Jomsom-Muktinath Trekking

Jomsom

The Jomsom Trek enjoys amazingly varied topography. A “trekker’s paradise” is a fair description of this amazing experience.  Numerous places of interest can also be witness on this trek.

Jomsom, known as the” windy valley. It is the capital of Mustang district.  The Holy Kaligandaki River runs past. It is  2800 meters above sea level .

It is known as the gateway to the “Upper Mustang Trek”. As it is a restricted area it requires a special permit to enter. The  trek begins from either Jomsom (after taking flight from Pokhara) or from Birethanti (after an hour and a half bus ride from Pokhara). On the way, one can also enjoy panoramic views of the Himalayas. Also you will be walking through the world’s deepest gorge at Dana. At the same time, you can stop at a hot spring at Tatopani, which is believed to wash away sins in the purifying waters. Most of the trek is along the river of Kaligandaki, where one can find Shaligram (fossils), stones that reveal different patterns once broken open
