Join me and Tony Wheeler, co-founder of Lonely Planet, on a bespoke trip to the fascinating Kingdom of Mustang,
in Nepal’s far north, with World Expeditions.

As well as experiencing the unique culture and landscapes of this remote region the trip has been initiated to raise
funds for the Australian Himalayan Foundation’s programs in Nepal, Bhutan, and the Indian Himalaya. Consequently,
a donation is required from all participants, however although we are recommending a donation of AUD2,000 per
person, the amount is discretionary and is fully tax deductible.

The trip is timed around the important and colourful Yartung Festival featuring processions, horse racing, drinking, dancing,
and prayer. Before and after the festival we will visit villages, monasteries, and a nomad camp, all set amid dramatic
landscapes on an arid plateau known as the Plain of Aspiration!

This is a touring trip that will see us travel to Upper Mustang by plane and 4x4 jeeps. First, we fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara
in central Nepal, then drive on the recently completed road that runs parallel to the Annapurna Range, so expect some
rugged sections, but this is well and truly made up for by the magnificent Himalayan scenery. On the return leg we will drive
to Jomson in Lower Mustang and then take two spectacular flights from Jomson to Pokhara, flying parallel to the Annapurna
Range, and then onto Kathmandu, flying parallel to the main Himalaya Range.
