Questions travellers ask
Is October a good time to visit Mustang & Dolpo?
October gives the clearest skies of the year and the busiest trails. Dashain and Tihar holidays bring Nepali and Indian pilgrims to Muktinath, so helicopters and Jomsom flights fill early. Upper Mustang is dry and cold at night, and the monasteries of Lo Manthang and Tsarang are open for visits. Lower Dolpo is still good in early October but cools sharply by the end of the month. Apple season in Marpha peaks, with stalls selling fruit, juice and brandy.
What is the weather like in Mustang & Dolpo in October?
Jomsom 5 to 18 °C, Lo Manthang −2 to 15 °C, dry, very clear. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
