# Lower Mustang

Lower Mustang is a dry Himalayan valley trip best planned around two travel days and time in the villages. Jomsom is a transport base, while Marpha works well for a slower stay.

**Best time to visit**

Spring and autumn are starting points for planning. Confirm weather and road access close to departure, including conditions along the approach from Pokhara.

**How to get there**

Travel from Pokhara by road or check current flight service to Jomsom. Keep a buffer before onward flights and confirm any route-specific permit requirements in advance.

**What to do**

- Walk the lanes of Marpha
- Visit Kagbeni and spend time by the valley
- Consider Muktinath if conditions, transport and your group’s readiness allow

**Where to stay**

Stay in Jomsom for transport convenience or Marpha for village time. Confirm heating, meals and how to reach your stay from the road.

**Local tips**

Allow time to adjust to elevation. Check restricted-area boundaries and requirements before going farther north.
