Our fourth trip into Nepal’s Mustang region and second time in the Mustang Winter. This Himalayan kingdom is known for its fascinating culture, pristine vistas, and mysterious archaeological sites. We will take time to explore the sky caves, monasteries, and visit with locals during this quiet winter season. In the usual Spring and Autumn season, locals are busy with their planting and harvesting pastoral lifestyle. Winter allows time for visiting and learning more about their unique way of life and history. Join us.
