Lower Mustang Horse Riding Tour Itinerary
Our 5-day Lower Mustang Horse Riding Tour begins in Pokhara with a picturesque flight to Jomsom. Typically, mountain flights are scheduled early in the morning when the weather is more stable, as flights are primarily conducted during this time. After 9 am, delays may occur due to wind conditions. Jomsom is known as the most windy valley in Nepal, nestled between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. In the event of a flight cancellation, you will need to wait for the next flight the following day or opt for a Jeep ride, which takes approximately 6-7 hours, as an alternative means of travel between Pokhara and Jomsom. During the flight, you will have the opportunity to see the Pokhara valley, its lakes, the lush green valleys, the mountains, and the arid landscapes of Jomsom and the Kali Gandaki Valley. Upon landing at Jomsom Airport, you will immediately notice the contrast, surrounded by arid hills and snow-capped peaks towering above, alongside the rushing waters of the Kali Gandaki River. After acquiring your horse, you will embark on your journey to Kagbeni, following the riverbed of the Kali Gandaki, where you can admire the red rock formations and breathtaking valley views. Once you arrive in Kagbeni, an ancient Tibetan village in Nepal, you will be immersed in its rich cultural heritage and historical significance. Take the time to visit the monastery and spend the night there. The next morning, you will ride your horse for 2-3 hours towards Muktinath, where you will have free time to explore the village, a place where Buddhism and Hinduism coexist, all while enjoying the stunning views of Dhaulagiri. Afterward, you will return to Jomsom via Lupra Village, which is renowned for its cultural and historical significance within the Bon tradition.
