Off Road Jeep Safari - Upper Mustang

This Off Road Jeep Safari in the Hidden Kingdom of Upper Mustang is specially designed to those travellers who love adventure but can't do long trekking. Besides that this Jeep safari saves a time as well. Mustang is one of the mystical areas of Nepal. It is a place with isolate landscapes and lavishly adorned monasteries; great rivers and fields created through the painstaking labor of humans over time, with the highland that extends endlessly northward, and the immaculate while peaks of Annapurna and Nilgiri. Still presided over by its hereditary dynasty, this unique kingdom within a country has Tibetan Buddhist monasteries that pre date many monasteries within Tibet, and a well preserved Tibetan Buddhism that has thrived with little influence from the Chinese to their north or the Nepalese to their south. In fact, many say that there is more of Tibet in Mustang than there is in today's Tibet.
