Do flights operate between Pokhara and Jomsom in July, during the monsoon?

Asked by: Jon

I understand there are no flights between Pokhara and Jomsom during July because of the monsoon season. Is this correct, and what does it mean for a July trip to Mustang?

You're right: airlines generally suspend flights to and from Jomsom during that time of year due to the monsoon conditions. As a result, travelling to and from Jomsom by road would add approximately two additional days to the overall itinerary.

It's also worth being mindful of landslides during the monsoon. The road between Pokhara and Jomsom can occasionally be disrupted or closed by landslides, which is an important factor to consider when planning a July departure.
