Upper Mustang Trek is a remote trek that lies in the Trans Himalayan mountain region of Nepal. It is known as the last forbidden kingdom of Nepal as tourists were not allowed to enter this region before the 1990s. But the official trekking to Upper Mustang started from 1992 A.D. Only limited trekkers are allowed to pass through it with a special permit. This is because the local people didn’t want to spoil their culture and tradition. The trek starts from Jomsom and Kagbeni is the gateway to Upper Mustang.
