Jomsom-Muktinath Trekking
In brief
Best season for trekking October to November and March to April
The Jomsom-Muktinath Trek is another popular trekking destination in the Annapurna region. The main trekking route follows the sandy river bank of Kali Gandaki river.

The way of life of local people has changed very little during the past centuries although some of them are living in appropriate concrete houses.

You will enjoy the variety of the sceneries in this area like the famous hot springs, Marpha, the tidy, stone-clad village surrounded by apple and apricot orchards or the monkeys living in the forests around Tukuche, the former Thakali trading center are worth visiting.

Beyond Tukuche you will enter the dry area in the Himalayan rain shadow without any vegetation.

The soil is drying out under the influence of a strong wind coming from the south. The rock formations in this region, which is a part of the Tibetan Plateau, are providing fascinating views.

On route you will see Dhaulagiri with its famous icefalls, Nilgiri, Annapurna I in the Annapurna range, as well as Manaslu and the so called Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre).
