The number of domestic and foreign tourists in the Himalayan district of Mustang is increasing. However, due to the impact of the Genji movement on Bhadra 23 and 24, ACAP Chief Gupta said that the number of foreign tourists has not increased as expected.
Although the number of foreign tourists is expected to increase by about 30 percent in 2025, the number of tourists has not increased as expected due to the low number of tourists in September, October and November. Due to the impact of the youth movement, it is reported that there were 3,638 fewer foreign tourists in September 2025, 854 in October, and 70 in November compared to 2024.
ACAP Chief Gupta said that the number of tourists increased from January to August and the end of December in 2025.
Indian tourists are the majority of those visiting here. ACAP Chief Gupta informed that 82 percent of the tourists who entered here were from SAARC countries and 18 percent from other countries, making more than 90 percent of the total tourists from SAARC countries from India.
