Saribung Climbing Routes in the Upper Mustang Region: A Journey Through Rugged Beauty

The Saribung Peak climbing route takes you on an unforgettable journey through the remote and enchanting landscapes of the Upper Mustang region. The expedition begins by following the classic Upper Mustang trekking route to Lo Manthang, a walled medieval town steeped in history and culture. Along the way, you will visit the mesmerizing Luri Gompa, an ancient cave monastery that offers a glimpse into the region rich spiritual heritage.

From Lo Manthang, the trail ventures into the wild and untamed Namta Khola Valley, where the true adventure begins. After successfully summiting Saribung Peak, the journey continues through the breathtaking Nar and Phu valleys, known for their rugged trails that hug cliff sides and pass through timeless villages. These valleys remain largely untouched by modernity, preserving centuries-old traditions and offering a rare window into the lives of the local people.
