With the increase in extreme heat, the number of people coming from Terai-Madhesh to the Himalayas to escape the heat has increased.

Due to the high temperature due to lack of monsoon rains in Terai-Madhesh, the number of people coming to Mustang in the cold land across the Himalayas has increased in number of hundreds every day to escape the heat. According to the border police station, which is keeping records of all vehicles and passengers entering Mustang, 14,242 Nepali tourists including 4,655 women and 16,890 Indian tourists including 5,797 women have visited Mustang. 

"As the summer heats up, Indian tourists usually come in reserve jeeps and Nepali tourists come in Mustangs with more motorcycles," said Tek Bahadur Kumal, chief assistant police inspector of Ghansa Police Station, "In June-August, the Beni-Jomsom road is more prone to landslides, so tourists do not come during the monsoon season, but this year domestic tourists are coming in Mustangs because it is hotter." He said that he assumed that the Mustang had entered.

According to the owners of vehicle repair garages at Beni and Beni-Jomsom road, the youth of Terai-Madhesh have come on motorcycles and the business community has reserved jeeps for Mustangs. As the drought has not even planted rice in Madhesh, the young people who are free have climbed the Mustang to beat the heat. 

According to the records of District Police Office Mustang, 15,789 tourists visited Mustang last June. This number is twice more than the same month last year. In June last year, 7,380 people visited Mustang. 3 thousand 207 foreign tourists have reached Mustang until July 9, the peak of the monsoon season.
