Inquiry of the upper mustang trek



mary blasing <biralo10@gmail.com>

Namaste Naba,

We are a group of four who would like to trek in the upper mustang region in June.  We understand the restricted area fee of $500 that must be secured by guide agency but is it possible to hike without a guide? We have trekked ebc, langtang, Annapurna and many years ago rara lake without aid of guide or porter. We speak some basic Nepali and have always been able to ask directions and find local accommodations on our own.

If this is simply not possible could we hire someone to check us into entry points and that would be the extent of the help needed?

Thank you in advance , Mary


Dear Mary,
Thanks for the inquiry about the manaslu trekking. as you know it need
a license holder guide. but we manage you permit, Guide,
transpiration. Food  and accommodation you pay yourslef. how it will
be easy , cheap and best as far as possible we can manage. just you
hire a 7 days guide no problem, as you know entry and check out there
must be Guide. some time on the way up from kagbeni also checking.

        keep and touch
Best regards,

Hi Naba,

Do you know if there is still a trail that one can hike to jomson from pokhara or is it just  the road?
We were thinking of flying one way to Jomson then walking back.
Two of us arrive in kdu on June 10. The other two arrive on June 11. Could we get permits on June 12 then travel to pokhara on June 13?

The plan we we were thinking of is as follows:

June 14- flight from pokhara to jomson
June 15- walk from jomson to kagbeni
June 16- begin restricted area hike kagbeni-chele
June 17- chele to syangboche
June 18-syangboche-Ghemi
June 19-ghemi-tsarang-
June 20-tsarang-lo manthang
June 21-day in lo manthang
June 22-lo manthang-dhakmar
June 23- dhakmar-to ghiling
June 24-ghiling-samar
June 25-Samar to jomson
June 26- begin trek back to pokhara

Could you help us with guide? And flight from pokhara to jomson? We would hike in restricted area for ten days. We could meet guide in kagbeni?  How much would guide for ten days and flight cost? Do you have any recommendations for walking back to pokhara?

Namaste, mary
