Questions travellers ask
Is March a good time to visit Mustang & Dolpo?
March opens the season. Days warm quickly, the apricot and apple trees of Marpha and Kagbeni flower late in the month and pilgrim traffic to Muktinath builds. Lodges in Upper Mustang reopen as families return, so the first treks and jeep tours to Lo Manthang start in mid to late March, still with frosty nights. Wind in the Kali Gandaki is strong every afternoon, so walking and driving are best before noon. Dolpo is still too cold for most trekkers.
What is the weather like in Mustang & Dolpo in March?
Jomsom 1 to 15 °C, Lo Manthang −6 to 11 °C, dry, strong afternoon wind. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
