popular for trekking , both hindu and buddhist pilgrimage trekkers also
participiate for jomsom muktinath trekking as it is most popular both
Hindu & Buddhist .Jomsom Muktinath trekking commences with a 30
minute early morning flight from pokhara to Jomsom, the major trading
center in lower Mustang. From Jomsom, we head north to Kagbeni along
the river side way of Kali Gandaki an ancient fortress settlement on
the boarder of Upper Mustang trekking. Kagbeni has many interesting
aspects and its ways of life have changed little although some rather
inappropriate concrete lodges which have been built over the last few
years hardly compliment what is otherwise a lovely little place. The
following day is a four hour hike through arid country up to the
Muktinath temple. The terrain here gradually gives way to the Tibetan
plateau providing some fascinating rock formations on route. Rather
than spending overnight at Muktinath (which over the years has become
bland) we retrace our steps for an hour or so to reach Jharkot village.
Jharkot village has in the main managed to retain its traditional way
of life. <br>

The following few days are spent traveling back along the Kali Gandaki
gorge ( Kali Gandaki Gorge is depest gorge in the world) passing
through many fascinating Thakali villages along the way. Marpha village
in particular is a very pleasant "stop off" point. It is famous for its
apple brandy (you can visit the brewery).On from Marpha towards
Kalapani where the scenery changes becoming a lot more alpine. A
further two days through pine forests towards the hot springs of
Tatopani (Natural hot spring) where we rest up for a day. Two more days
trekking up before reaching Ghorepani Poon hill for sun rise over the
Himalayas . Ghorepani poon Hill is probably the best Himalayan
panoramic view place in Annapurna region.On our return we stop for one
night in the beautiful large Gurung village of Ghandruk and great views
of Annapurna south and Machhapachare. Our last day is an easy descent
to Nayapull where transport awaits for the one & half hour journey
to the hotel in Pokhara. A very rewarding trek providing insight into
different cultures as well as a wide range of scenery and tremendous
mountain views.
