interact with people from multiple ethnic groups, learn about Tibetan Buddhism, and explore historical sites, temples, and monasteries scattered along the route.Highlights include:Crossing Thorong La Pass at 5,416 m.Visiting Muktinath Temple, a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists.Experiencing the Tibetan-influenced culture of Upper Mustang.Trekking through diverse topographies: subtropical, alpine, arid desert, and Tibetan plateau.Stunning views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Nilgiri ranges.This trek is ideal for adventure seekers, cultural enthusiasts, and nature lovers who want to explore the hidden corners of Nepal beyond the well-trodden paths.Best Season for Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang TrekThe ideal seasons for the Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang Trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is stable, the skies are generally clear, and the mountain views are at their most spectacular. Spring brings blooming rhododendrons, colorful flowers, and moderate temperatures, making the trek visually enchanting. Autumn offers crisp, cool air, vibrant landscapes, and excellent visibility of the towering Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, perfect for photography enthusiasts.The summer monsoon season (June to August) is less favorable because heavy rainfall causes slippery trails, landslides, and swollen rivers, making trekking hazardous. Winter (December to February) is possible, but temperatures drop significantly, especially in high-altitude areas like Thorong La Pass and Upper Mustang. Snowfall may block trails and increase the risk of altitude-related challenges. Despite these conditions, some trekkers still choose winter for solitude and pristine snow-covered landscapes.Key points for choosing the season:Spring (Mar-May): Blooming rhododendrons, moderate temperatures, clear skies.Autumn (Sep-Nov): Dry weather, crisp air, vibrant landscapes, best visibility.Summer (Jun-Aug): Heavy rain, slippery trails, landslide risk – not recommended.Winter (Dec-Feb): Cold, potential snow, less crowded, requires high-altitude gear.Selecting the right season enhances trekking safety, enjoyment, and photographic opportunities, ensuring an unforgettable experience across the Annapurna region and the hidden valleys of Upper Mustang.Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang Trek: Difficulty and TransportationThe Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang Trek is considered moderate to strenuous depending on your experience with high-altitude trekking. While the trek begins at relatively low elevations, it rapidly ascends through challenging terrains, including steep trails, rocky paths, river crossings, and the high-altitude Thorong La Pass at 5,416 m. Altitude sickness is a concern, especially during the ascent to Thorong La, and trekkers must follow proper acclimatization schedules, including rest days at Manang and strategic hydration. Physical preparation is essential, and a good level of fitness is recommended for tackling long walking distances and varying terrain.Transportation during the trek is typically a mix of road drives and flights. The journey starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Jagat or Synge, which may take 7–8 hours due to mountain roads. After completing the Upper Mustang portion, trekkers often fly from Jomsom to Pokhara, enjoying panoramic views of the Annapurna range. Finally, a short drive returns trekkers to Kathmandu for a farewell dinner. This combination of trekking, road transport, and domestic flight ensures the trek covers a wide range of landscapes efficiently.Key points:Moderate to strenuous trek, challenging high-altitude sections.Requires physical fitness and proper acclimatization.Transportation: Kathmandu–Jagat by road; Jomsom–Pokhara by domestic flight.Walking distance per day: 4–17 km, depending on altitude and terrain.High-altitude gear is recommended for the Thorong La and Upper Mustang regions.This trek is a perfect balance of adventure and accessibility, combining physically demanding sections with manageable travel logistics.Food and Accommodation for Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang TrekThe Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang Trek is primarily a teahouse trek, meaning accommodations are available in villages along the route in guesthouses or lodges called “tea houses.” These tea houses provide basic rooms with beds and blankets, shared or private bathrooms, and warm communal spaces. As the trek progresses into higher altitudes and Upper Mustang, facilities become simpler, but they maintain comfort and hospitality for trekkers. Staying in tea houses allows travelers to immerse themselves in local culture, meet other trekkers, and enjoy home-cooked Nepali meals.Food along the trek is varied and caters to both local and international palates. Common meals include Dal Bhat (lentils with rice), noodles, soups, and vegetable curries. Western options such as pasta, pizza, and pancakes are available in larger villages. Fresh water can often be purchased, or trekkers may use purification tablets. Eating smaller, more frequent meals is advised to maintain energy levels for high-altitude trekking.Highlights for food and accommodation:Tea houses in every village with basic comforts.Meals include local Nepali cuisine and some Western dishes.Private and shared rooms with blankets; hot showers available in select locations.Opportunity to interact with local families and learn about their lifestyle.Carry essential snacks and water purification tablets for remote areas.This setup ensures trekkers experience authentic village life while maintaining comfort and energy for the challenging trek.Annapurna Circuit to Upper Mustang Trek PermitsThe trek requires several permits, as it passes through restricted and conservation areas.

