Mustang exploration by jeep
I came to Nepal without any plans to take a break from my hectic life and spend quality time with my wife. Although we had little time, my wife wanted to visit a peaceful place and wasn’t up for trekking activities. At the suggestion of a friend, I met Mr. Dambar Khadka and shared my preferences with him.
Mr. Dambar recommended an Upper Mustang Jeep tour to my wife and me, and we decided to go for it. Initially planned for nine days, we requested to shorten the tour to seven days with a focus on full exploration by Jeep. Despite the shorter timeframe, we had an amazing time in the Upper Mustang and immersed ourselves in the locals’ unique culture and warm hospitality. Boundless Adventure provided excellent logistic services, and we greatly appreciate their efforts in ensuring our safety throughout the trip.

Once we arrived in Nepal, the team at Boundless Adventure greeted us warmly by presenting a garland. We were delighted by their gracious hospitality.
