Travel story
Visit Upper Mustang, a hidden region of Nepal, and the "Kingdom of the Sky" Lo Manthang, which was once off-limits to foreigners.
This special guided tour of Nepal with a Japanese-speaking guide takes you to historic villages such as Muktinath Temple, Chhosar Cave, and Kagbeni, allowing you to experience the Himalayas' breathtaking scenery and Tibetan culture.
Signature points
To the remote Upper Mustang visited only by permitted travelers
Upper Mustang, a restricted area in northern Nepal, is a special region accessible only to a limited number of travelers.
Explore Lo Manthang, which once flourished as an independent kingdom, and villages steeped in Tibetan culture, experiencing unique landscapes and history you won’t encounter on a typical trip to Nepal.
An inspiring journey through the ancient sky city Lo Manthang and its mystical caves and sacred sites
Visit renowned sites where history and faith live on, including Muktinath Temple, Kagbeni, Lo Manthang, and Chhosar Cave.
A Japanese-speaking guide will clearly introduce you to the mystical scenery and the charms of Tibetan culture, from monasteries and palaces that have stood for centuries to sky caves built on cliffs.
A panoramic road through the Himalayas — a circuit tour to savor nature and culture
From Pokhara through the Kali Gandaki Valley, the highlight of the trip is a scenic drive past colorful cliffs, snow-capped Himalayas, and stone-built villages.
While viewing majestic peaks such as Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri, this special circuit plan lets you leisurely explore one of Nepal’s most outstanding remote regions.
