    By far the best-organized tour I've ever been on. It was an amazing adventure with so many once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Our tour guide Pasang, Furinji Sherpa and Porter's Dorje Kalu, Tshring helped us along the way to ensure our trip was inconvenience free. I would highly recommend using Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team!

    “Mustang area is unique and has a awesome mix of landscapes. Tibetan culture was kept in its purest form with the ancient palaces, gompas and the villages. The trekking permit has kept the region rather exclusive and original.”

    We did Upper Mustang Trek with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking in June 2019. It was a great experience. The flights couldn't happen due to bad weather so we took a private jeep which was an adventure. The trek was arranged nicely and the staffs were very caring. Our guide and porter made the trek possible. It is a beautiful trek I can recommend to other people in rainy season in Nepal. In general, when we reach high, there was no rain.”

    The trek we did on april 2019 in upper mustang was amazing, beautiful landscapes and nature and wonderfull people. Ram Barakoti and his team were excellent in guiding us trough the ten days of trek and organising all the logistic aspects of our voyage. This hidden corner of Nepal definitely deserves to be visited and Sherpa Expedition and Trekking in Mustang is the best choice you can make!

    Asked on April 19th, 2022

    Is the special permit fee of US$50 per day included in the quoted trek cost?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Sherpa Expedition & Trekking Pvt. Ltd.OperatorWritten April 2022

      Yes, the permit fee is USD 50 per day. The permit entry point is Kagbrni and ending also Kagbeni. Please note that to enter Upper Mustang, and to obtain the permit to do so, there must be a group of at least two (2) trekkers. However, if you are alone and determined to go but cannot find another person or group who are travelling at the same time, a ghost RAP permit can be issued in another name. For this, the solo trekker will have to pay an additional $500, thus, $1,000 in total. This is the only way to enter the forbidden kingdom alone (with a guide of course!).

    • T

      Tracy

      TravelerWritten April 2022

      There will be two of us. Do we pay the Us$50 per day per person seperate from the quoted tour cost?

    • Sherpa Expedition & Trekking Pvt. Ltd.OperatorWritten April 2022

      If there are two people no need to pay extra all permit is included in your package. There is no extra cost for a permit.

      You need to have the PCR Negative Coronavirus report and vaccine certificate along with you to enter Kathmandu. So that you can enter in Nepal. There is no quarantine.
