| When to visit?
|
|
|
The best time to visit is during spring and autumn. Unlike other parts of Nepal, even the monsoon are ideal to visit to upper Mustang that falls in the rain shadow area. Most trekking routes in the Annapurna region are well served by teahouses. Trekkers should, however, be careful while trekking to the more remote parts of the region.
