Mustang Resort is located at a High Himalayan settlement of Thakali speaking people. At 8,800 ft. (2,800 m) the Resort is among the few places in Nepal where giant Himalayan peaks can be admired safely and yet at such close proximity. About 500 feet below the resort is the Kali Gandaki river which flows downstream to form the deepest gorge in the world (Guinness Book of World Records). The most breathtaking sight of all is right in front of the resort.
