Overview

    The Jomsom Muktinath trek, also known as the Lower Mustang trek, is the most well-known and versatile trekking trail in the Annapurna region. A diverse community of people lives in the river valleys and high mountains that engulf the vast Annapurna mountains. This Jomsom Muktinath Trek involves monasteries and Hindu temples for their cultural and religious taste. With Muktinath as the highest point, this is a comparatively low-altitude hike that is appropriate for almost everyone. It is one of the most famous ways to reach the Himalayas, with Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Dhaulagiri serving as the apex of the journey.

     Following a 6-7-hours drive or a quick flight to Pokhara, the scenic lake city west of Kathmandu, we explore several central tourist attractions before concluding with a fantastic view of the mighty Himalayas. On the preceding day, we started the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek by driving to Nayapul and then trekking to Tikhe Dhunga and Ghorepani, and the next day hike to Poohnill early in the morning.

     The sunrise over the skyline from Poon Hill is the pinnacle of this Ghorepani Poonhill trek, but, before that, the path crosses via picturesque villages, thick rhododendron forests teeming with birds, and deep sub-tropical valleys. We trekked to Tadapani on the same day. On the following day, we descend to the Kali Gandaki River, then cross the bridge and proceed to Ghasa, Tukche, and Kagbeni.

     From Kagbeni, we climb steeply to Muktinath. It is one of the most famous Hindu holy sites with 108 taps for purified water. In Muktinath, many tribal Tibetans and Buddhists reside and visit the temple. You can also see underground fires that are continuously burning due to natural gas. After visiting the most famous holy place, we retrace back to Jomsom, then Pokhara and the trip ends at Kathmandu.

     The Jomsom Muktinath 15 days trek is your thing if you are looking for an easy and excellent trekking trail in Nepal. At any time of the year, you can go on this trek. If you can’t because of physical disability, then we can hire a vehicle throughout the trip.
