Trip Overview
The Upper Mustang jeep ride provides an alternative way to explore the remote region of Mustang while enjoying the convenience of a four-wheel drive vehicle. Here are some key points about the Upper Mustang jeep ride:
Accessibility: The jeep ride allows you to reach Upper Mustang more quickly and with less physical exertion compared to trekking. It is particularly suitable for those who may have time constraints or prefer not to engage in a long trekking journey.
Scenic Drive: The jeep ride from Jomsom to Upper Mustang offers stunning landscapes along the way. You’ll drive through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the deepest gorge in the world, surrounded by towering peaks such as Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri. The rugged and arid terrain, colorful cliffs, and unique rock formations add to the scenic beauty of the journey.
Cultural Exploration: While you may miss out on the up-close village interactions that trekking provides, the jeep ride still offers the opportunity to explore the ancient walled city of Lo Manthang and other significant monasteries in Upper Mustang. You’ll have time to immerse yourself in the distinct Tibetan-influenced culture, visit local temples, and interact with the friendly locals.
Comfort and Convenience: Jeep rides to Upper Mustang provide a comfortable and relatively smoother journey compared to trekking. You’ll travel in a sturdy four-wheel drive vehicle, which is better equipped to handle the rough roads and challenging terrains of the region. You’ll have a driver who will navigate the mountainous roads, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenic views.
Flexibility: Jeep rides offer flexibility in terms of itinerary and schedule. You can customize your journey according to your preferences and interests. Whether you want to spend more time exploring specific sites, taking photographs, or simply enjoying the landscape, the jeep ride allows for more flexibility compared to a fixed trekking itinerary.
It’s important to note that a special permit is still required to enter Upper Mustang, regardless of whether you choose to trek or opt for a jeep ride. The permits can be obtained through a licensed trekking agency. Additionally, road conditions in Upper Mustang can vary, especially during the monsoon season, so it’s advisable to plan your trip during the dry seasons (spring and autumn) for a more comfortable and reliable journey.
The Upper Mustang jeep ride offers a different perspective and experience of the region, combining convenience, comfort, and the chance to explore the unique cultural heritage of Mustang.

Great Trek to ABC
I completed the Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill trek with my partner through Peaceful Nepal in May 2026 and had an amazing time! Bishnu was an amazing guide throughout the experience, organising everything and answering all our questions. He was able to change our itinerary on the trek to suit our walking pace and the conditions each day. Bishnu handled all the logistics throughout the trip, including airport pickup, transfers to Pokhara and our bus to Chitwan after, and accomodation. All accomodation we stayed at was pleasant and clean. The trek itself was also amazing! Would definitely recommend both ABC and Peaceful Nepal.

Excellent ABC experience
I have just completed the Annapurna Base Camp trek and would like to sincerely thank my guide, Som Giri, and my porter, Nepal Giri, for making this 6-day journey such a wonderful and memorable experience.Som Giri was an excellent guide — highly professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring throughout the trek. He always paid close attention to my pace, health, and comfort, and shared valuable insights about the mountains, local culture, and daily trekking routes. His calm attitude and experience gave me great confidence and peace of mind every day.Nepal Giri was equally outstanding. He was strong, reliable, and always smiling, even on the most challenging sections of the trail. His support and positive energy truly made a big difference, and I felt well taken care of during the entire journey.Both Som Giri and Nepal Giri went above and beyond their duties, showing genuine care, teamwork, and professionalism. I really appreciated having fruit every day, which made a big difference…

Langtang Trek
I had an unforgettable 7-day trek through the Langtang Valley, climbing all the way up to Tserko Ri at 4,985 meters. Really enjoyed the snow-capped mountains, lush green forests, countless waterfalls and incredible wildlife (if you’re lucky you might spot a rare red panda) throughout the trek. Huge thanks to my guide Bishnu from Peaceful Nepal Treks and Tours. His deep knowledge of every trail, wildflowers and wildlife along the way made this adventure truly special.
My partner and I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Peaceful Treks and it was an amazing experience!! Bishnu was great to plan with, accomodating our requests for an extra day in Kathmandu at the start and always replying to any requests we had promptly.When we started hiking Bishnu was flexible with the itinerary to allow us to go at the pace we wanted to walk. He always checked in and had some fun facts about Annapurna and Nepal in general and it was great getting to know him.Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Peaceful Treks.Also Bishnu made sure to grab some pics and sent them to us after, see attached :)

18 days Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit combined trek!
Namaste!I did a 18 days trekking tour covering the Manaslu and Annapurna circuit combined with peaceful Nepal trek and it was absolute perfection.Started with the planning phase where email and what's app inquiries were answered immediately and the itinerary was planned together and agreed upon.The trek was long and hard but this team made it bearable by always finding good accomodations (95% of my room has electric socket to charge my electronics , attached toilet which is a huge advantage and good food).The guide also brought along medical kit (which many company doesnt) and often was being asked to share medical supplies/medicine to others.Bonus is the guide love to take pictures and videos along the way so you can get nice documentation too even when you are too lazy to get your camera/phone out.Main highlights on this trip :1. Manaslu basecamp : not too many people come here for "rest day" but we made it. It was HARD but i am glad we did it. One of the best experiences on this tr…
