Indulge in a rejuvenating soak, allowing the warm waters to relax your muscles and refresh your body, mind, and spirit. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of travel, surrounded by the beauty of the Annapurna range.

As you drive through Lete, you’ll witness the majestic peaks of the Annapurna range towering over you, offering breathtaking photo opportunities. It’s a peaceful haven where you can immerse yourself in nature and embrace the serenity of the Himalayas.
Tukuche and Marpha, nestled in the heart of Nepal’s Mustang region, offer a blend of natural beauty and traditional village life. Famous for their apple orchards, these villages are renowned for producing some of the best apples in the country. Stroll through scenic landscapes where lush orchards stretch across the valleys, and traditional whitewashed houses dot the hillsides. The charm of these villages lies in their serene atmosphere, timeless architecture, and welcoming locals.

The Mustang Jeep Tour is accessible throughout the year, but the best times to embark on this journey are during March to May and September to November. These months offer ideal weather conditions with clear skies, moderate temperatures, and exceptional scenic beauty. The spring season (March to May) brings vibrant flowers, while the autumn season (September to November) provides crisp air and stunning mountain vistas. These are the optimal months to experience the full grandeur of the Annapurna and Mustang regions.
Throughout your journey, you’ll be treated to a delightful array of meals and accommodations. The Thakali cuisine, which is a staple in the region, offers a variety of mouthwatering dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.

As for accommodations, you’ll have the opportunity to stay in cozy lodges that offer warm hospitality and comfortable amenities. While the accommodation options vary along the route, all provide an authentic and peaceful environment to rest after a day of exploration.
