Amazing Experience in Upper Mustang with Nepal Intrepid Treks
I came to Nepal to do the Upper Mustang trek with my friends in March 2025. We started our trek from Kagbeni, accompanied by my friend and guide. The blend of Tibetan and Hindu cultures was fascinating, and I especially enjoyed learning about the traditions of Buddhism. The people in that area were very kind.
I was amazed by the monasteries we visited; the entire region was fantastic. The ancient villages perched on the hills surprised us with their unique history and architecture. The variety of colorful paintings and decorations left a lasting impression.
I want to sincerely thank Nepal Intrepid Treks for supporting our trek, as well as our guide and Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks.
