Transport in the Upper Mustang has remained affected for past one month as mass of snow has covered the roadway. Snow has turned icy, thus making even the people's movement difficult.
The Upper Mustang locals, who had earlier observed the seasonal migration to avoid biting cold, have been unable to return to villages due to the adversity.
Lo Ghekar Damordarkund rural municipality's Chair Raju Bista informed that works to clear the road have been started. The Upper Mustang who had earlier come downhill to avert winter cold are waiting for favorable atmosphere to return homes.
Meanwhile, training of ski has begun on the mass of snow deposited at Muktinath of Baragung Muktichhetra rural municipality-1.
The training was initiated on the joint venture of Himalayan Ski Trek and Hotel Grand Shambala to address local's growing interest in it.
The opening day of the training was marked by the participation of government employees and bank and financial institutes with enthusiasm. Europe-based trainer Sanjiv Thapa, Ram Thapa of Himalayan Ski Trek and hotel proprietor Suraj Gurung are available there to guide ski learners during the weeklong session.
More, the training aims to send a message that Mustang is suitable for excursion during snowfall. It generally witnesses tourist arrivals only in summer.
