Mustang, once the forbidden Kingdom, is one of the purest Himalayan destinations in Nepal both in terms of geography and rich cultural heritage. It is culturally more closely connected to Tibet than Nepal. The region lies beyond the Himalayan range of mountains. The terrain is a semi-arid desert surrounded by snowy mountains.
Situated on the border of Nepal and Tibet, north of the Annapurna range, the tour is one of the finest Himalayan destinations for both its rugged mountain landscapes and rich cultural legacy. The tour follows a historic trade route between Nepal and Tibet. These whitewashed settlements, set amid fields of barley and home to impressive chhortens and simple monasteries, reflect the abiding Buddhist culture. This is an outstanding journey to one of the true gems of the Himalaya.

Kathmandu Valley has, perhaps, the densest concentration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Seven UNESCO WHS of Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Boudhha, Pashupati, Patan Durbar Square, Swoyambhu, Kathmandu Durbar Square and Changu Narayan Temple are framed within 400 sq km. For a full day tour exploring three UNESCO WHS are comfortably possible. For example, you may choose Bhaktapur Durbar Square (a medieval city square), Pashupati (the holiest Hindu temple) and Bouddha (a Buddhist stupa) for a smart mix of culture and architecture with two major religious (Buddhism and Hinduism) sites of Nepal.
