Best Time for Upper Mustang Trek

Weather and climatic conditions are the primary factors that affect trekking in Nepal and Upper Mustang Trek. The country’s topography is unevenly distributed, resulting in varying weather and climate conditions. The optimal time to trek in Nepal varies depending on several factors, such as personal preference and the trek’s location.

Upper Mustang Trek is best visited during the spring season, which typically runs from late March to May. During this time, temperatures range from 14 to 20 degrees Celsius, making it neither too hot nor too cold. The weather is warm, and the rivers are full due to snowmelt in the lower regions. Spring is also the best time to cross passes like Thorong La pass.

Additionally, Upper Mustang is famous for the Tiji festival, which takes place in May in Lo Manthang. The local culture in Nepal’s ancient walled city is unique, and the clear skies provide stunning views of snow-capped mountains.

Summer is also an excellent time to visit Upper Mustang, despite the monsoon rain in Nepal, which can make trekking difficult in other areas. However, Mustang is located beyond the Annapurna Himalayan Region, making it a rain shadow area, resulting in dry weather even during the monsoon season because of this summer is best time to trek to Upper Mustang. This results in excellent weather and a great landscape, with clear skies and stunning mountain views. During summer, temperatures range from 13 to 20 degrees Celsius.

Autumn is another ideal season to visit Upper Mustang, with clear skies and amazing views of the landscape and mountains. This season occurs from mid-September to late November, after the monsoon season. It is also a time full of Nepalese festivals, traditional and cultural programs, making it a unique and exciting time to trek in Upper Mustang.

Winter is not the best season to visit Upper Mustang, as temperatures can drop to as low as -25 degrees Celsius, resulting in heavy snowfall in the region. The winter season runs from December to February. As a result, people from Upper Mustang migrate to lower regions such as Pokhara or Kathmandu. However, it is still possible to trek to Lower Mustang during the winter season by wearing warm clothes and taking proper care.

Acclimatization in Upper Mustang Trek 

Nepal is a small country filled with towering hills and mountains, resulting in uneven geographical conditions. With altitudes ranging from 60 to 8849 meters, the climate and weather vary greatly. Our Upper Mustang Trek involves trekking through altitudes ranging from 1000m to 4000m above sea level, which may cause common colds or coughing, but these are not serious health issues.

However, as our trek takes us above 3000 meters, there is a risk of altitude sickness, especially for those who have never been at such high elevations before. To combat this, our highly experienced team is well-equipped and trained to assist trekkers.

We strongly advise our guests to consume plenty of fluids, including water, hot soup, and tea, to help prevent altitude sickness. We also employ a gradual approach to ascending to higher elevations, allowing sufficient time for the trekkers’ bodies to adjust to the changing environment. It is essential to rest frequently and avoid overexertion during hikes or climbs, to allow the body to acclimatize properly.

Even physically fit individuals may be susceptible to altitude sickness, which is why we ascend slowly, typically 300 to 1000 meters per day, to ensure proper rest. Our company prioritizes providing the best service while taking care of our guests. The well-being of our guests is our utmost concern, and we guarantee that our seasoned team will do everything possible to ensure a safe and unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Trekking Difficulties in Upper Mustang Trek

The Upper Mustang Trek is classified as moderate level trek, taking into account factors such as altitude, weather and climate, topography, and season. The difficulty level also depends on the physical fitness of the trekkers.

With an altitude ranging from 1,500 to 3,800 meters above sea level, the Upper Mustang region poses a challenge to those who haven’t experienced higher altitudes. As a rain shadow area beyond the Annapurna Himalayan range, Mustang’s weather is clear but dry, earning it the nickname “the desert of Nepal.” The region receives very little rainfall throughout the year, resulting in a dry climate.

However, due to the higher altitude, the amount of oxygen is lower, and atmospheric pressure is significantly less compared to sea level, which can cause some issues and raise the difficulty level from easy to moderate.

