ReviewsMuktinath Temple Trekking
Jomsom Muktinath trekking is a scenic and serene trek in the midst of the Annapurna region and, is well known for its baked landscapes with strong winds. Well, the Jomsom trekking is fantastic, however, the major highlights of this trip are the superb views of massif Nilgiri and a visit to the holy and enchanting Muktinath temple. Jomsom is the district headquarters of the Mustang region and hence, all the government offices of the district are present here with a comparatively high population. The Kali Gandaki valley proudly sits beside the main bazaar with plenty of street vendors and children playing around. This region is decorated by a small airstrip with regular flights from Pokhara to Jomsom. For decades, locals here typically the Thakali people have been serving exotic trekkers with a welcoming smile. Get a chance to experience the unique culture and tradition of the Thakali inhabitants in this ethnic place.
In order to accommodate and serve the thousands of trekkers, plenty of decent guesthouses have been built in the region. The Jomsom Muktinath trek has a few altitude-related obstacles and never goes above 3000m. Nevertheless, you are rewarded with some stunning and unusual views of the high Annapurna.
Experience something like never before by walking into the deepest gorge in the world which is the narrow Kaligandaki valley. You will get to witness almost the impressive base of the stunning Nilgiri and then explore the ancient Mustang area. It tends to be a bit of cloud early in the morning, however, the views are spectacular throughout the day. We begin the trek at Pokhara with a scenic flight amidst the Himalayas to Jomsom.

Useful Information
Alpine Eco Trek recommends all our valuable trekkers to arrive at Kathmandu at least one day before the trek departure so that we have time to provide you with proper guidance, checking equipment, weather briefing, and a meeting for the guide and crew introducing. We also recommend you to keep one or two days extra for the trip, in case, flights from Pokhara to Jomsom or from Jomsom to Pokhara get delayed due to bad weather.
And, please note that for this trek the weight limit for your luggage is max. 15kg per trekker with your handbag, the domestic flights especially flying to mountain regions allow only 15kg (10kg language plus 5kg handbag) weight per trekker on a plane. Also, there will be one porter for two trekkers and our porters carry up to 20kg so the combined luggage of two trekkers should not exceed 20kg. Please carry only the essentials.

Short Jomsom trekking
Short Jomsom trekking with Alpine Eco Trek was one of my best experiences during my holiday trip to Nepal. Trek to Jomsom and then to Muktinath was a stunning and diverse experience in the Himalayas. It was the finest tea house trek in the Annapurna region with the goal of reaching the holiest Temple called Muktinath. Thank you Alpine Eco Trek for a carefully designed itinerary, professional and quality services. We strongly recommend this trek.
