Go by jeep! Jomsom (Mustang)

The Jomsom Highway is an unpaved, rough road, but it is accessible by vehicle. While traveling by jeep can be challenging, it is a reliable option compared to the unpredictability of domestic flights. We offer this course as a ‘trekking experience without extensive walking.’

This course is ideal for those who want to get close to the mountains, enjoy Tibetan-style scenery, and undertake a trek even if they have limited physical strength.

We plan to stay at Tasan Village, managed by Japanese operators. Compared to other lodges, it offers a more comfortable and less tiring experience.

Example Itinerary

Additional information about the itinerary

1. A minimum of 2 nights and 3 days is required, but if you can add an extra day, you can enjoy it even more. If you add an extra day, we can guide you to a course that takes you close to the lakes and glaciers around Naulikot.
2. The tour will generally only be held during the dry season (October to May), as there are dangers associated with landslides and flash floods occurring in various locations during the rainy season (June to September), and snowfall and accumulation in the winter (late December to late February) can make roads slippery and pose the risk of falling off cliffs.
3. The number of days you need to stay in Nepal is the number of days for trekking plus 3 nights and 4 days. However, the way you plan your trip will change depending on the international flight you use to get to Nepal, so please contact us for more information.
4. From March to April, you can enjoy the view of the rhododendron, the national flower of Nepal, blooming all over the mountain. 
5. From mid- to late November, you can see Himalayan cherry blossoms, which are said to be the origins of Japanese cherry blossoms, in full bloom in various places. And beyond them are the Himalayas. It’s a view that Japanese people can’t resist.

Minimum number of participants

From 1 person.

We do not offer shared tours with other customers, so you can walk at your own pace.

Drinking water in this area

The sale of mineral water is restricted in this area, and it is not sold beyond New Bridge/Tilkedhunga. The only water you can buy is not mineral water, but plain water (spring water or river water that has been boiled and cooled) or water that has been filtered through a special filter. Both are sold in 1 liter plastic bottles, just like mineral water.

They are sold at almost every lodge and rest stop during the trek, but if you are unsure, you can always buy chlorine or bromine tablets.

We recommend that you prepare the tablets beforehand. (We do not provide tablets.)
