Overview

The Lower Mustang Trek in itself is an opportunity to explore the hidden beauty of Nepal. Filled with local Tibetan people, greenery, apple orchards, and a much lower Mustang trek must be on your trekking list for now. However, with the right team like Roving Nepal Trek, the chance to enjoy the beauty of Mustang gets doubled. From the hidden locations to secret trails, we try and provide trekkers with an option to enjoy the journey to the fullest. A total of 14 days will be spent with the team of Roving Nepal Trek and understanding the true essence of trekking. But before jumping right in, it is important to understand some hidden know-how of the lower Mustang trek.

Cost of Lower Mustang Trek

A lot of the trekkers might be thinking that lower Mustang trek cost is lower compared to the Upper Mustang Trek. You might be right to some extent but the actual cost of the trek is hard to predict. As the time taken to complete the trek is similar in both cases, it is understandable that the cost might be on similar grounds. However, the tougher terrains in Lower Mustang Trek aren't much. Therefore the cost could be differentiating, to say the least. Along with this the quality of the food, services, and accommodation also affects the final cost. The best way to find out is connect with Roving Nepal Trek as we will help you with the cost and guide you forward.

Is Lower Mustang Trek Hard?

No, the Lower Mustang Trek isn't hard at all. The maximum altitude we reach during the trek is 3800m which shouldn't be very hard at all. Meanwhile, some of the trekkers might feel slightly heavy-headed or also tired internally. All of this is a common factor. Anyone who has good physical fitness and can walk for 6 hours every day can do the trek. Lower Mustang trail isn't too bumpy and it is similar to a cakewalk. In case anyone feeling issues with the trekking will be handed well by the medical professional of Roving Nepal Trek. So there isn't much trekkers should be worried about at all.

Best Time To Do Lower Mustang Trek

Any trek you have been planning in the context of Nepal should be either in autumn or spring. During these seasons, the weather remains brilliant with clear skies. March to May are the months of spring while September to November are for autumn season. During the autumn season though, the festival vibe takes control and local people are even more welcoming. Warm days, cooler night, and slight haze during the trail, spring, and autumn provides brilliant opportunities for observation and mountain sighting. 

Alternative Treks to Lower Mustang Trek

Not all the guests will be interested in doing the Lower Mustang Trek. There might be some of the trekkers who would be interested in alternative treks. Don't worry we have some of the finest alternative treks which will help you explore the Mustang region and something more beautiful as well. Alternative trekking routes for Lower Mustang Trek include Upper Mustang Trek with Heli return, Mustang Tiji Festival Trek, and Upper Mustang Trek with drive back. You are free to choose any package as Roving Nepal Trek has all of them available.

Permits Required For Lower Mustang Trek

The major understanding is the fact that you need to have permits if you have plans to trek in Nepal. Concerning that Lower Mustang Trek also demands two of the major permits to complete the trek. The first one is the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit with the second one is the Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS) card. Both of these can be easily gained from the Nepal Tourism Board. However, if you have plans to book a package with Roving Nepal Trek we take care of every permit that will be required without our guests worrying too much about it.
