# Lower Mustang from Pokhara: A Four-Day Itinerary

> Plan four days from Pokhara to Lower Mustang around Jomsom, Marpha, Kagbeni and an optional Muktinath visit.

Four days from Pokhara gives you two transfer days and two days to explore Lower Mustang if conditions cooperate. Base yourself around Jomsom or Marpha and keep Muktinath optional. Add a spare day in Pokhara before an onward connection if your schedule allows.
Day 1. Pokhara to Jomsom or Marpha
Confirm road or flight conditions before departure. If you arrive late, settle in and keep the evening short. Book a room you’ll be comfortable in if wind or a transport delay leaves you with a quiet afternoon.
Day 2. Marpha and the valley
Spend the morning walking Marpha’s lanes and stop for an apple product if you find one you want to try. Leave the rest of the day flexible so you can adjust to the altitude and wind. If you’re staying in Jomsom, confirm how you’ll get back before leaving.
Day 3. Kagbeni and optional Muktinath
Give Kagbeni time on its own. If your group is feeling well, transport is confirmed and conditions are suitable, consider continuing to Muktinath. It is higher than Jomsom, so keep the temple visit optional. Ask locally where restricted-area rules apply if you plan to travel farther north.
Day 4. Return to Pokhara
Allow the full day for travel. Check current permit and access requirements for your route with the relevant authorities or a registered local operator before leaving Pokhara. Keep your evening free until you know the return is on track.
