Trip Overview

Jomsom Muktinath Trek is a very exciting and unique trek in the Annapurna and Mustang region of Nepal. Mustang region is famous for its unique and dry landscape with magnificent Himalayan ranges. 

The influence of Thakali, Gurung and Magar communities can be found in this area. Kali Gandaki Valley (Jomsom – Muktinath) area is situated north of Pokhara. In addition, this region is known for some of the most abrupt altitude variations experienced in Nepal. 

A magnificent sunrise at Poon Hill, before descending Tatopani (hot spring), and then we encounter the World’s deepest gorge, where the powerful Kali Gandaki River has cut deep through the Himalayas between the massive peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.

The administrative center of the Lower and Upper Mustang area is the large town of Jomsom. Along the Kali Gandaki Valley, which connects India and Tibet via the ancient Trans-Himalayan salt trade route, it is also the main village. For Hindus and Buddhists, Muktinath, a respected shrine and place of pilgrimage, is situated in the well-known forest. 

Due to the presence of ammonite fossils known as Shaligrams, Muktinath is referred to as Shaligram in the ancient epic Mahabharata, which was composed around 300 B.C. Here, the creator Brahma offered himself by setting fire to water. Below the main Hindu temple is a little Buddhist shrine called Gomba where you can witness this miracle—the combustion of natural gas.

The stunning summits Machhapuchhare (Fishtail), Annapurna Range, Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, and numerous other peaks can be seen from this walk.
