Hiking and walking holidays listed under Kathmandu give you a route into some of the most remote and distinctive country in the Nepal Himalaya. Both programmes on this page are run by Kathmandu-based iFly Nepal, and both head into the rain-shadow regions that lie beyond the main Himalayan range, where the landscape turns high, dry and strikingly different from the greener valleys further south. These are long, multi-day treks rather than short walking breaks, so they suit you if you want to spend weeks on foot and take your time in a place few travellers reach. The Upper Mustang Trek to Lo Manthang is a 15-day journey into what is often called Nepal's hidden kingdom. It follows the Kali Gandaki valley north into a wind-carved desert of red cliffs, whitewashed villages and centuries-old monasteries, in the rain shadow north of the Annapurna range. The Upper Dolpo Expedition Trek is the longer and more remote of the two, a 25-day expedition that crosses Upper Dolpo on a full loop from Juphal. You will travel over high passes and past ancient monasteries and traditional villages with deep Tibetan roots, in one of the most remote corners of the Nepal Himalaya. Prices on this page start from 5000 USD for the Upper Mustang trek and from 8000 USD for the Upper Dolpo expedition, so you can choose between a shorter route into Mustang's desert scenery or a longer, more committing loop through Dolpo.
The programmes on this page start from 5000 USD and go up to 8000 USD. The 15-day Upper Mustang Trek to Lo Manthang is from 5000 USD, and the 25-day Upper Dolpo Expedition Trek is from 8000 USD.
Both are extended treks. The Upper Mustang Trek to Lo Manthang runs for 15 days, while the Upper Dolpo Expedition Trek is a longer 25-day expedition.
Both head into rain-shadow regions of the Nepal Himalaya. The Upper Mustang trek follows the Kali Gandaki valley north towards Lo Manthang, in the area north of the Annapurna range. The Upper Dolpo trek crosses Upper Dolpo on a full loop from Juphal.
Both programmes on this page are run by iFly Nepal, a trekking operator based in Kathmandu.
Upper Mustang is a high, wind-carved desert in the rain shadow north of the Annapurna range. Along the way you will see red cliffs, whitewashed villages and centuries-old monasteries as you head north towards Lo Manthang.
Upper Dolpo is one of the most remote corners of the Nepal Himalaya, and this is the longer of the two programmes at 25 days. The route crosses high passes and takes in ancient monasteries and traditional villages with deep Tibetan roots, on a full loop that starts from Juphal.
If you would like a shorter trip, the 15-day Upper Mustang trek from 5000 USD takes you into Mustang's desert scenery and on to Lo Manthang. If you want a longer, more remote expedition, the 25-day Upper Dolpo loop from 8000 USD crosses high passes through one of the most isolated parts of the Nepal Himalaya.
