Jomsom and Muktinath trek in northern Nepal offers some spectacular mountain views. Jomsom trek can be a good choice for those who wish to avoid high altitudes. A trek to Jomsom and Muktinath starts from Pokhara either take a plane to or from Jomsom to avoid backtracking but this is not worth doing. We recommend you to trek from the
low land on the Kali Gandaki river. Jomsom and Muktinath trek is one of the easiest, most comfortable and certainly the most popular trek in Nepal. There is the entire route and the terrain is more varied than on any other trek of comparable length. There are howerver several side trips that take the trekker up and out of the valleys and closer to the main Himalaya. Muktinath, a Hindu and Buddhis pilgrimage site, is a day’s walk north of Jomsom.
Jomsom / Muktinath trek can be done throughout the year although the best season is Oct to Dec and March to April. There can be occasional snow at Ghorepani in winter (Dec – Jan) but it rarely closes the trail.
