MT Sobek Camp—Mustang

While on trek we will be camping in very comfortable and sturdy Mountain Hardware three man tents. Though they are designed to accommodate three people we will not put more than two in a tent. There is a vestibule at the front of the tent where you can store your hiking boots and trekking poles. We also provide a 6 foot 1 inch long and 2 feet 1 inch wide, fabric covered foam sleeping pad. We will also set up a toilet tent with toilet seat in each of our camps.

The inn's restaurant serves fresh Tibetan bread and homemade soups, and there are plenty of charming areas to lounge in (Wi-Fi is available in the lobby).
