Mustang trekking suspended over adverse weather warning

Officials in Mustang have urged travellers and residents to refrain from undertaking treks in high-altitude terrain for a duration of three days. The advisory was jointly issued by the District Administration Office and the Lomanthang rural municipality in response to forecasts warning of worsening meteorological conditions across the region. The suspension period covers Kartik 12 to 14, during which outdoor movement in elevated mountain areas is discouraged. According to the administrative notices, most areas within Gandaki province are expected to experience severe atmospheric disturbances, including thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and heavy winds. Authorities have emphasised the need for caution during this timeframe to prevent potential incidents related to the inclement weather. Residents and visitors planning journeys through elevated paths have been asked to stay updated and postpone their itineraries until conditions improve. The joint directive applies specifically to elevated geographic zones where rapid meteorological changes pose risks to travellers. Regional administrative bodies continue to monitor the evolving weather patterns closely while maintaining the advisory throughout the stipulated three-day window.
