Jomsom Muktinath Trek is a moderate 13-days trek that ventures into deep valleys of Jomsom, Muktinath, and even Annapurna trail itself.
The trail follows the ancient routes of high Himalayas through numerous attractive villages and trading bazaars and the naïve yet honest locals. This path was the main trade route for Tibetan traders and the locals for their business.
The ancient footpath connects local communities, pass through blooming rhododendron forests, and diverse fauna species. Narrow and abrupt gorges along the bank of Kali Gandaki River is totally awestruck. Thus, this uphill and downhill adventure is a perfect excursion to experience the real wilderness.
Through this Jomsom Muktinath Trek, you get the clear view of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna Himal, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri Himal, Tilicho peak, and Dhaulagiri ranges.
Along with the massive picturesque of various mountain ranges, you get to soak into culture and ethnicity of Gurung, Magar, and Thakalis. The trek explains about their cultural, historical, and religious background and its importance.
The shrines of Jomsom, Muktinath, Marpha, are the pilgrimage sites of both Hinduism and Buddhism significance. They prove the peaceful harmony between our diverse religion and practices.
Being the rain shaded area of <a href="https://oshovisiontreks.com/destinations/nepal/annapurna-region/">Annapurna region</a>, the Jomsom Muktinath Trek has an advantage. You can trek even in monsoon season when other trekking regions are heavily affected.
The combo of mount vistas, unique landscape, unchanged ancient cultures with many temples and monasteries along the windy valleys is something to carve for!