During these seasons, the weather is at its best, and you can enjoy clearer views of the mountains. The temperature ranges from 10°C-15°C in spring and from 5 °C to 10 °C in the fall.Everest three passes trekking during the winter and monsoon seasons is not recommended due to challenging weather conditions.

The trail gets covered with snow, and crossing high mountain passes is extremely risky and challenging. However, the skies are clear, and the mountain views are breathtaking.On the other hand, during the monsoon, from June to August, there is a high risk of landslides, and the trails become muddy, making it difficult to trek. Moreover, the weather during this time can be unpredictable, with heavy rainfall and low visibility.

It can be a lifesaver in case of emergencies, especially when trekking in remote and high-altitude areas like the Everest region.One of the main reasons why travel insurance is crucial for the three passes trek is due to the risks associated with high-altitude trekking. The trek involves ascending to altitudes above 5000 meters, where the risks of altitude sickness and other medical emergencies increase significantly.If you were to fall ill or get injured during the trek, travel insurance would cover the costs of medical treatment, helicopter evacuations, and emergency transportation to the nearest medical facility.

Here you will meet the lifestyles of true mountain people, who, for lots of years, had very little contact with the rest of Nepal and managed to retain their wealthy cultural heritage. Until recently, their king was formally recognized by the Government of Nepal.In many ways, a trek into Upper Mustang is comparable to trekking in Tibet, as geographically it is a part of the Tibetan plateau. The district of Mustang was, till 1950, a separate kingdom within the boundaries of Nepal. The remaining king, the Raja of Mustang, still resides in the historical capital recognized as Lo Manthang.Best Season If you are looking for the perfect option for trekking in Nepal during the summer months, the Upper Mustang will automatically come on your radar.

