What are the best months to avoid monsoon? We know the monsoon can delay flights by several days and we don't have this margin unfortunately.

The best time for Upper Mustang is March to May and September to December. Monsoon in Nepal is from June to August, however, this trek can be done in monsoon since this is a rain shadow area.

  Traveler•Written February 2023
  Is it paved all the way to Lo Manthang? What will be the status of the road in September? Any idea how many cars are passing every day? How much of the road are we going to walk and cross?
- Nepal Social TreksOperator•Written February 2023
  1) Road is not paved, it's off road. 2) Road will be operational but not in good condition due to monsoon. 3) There will be local jeep and trucks only. 4) We try to avoid road as much as possible and you will be walking on road around 15%.
