I must say that so far I have been travelling on my own and this was the first time I went with an agency but from the beginning to the end of the trip everything was really professional.
If I go to Nepal next time surely Outdoor Himalayan Treks will be my choice.
Upper Mustang Trek journeys you through the region of Nepal that is also familiar as Mustang Bhot, i.e. Mustang Tibet, Nepal. The reason is that this area falls beyond the mighty Himalayan range, isolating it from the rest of the nation and making it closer to Tibet. The Mustang has developed its own distinct cultural and geographical traits. It is an attraction not just for ordinary visitors but also for anthropologists, archeologists, and geologists.
