Trip Overview

Until 1992, the Upper Mustang was a limited demilitarized area, making it one of the world’s most preserved regions, with a majority of the population still speaking traditional Tibetan. The relative isolation of the region from the outside world has preserved the Tibetan culture.

If you are interested in exploring Tibetan Buddhist culture in the hidden Upper Mustang valley, take the Upper Mustang Heli Tour and Trek, which provides a fast platform for you, and you don’t have to worry about your time limit. This is the quickest route to Upper Mustang, a sacred valley with cultural treasures.

Exploring ancient monasteries, chhortens, traditional houses, and local people’s cultural lifestyles can give you a new insight into the Upper Mustang scenario with a day trip by helicopter. It’s a wonderful alternative to the Upper Mustang Trek and we call it a Heli Trek as you walk around the Lo Manthang.

North of Kagbeni, generally known as upper Mustang, looks similar to the Tibetan plateau with its yellow and gray rolling hills eroded by violent winds. It lies beyond the Annapurna massif and bordered on three sides by Tibet lies the ancient Kingdom of Lo, better known as Mustang. In the local language, the name Mustang refers to the barren Tibet like region at the north end of the Kali Gandaki, which is known to its inhabitants as Lo. Upper Mustang is the last of the untouched and ageless lands in the Himalaya, and here you will find Lo-Manathang, the only walled city in Nepal. Mustang is probably a Nepalese mispronunciation of the name of the capital of Lo, the city of Manthang. We provide helicopter service with a most trusted helicopter company in Nepal - Air dynasty, Mountain, Shree, Altitude Air.
