Upper Mustang 7-Day 4WD Adventure from Kathmandu to Lo Manthang

You step out of the jeep into a wind that carries sand like memory, the horizon a hard line where brown plateau meets sky. The road has been a ribbon of dust, river gravel and carved switchbacks; ahead, the whitewashed walls of Lo Manthang rise against ridgelines, squat and purposeful. This is Upper Mustang — a high, arid pocket of Tibetan culture framed by Annapurna and Nilgiri.
