This area is famous as a holy pilgrimage place for Hindus and Buddhist devotees. You will have the opportunity to visit the unique villages of the area with out standing views of the world's highest mountain such as Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Nilgiri. This trekking is also famous because you trek through the valley to the heights in the deepest gorge in the world. This trekking can be done in less time also because of the regular flights from Pokhara to Jomsom.
This is one of the oldest and pilgrims cultural treks in Nepal. Also known as classic trek which essentially the final third of the Annapurna Circuit, follows the Kali Gandaki Valley between the soaring peak of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and Annapurna. The trek follows the ancient trading route from India to Tibet up the Kali Gandaki valley starting from the road head near Pokhara and finishing at the pilgrimage site of Muktinath. Muktinath Temple, the holy place where you will observe the activities of many devout Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims including ascetics or "Sadhus" who have walked from as far as India to reach this point.
We experience a range of surroundings, from the culture of the lowland villages to the splendor of the high Himalaya. This trek gives many spectacular views of the two Himalayan giants, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgir and gives flavors of the Tibet-like country north of Jomsom.
There are two ways to get to Muktinath from Kathmandu. Either taken a direct flight from Kathmandu via Pokhara to Jomsom and hike for a 7-8 hours via Kagbeni or to trek all the way from Pokhara which takes 7-8 days. It is believed that one should visit this temple after competing pilgrimages of four Dhams in India. This temple held sacred by Hindus as well as Buddhists. The Jwala Mai temple nearby contains a spring and an eternal flame fed by natural gas undergroung. Jomsom is a major center in the Annapurna region. There is a world-class accommodation facility in Jomsom from where one can enjoy remarkable natural beauty.
