MUSTANG: Heavy snowfall since early morning has disrupted traffic on the Charang–Lomanthang road, officials said.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Chiring Kippa Lama informed that the five-kilometer stretch from Thurlungphaant, where the Nepal Army barracks are located, to Lomanthang has become difficult to navigate due to snow accumulation.
“Snow has piled up to eight inches on the Charang–Lomanthang road, making movement challenging,” Lama said.
On Tuesday, security personnel at the Armed Police Force Border Outpost in Nechung, Lomanthang-2, cleared snow on the Chhoser–Korala road.
Similarly, the Kagbeni–Muktinath road, which was also affected by snowfall, remains open. Continuous snowfall throughout Tuesday covered hills from Upper Mustang to Lower Mustang in white.
Heavy snow was reported from Ghami to Korala in Upper Mustang and in the Muktinath area, affecting local daily life.