The topography of Mustang is uneven, with some areas being high, others low, some stony, and others dusty. This uneven land topography makes the path narrow in some places and wide in others, with some sections uphill and others downhill. These factors can also pose a challenge to the fitness of trekkers.

The Upper Mustang region is dry throughout the year, except during winter when heavy snowfall makes the trek impossible. In all other seasons, the trail is doable and has a low chance of rain, making it less slippery. The trail is well-maintained and not very steep, making it suitable for individuals, children, elderly people, families, and colleagues.

In conclusion, the Upper Mustang Trek is rated as easy to moderate due to the well-maintained trail, low chance of rain, and manageable terrain. This trek is suitable for all age groups and types of groups like individual, family, colleague etc. making it a popular choice for those looking for an unforgettable experience.

Upper Mustang Trekking Permit

In Nepal, trekking is a popular activity that is carried out throughout the country. However, there are some areas that are restricted in order to preserve and conserve nature, flora and fauna, historical and cultural heritage, and other important aspects. For instance, places like the Annapurna Conservation Area, Chitwan National Park, wildlife reserves, and Upper Mustang are restricted and require an entry permit from the Nepalese government, which typically costs around $25.

For those planning to trek to Upper Mustang, there are three different types of permits required. Firstly, anyone trekking in Nepal needs a Trekker’s Information Management System (TIMS) card, which can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu or Pokhara. The TIMS card is compulsory and must be obtained before beginning the trek.

Secondly, the trail to Upper Mustang passes through the Annapurna Conservation Area, so trekkers must also obtain an Annapurna Conservation Area entry permit (ACAP). The ACAP can also be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu or Pokhara, and the permit fee is approximately 3000 NRP. A photograph is required for the application.

Finally, the most important and compulsory permit for trekking to Upper Mustang is the Restricted Area Permit (RAP). Those trekking to Upper Mustang must obtain the RAP, which costs $500 per person for at least 10 days. If the trek is longer than 10 days, an additional fee of $50 per person per day is charged. The trek must be done in a group of at least two people, and individuals cannot trek to Upper Mustang or Lo Manthang. The RAP can only be obtained by a registered trekking company from the government, and neither trekkers nor guides can obtain it themselves.

In summary, while trekking in Nepal is a popular activity, it is important to obtain the necessary permits to ensure the preservation and conservation of the natural, historical, and cultural heritage of the country.

Electricity and Communication on Upper Mustang Trek 

Electricity and internet access will be available 24/7 in urban areas. However, during treks, there may be instances of power outages in some village areas. Even in tea houses or lodges where you choose to stay, there may be additional charges for utilizing electricity or internet services due to the busy route or rural location. Please note that during the trek, access to electricity or internet will not be available. Therefore, it is advised to charge your electronic devices in the tea houses or lodges where you will be lodging.

ATM and Currency Exchange

Nepal’s bustling urban hubs, namely Kathmandu and Pokhara, offer a plethora of convenient ATM and money exchange services that facilitate the acquisition of Nepalese currency for travelers. However, such amenities may not be readily available in rural areas, where only Nepalese currency is accepted, and modern banking infrastructure may be scarce.

To circumvent any potential inconveniences, it is strongly advised that travelers plan in advance and exchange foreign currency for Nepalese currency before embarking on a trek. This will ensure that adequate local currency is readily available to purchase essentials such as food, water, and other necessary supplies during the trek. Seeking guidance from local currency exchange services in Kathmandu or Pokhara can also help expedite the process and minimize any undue stress.

Tipping is typically offered on the final day of the trek, although trekkers may choose to tip hotel staff, lodge employees, or other individuals at any time during their trip. When deciding on the amount to tip, it is essential to consider the quality of the service provided, the duration of the service, and the level of personal satisfaction.

While tipping is a common practice in Nepal, it is not obligatory, and trekkers should not feel pressured to tip if they are not satisfied with the services received.
