Useful Information
Which is the best time to go for the Upper Mustang Overland Tour?
If you want to go for any adventures or tours in Nepal, we encourage you to choose the autumn or spring seasons. During these seasons, the weather is very pleasant with clear skies, high vegetation, and easy to travel. Moreover, you can also meet several other people visiting the same place, which offers a beautiful opportunity to make new friends and travel buddies.
Also, the autumn and spring seasons are ideal for the Upper Mustang Overland tour because most of the tea houses, lodges, and guesthouses are open in this season. As this is a trip done by vehicle, the condition of the road also matters a lot.

Summer is not an ideal season to visit the upper Mustang Overland Tour because at an altitude above 4000 meters, there are high risks of altitude sickness due to dehydration and tiredness.
Therefore, we suggest travelers book the Overland Tour to Upper Mustang in the spring season (March to May) and autumn season (mid-September to November) for the best experience.
