Trekkers or customers question about the Upper mustang trekking?
Dear  Nabaraj,
Very nice and great blog about the upper mustang trekking. we have just 15 days  for  Nepal and  upper mustang trekking. My girl friend and i like to come in May or Tiji festival there. could you provide us restriction permit and Guide. we  like to pay ourself not package?
Smith from Belgium

Dear smith,
Thanks for inquiry us about the upper mustang trekking. we are waiting with great hospitality and hurried to service you as well as we thought it is our great chances to get a opportunity to serve you.  For the mustang trekking permit as you know cost $500 per person for 10 days. Then you need a Annapurna conservation area permit cost Rs. 2000 NPR. To make such kind of the restriction permit  , needed a service charge if not package trekking. service charge cost $ 150 usd per person. Also i noticed you , minimum 2 perosn in a group for the upper mustang trekking.
   If you have no group, we try to find out the group by passing the mail other trekking agency via Trekking agent association of Nepal. for other   information about the permit issue of the upper mustang  in case one person trekking there, it will be expensive. you  need some other person passport , then have to pay their restriction fee  plus other extra service charges. if you have just 15 days time in Nepal, i suggest you go to pokhara by flight then flight to jomsom another days. It will take 1 or 2 official days two make the permit after you arrival in Nepal because immigration of Nepal ask the original passport to know the trekkers details.

Hello Nabaraj
It is nice blog about your Upper mustang trekking where i found many trekkers or your customer feed back and answers. Iam wonderful if it is possible to go upper mustang trekking without guide? I just want to take a special permit  and paying service charge for this. is it possible? probably i like to do travel in Nepal coming April or may.
Peter from  Australia.

Dear Peter,
Thanks for your question and inquiry about the upper mustang. First things to apply the upper mustang trekking we have to send the Guide name in immigration at the time of the apply the permit. Second things , every Check point of the Upper mustang trekking  have to signature for the entry and exist by the trekking guide and asking the Guide license. In one words, without guide, there is no allowed the trekkers in restriction areas. If in case this things find, trekking agency listed the black  list. so, it is very important , to take or hire a guide of this trekking area. Service charge of upper mustang trekking cost $200 per person and trekking guide cost $35 per day if you like to only permit from the agency. In this prices included the government tax, vat and no hidden other cost. But that is your choices tips of the guide. may be , you think why trekking agency take expensive or cheap service charge for the making the permit? Trekking agency have to pay the tax  and vat every restriction areas more than other normal trekking route.as you are already experience in Nepal trekking , probably you heard and read more about that. Any way keep and touch.

Best regards,
Nabaraj

My Experience at a glance  in Upper mustang trek Nepal
Hanging with local people , talking about the life style of upper mustang I amuse and fell happy in Lomanthang which is widely known as the mud wall city of Nepal. Popular travel analyzing ,researching  and advertising  sites  Lonely planet ,trip advisor etc. listed  Lomanthang ,top ten travel destination in Asia. One can feel encounter Tibet an kingdom inside the territory in Nepal. Every mountain is made of erosion mud seems all are Buddhist shrine and inhabitants cave of meditative enlightenment Lamas. Tibetan kingdom outside the Tibet inside the boundary of Nepal. Till 2008, Government of Nepal  regarded as the local king of upper mustang  even local people respected still formal mustang royal family as a King, Queen and prince. When we read history then we found from 13 century to 2008 over 25 dynasty there is a king system of local mustang. Later it know, so it is says hidden or forbidden kingdom in the world where Tibetan culture still survive without disturb. Where there are  sources of water we found there are village in upper mustang. It takes 4 days up and 3 days down  to kagbeni from upper mustang. People of upper mustang dynamic they winter migration to Kathmandu and pokhara for children school and business. Also they have traditional business in India , mainly woolen clothes they buy in Ludhiyana india and sell Vanarasi, Asam ,Dharmashala etc. In pokhara  Mustigains children study during winter season, they have a mobile school there.
It is amazing, This time facility jeep service from jomsom and kagbeni. From Beni I reached upper mustang just 2 days because of Jeep service in mustang. I pay 1500 for jeep from Chusang to Lomanthang. It take about 6 hours to  reach lomangtang from Chusang by jeep. From Jomsom to Chusang, jeep cost Rs. 365 NPR for Nepalese people. For  foreigner tourist  , it is double than Nepalese tourist. Cost of the jeep and bus are same ranges from Beni. I heard the recent news there will be direct bus from Pokhara to jomsom. Now  there are Networking bus committee from Beni to Ghasa, Ghasa to Jomsom, Jomsom to Chusang, Chusang to Lomanthang. It is cheper to go upper mustang by bus and jeep then plane  but bus takes long time  and because of  rough bus route no comfort as Plane. If you taka plane to jomsom from pokhara then ride a jeep to chusang  you can reach samar or chele in a single day. So,  Plane save a time then a bus and more easy and comfort.
I take rice curry for launch and dinner. Some time I enjoy local tea shop around the BAzzar areas of upper mustang lomanthang. I eat just dinner my staying Hotel shangrilla. Tourist menu also no expensive than Annapurna circuit and  Annapurna base camp trek. Dhat Bhat quality is little lower in upper mustang then other Annapurna trekking Nepal. Room I paid just Rs.300 NPR, normally it is  Rs 500 Rupees in mustang. Some time I enjoy the local wine made from the Buckwheat. It is Rs. 50 NPR per Glass local  wine in Upper mustang Lomanthang. In Kathmandu Tuborg Beer cost Rs. 300 NPR, it is amazing one can found Tubourg Beer in Lomanthang Rs. 350 NPR. It is very cheap to Nepalese  People to travel to upper mustang. Nepalese people have not pay the Timms card cost $20 usd, upper mustang trek permit $500 usd for 10 days, Annapurna conservation area  fee $20(Rs. 2000 NPR). Nepalese people enjoy the upper mustang , they have not pay $540 as foreign people. This money is enough for food, lodge and accommodation.
   I have just chance merely glance the upper mustang. Still I have thirst research that areas and like to Go Damodar kunda from upper mustang. Luri gaon, and Dhi gaon , Monastery  are remaining parts of mustang for me. Originally iam Guide but no been in upper mustang before this time. After finished this trip on September 25, 2015 , my happiness knew no bounds. I can book the upper mustang without organize package. Lets travel together there, I will guide you and share my experience it will be benefit for you  because without package I help to make a travel document , restriction permit of upper mustang trek Nepal. I have to learn still many things, I hope co-ordination to travel together to the Tibetan kingdom of lomanthang upper mustang helps our mission to upper mustang.

March spring to Auman November are the best season to travel upper mustang Nepal.
