Rain damage hits Mustang as tourism and harvest season begins

Landslides and river erosion have disrupted the main road, while power and internet outages are hitting tourism, apple farmers and local trade.

Mustang should be entering one of its busiest periods of the year. Pilgrims normally travel to Kagbeni during the annual ancestor rites, domestic tourists head north for the festival holidays, and foreign trekkers crossing the Thorong La pass descend into the district.
