Upper Mustang were breathtaking
My friends and I recently completed the Upper Mustang trek with Boundless Adventure, and the experience was truly unforgettable. From the moment I inquired about the trek to the end of the trip, the team handled everything perfectly and professionally. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, and well-versed in the history, culture, and geography of Upper Mustang.
The Upper Mustang region was breathtaking, and Boundless Adventure was amazing in customizing our itinerary to ensure we had plenty of time to explore the area. As there were five people in our group, the company gave us a group discount, which made their excellent service even more affordable. We are so thankful for their exceptional kindness and service at a reasonable cost.

Mustang trek last June
Last June, my girlfriend and I went on an Upper Mustang trek with the support of Boundless Adventure. Our journey began with a drive to Pokhara on the first day, followed by a flight to Jomsom the next day. Upon landing in Jomsom, our trekking journey began towards Kagbeni. The day was sunny, and the weather was pleasant.
Our guide and porter were friendly and ensured we didn’t feel rushed or bored. We walked for 3 hours from Jomsom to Kagbebi, passing through Ekle Bhatti and along the bank of the Kali Gandaki River. When we arrived at Kagbeni, we stayed overnight at a pleasant teahouse, which Boundless Adventure managed. From the first day of our walk to the end of our trip, our excitement never faded even 1%. We are grateful not only to the guide and porter but also to the entire team of Boundless Adventure.

I have been associated with Boundless Adventure for the past 15 years. They were the first ones to support me when I was contemplating an ideal trekking destination. Since then, I have always chosen Boundless Adventure for its paralleled support and guidance whenever I trek and explore the Himalayas of Nepal.
My friends and I recently went on an Upper Mustang trek through Boundless Adventure. Because we had a large group and a pre-existing relationship with the company, we secured a group discount and completed the trek at a reasonable price. I was already impressed with Boundless Adventures’ service. However, my friends were equally pleased with their hospitality and service. The itinerary was well-planned and customized to our preferences.
