Upper Mustang MTB Tours: Ride Through the Forbidden Kingdom

Embark on an extraordinary mountain biking expedition through Upper Mustang, a remote and culturally rich region once known as the Forbidden Kingdom of Lo. This high-altitude adventure takes you deep into the heart of the Himalayan desert, where towering red cliffs, eroded canyons, and ancient cave dwellings create a surreal landscape unlike anywhere else in Nepal.

Starting from Kagbeni, the journey follows rugged singletracks and winding trails through traditional Tibetan villages, centuries-old monasteries, and windswept plateaus, offering a rare opportunity to experience the region’s deep spiritual and historical significance. Riders will traverse high ridges and river valleys, tackling thrilling descents and challenging climbs, all while soaking in panoramic views of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Annapurna.

The highlight of the tour is reaching Lo Manthang, the walled capital of Mustang. Here, explore ancient palaces, interact with Loba communities, and witness a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries. Along the way, experience authentic Mustang hospitality, with overnight stays in local tea houses, where riders can enjoy warm meals and immerse themselves in the region’s rich culture.

With its unique mix of technical trails, breathtaking landscapes, and cultural immersion, an Upper Mustang MTB tour is a dream ride for adventurous cyclists seeking an unparalleled Himalayan experience.
