Upper Mustang is a special place in Nepal that preserves many Tibetan traditions and lies on the border with China. Every year, visitors trek to this unique location to experience the local Buddhist culture and visit monasteries, pilgrimage sites, and local towns on the way. Furthermore, the mountain views and culture are also one of a kind. Every year, the Tiji Festival, a special 3-day Buddhist ceremony that reenacts the chasing out of demons from the sacred land of Lo Manthang, takes place in the region.
On this trek, we will get to both explore Upper Mustang and participate in the unique festivities of the Tiji Festival. Furthermore, we will spend 1 night in a local home, 1 night in a monastery guest house, and one night at a tea house, which will give us a real feel of the local culture. Of course, you will need to be physically fit, as we will be hiking for 4 to 5 hours a day. The Tiji festival of 2023 will take place on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of May of 2023.
So, are you ready for an exciting Upper Mustang trek and Tiji Festival? Then book your place now and join us!
Or, if you prefer, you can join us on a shorter Pikey Peak trek in the Everest region and get a taste of the Himalayan way of life.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
