Best Time for Jeep Safari Tour to Upper Mustang

Tour to Upper Mustang is favorable in every season in Nepal. One can drive to the region during monsoon too. However, summer is the season of rain, and Upper Mustang receives less amount of rainfall. It is a semi-deserted area. The place lies in the shadow of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, which prevents Mustang from getting wet. Hence, Upper Mustang can be the best place to travel in Nepal during the summer, too.

Further, to minimize potential problems, the autumn and spring season is recommended for international tourists. These are the favorite seasons of every traveler that travels to Nepal. Weather and the climate of the Upper Mustang during autumn and spring are typical and offer obstructed mountain views.
