Trip Introduction

Experience standing on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, its untouched century-old socio-cultural practices, historically rich archeological sites, and magnificent landscapes throughout the rain shadow region in the 4WD Jeep Mustang Overland Tour. Sherpa Himalaya designs a special package as an alternative to Trekking to include all kinds of travelers to the isolated and pristine land of Mustang, all in a short period of time.

The fun-filled and full of adventure safari trip commences from the beautiful city of Pokhara. Moving through the winding roads we reach Beni, from where the off-road starts. Kicking the dust through the off-road the cruiser goes along the barren George, magnificent cliffs, and various passes. Mustang Overland Tour starts with a ride through the Kaligandaki George; the world’s deepest, with the majestic Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Massifs in the background. The fascinating Jeep tour ultimately takes you to Lo-Manthang. You will have enough time to explore the diverse culture and topography of the Upper Mustang. And travel back through the same route.
