Jomsom Muktinath Trek Overview
Jomsom Muktinath Trek is an exciting trek in the Annapurna and Mustang regions of Nepal. The 13-day trek begins in Kathmandu with a tour of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Next, we fly to Pokhara, the beautiful Lake City, and begin trekking from there.
We trek in the beautiful Annapurna region and gradually enter the Mustang region. Our trail passes through quaint villages, cascading waterfalls, lush forests, and surprisingly an almost-barren leeward side of the Himalayas.
The diverse Nepalese landscape combined with the rich culture of its people makes this trek all the more rewarding. On our Jomsom Muktinath Trek, we also walk on trails along the Kali Gandaki gorge which is the deepest gorge on earth, and then visit Muktinath Temple which is an important place of pilgrimage for Hindus and Buddhists alike.
Dipping our bodies into the hot spring at Tatopani will also be a pleasing experience. The trek ends with our flight to Pokhara from Jomsom followed by a drive to Kathmandu.