However, the most epic experience of the Manaslu circuit trek is crossing the snow-covered Manaslu Larkya Pass to the Bhimtang. Why is the Manaslu circuit a restricted region in Nepal?Manaslu Circuit is a restricted region in Nepal because it is located close to the Nepal-Tibet border and contains sensitive geopolitical and cultural areas. The Manaslu region was only opened to tourists in 1991, and since then, the Nepalese government has imposed certain restrictions on travelers to this area.The main reason for the restrictions is to protect the region's natural and cultural heritage. The Manaslu region is home to several endangered species of flora and fauna, including snow leopards, blue sheep, Himalayan Tahr, etc. The region is also home to several ethnic groups, including the Nubri and Tsumba people, who have their unique cultural traditions and practices.Special regulations for Manaslu circuit trekThe Nepalese government regulates access to the Manaslu region by requiring trekkers to obtain a special permit to enter the area. The permit is only issued through authorized trekking agencies, and travelers must be accompanied by a licensed guide during their trek. Additionally, the government imposes a minimum group size requirement of two persons to obtain the permit, which aims to ensure safety and minimize the impact on the environment and local communities.Manaslu circuit trek permitThe Manaslu circuit trek requires Special Restricted Area Permit for Manaslu and Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP Permit). As our itinerary enters the Annapurna region at the end of the trek, you will also need Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP Permit). All of these permit fees are already included in our Manaslu circuit trek cost, so you do not have to pay additional money.Special Restricted Area Permit for ManasluSeptember to November: USD 100 per person for the first seven days and an additional USD 15 per person per day from the eighth day onwards.December to August: USD 75 per person for the first seven days and an additional USD 10 per person per day from the eighth day onwards.Manaslu Conservation Area Project permit cost: USD 30Annapurna Conservation Area Project permit cost: USD 30Manaslu circuit trek in off-seasonSummer or monsoon season in Nepal falls between June and August. It is not the ideal time for Manaslu circuit trekking. The region experiences heavy rainfall, making the forest trail slippery, muddy, and wet. Mosquitoes, leeches, and bugs make the trekking experience unpleasant. Landslides are also common during the monsoon season. As you trek higher, the chance of rainfall decreases, but it is still advisable to avoid trekking during this time.Winter in Nepal, from December to February, transforms the Manaslu region into a winter wonderland of snow. The days are shorter, and the temperature is cooler, making it a low trekking season in the area. However, the trails are quieter, and the snow-capped peaks are dazzling, making it a good time for trekking. With fewer crowds, you can enjoy the tranquility and peacefulness of the region.Travel insurance for Manaslu circuit trekTravel insurance is crucial for the Manaslu circuit trek. It provides financial protection and security against any unforeseen circumstances such as injury, illness, theft, or trip cancellation. Trekking in high altitude and remote areas like Manaslu Circuit comes with certain risks that can be costly and difficult to handle on your own.A comprehensive travel insurance policy for the Manaslu circuit should cover emergency medical expenses, evacuation by helicopter, repatriation, trip cancellation, personal liability, and theft. The insurance policy should also cover trekking activities above 4,000 meters and helicopter rescue, which is a common mode of evacuation in case of a medical emergency.Money exchange and ATM on trailThe currency used in Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). You can exchange foreign currencies such as US Dollars, Euros, and British Pounds at authorized money exchange counters in Kathmandu or in the major cities along the trail.ATMs are not available on the Manaslu circuit trek route. So, we recommend you withdraw enough Nepali cash to use during the trek for personal expenses. The locals do not accept cards. Transportation to Manaslu Circuit TrekkingAs per the package, Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage Trek offers transportation by bus(available early in the morning only) from Kathmandu (Gongabu Bus Park) to Machhakhola (9/10 hrs) and Dharapani to Besisahar by a local Jeep (4/5 hrs), then we switch to another bus or van to Kathmandu (6/7 hrs). The bus might be congested, overcrowded (especially if you are traveling during festival time), not tidy, and stop in many villages to pick up and drop off more people en route, but it definitely takes a couple of hours longer than a private jeep to reach the final destination. However, you can take part in the experience and enjoy it as well. Otherwise, we will provide private transportation on request, which costs a total of $290 to Machhakhola and $420 from Dharapani to Kathmandu.Telecommunications and wifi facilities in the Manaslu Region?The Manaslu Region, located in the central part of Nepal, is a popular destination for trekking and mountaineering.

They are particularly useful for emergency situations where immediate communication is necessary.In terms of wi fi facilities, most tea houses and lodges along the trekking route offer wifi services.

The spring season (March to May) and autumn season (September to November) are considered the best times for this adventure. During these months, the weather is generally stable, the skies remain clear, and climbers can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.Spring is particularly popular because the Khumbu region becomes vibrant with blooming rhododendron forests and mild temperatures. The climbing routes are more stable, and the snow conditions are favorable for summit attempts. In addition, many major expeditions to Mount Everest occur during spring, which creates a lively atmosphere along the trail. Climbers also get the chance to interact with mountaineers from around the world.Autumn is another excellent season for climbing Lobuche East Peak. After the monsoon rains wash away dust and haze, the skies become crystal clear, offering exceptional mountain views. The temperatures are moderate, and the trekking trails are dry and comfortable for walking. Autumn also coincides with Nepal’s major festivals such as Dashain and Tihar, allowing climbers to experience rich local culture.Although climbing is possible in winter and early monsoon periods, these seasons are less recommended due to extremely cold temperatures, heavy snowfall, and unstable weather conditions.Spring (March–May): Warm weather and blooming landscapesAutumn (September–November): Clear skies and stable climateWinter (December–February): Very cold but less crowdedMonsoon (June–August): Rain and poor visibilityLobuche East Peak Climbing Difficulty and TransportationLobuche East Peak Climbing is generally considered a moderately challenging Himalayan climbing adventure.

However, with proper guidance and training from experienced Sherpa guides, even climbers with limited technical experience can successfully reach the summit.The major challenge during the climb is high altitude, as climbers reach elevations above 6,000 meters. Proper acclimatization is therefore extremely important. The itinerary includes acclimatization hikes such as Nagarjun Hill and rest days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche to reduce the risk of altitude sickness. Good physical fitness, endurance, and mental determination play a crucial role in completing the expedition.Transportation for Lobuche East Peak Climbing begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, followed by a thrilling mountain flight to Lukla (2,804 m).
