Questions travellers ask
Is September a good time to visit Mustang & Dolpo?
September starts the main autumn season as the monsoon fades from the south. Upper Mustang's barley harvest is under way, and the light over the red cliffs of Ghami and Dhakmar is warm and clear. Dolpo is at its best, with stable weather on Numa La and Baga La. Muktinath traffic rises after Pitru Paksha, and families perform shraddha at Kagbeni during the fortnight. Late-month flights become far more reliable.
What is the weather like in Mustang & Dolpo in September?
Jomsom 10 to 20 °C, Lo Manthang 3 to 18 °C, drying, clearer late. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
