Mustang. Due to climate change, the Himalayan district of Mustang, which has not received good snow for three consecutive years, has received snow this year. It has been snowing steadily since this morning. Often, the snow that should fall at the end of November has already fallen in October. The people of Mustang had not seen heavy snowfall for a few years. Because of this, there was a negative impact on agriculture, tourism and biodiversity here. This year, snowfall has occurred at an altitude of three thousand meters above sea level. It is snowing in Muktinath and upper Mustang and above Basti and Uchalek.

Waragung Mukti Kshetra-3 is continuously raining in the settlements in the lower area from Chusang, while it is snowing in the upper reaches of the settlements.
