Jomsom is in the upper Kali Gandaki valley at
the elevation of 2713 m. it is also known as Dzongsam or New
Fort. The chaotic view of Mt. Dhaulagiri and Mt. Nilgiri is
attractive. Jomsom area is not only the most popular
trekking destination in Nepal but also the access to Upper
Mustang and Muktinath shrine, the important pilgrimage place
for both Buddhists and Hindus.
Besides natural beauty and snowcapped mountain, amazingly
Nepal is a paradise for religion and religiousness visit.
Muktinath (provider of salvation) is a most colorful
pilgrimage site dedicated to the lord Bishnu. Jwala Devi
temple near by contains a spring and eternal holy flame fed
by natural gas spewing out of the ground.
Trek starts from Nayapul toward Tirkedhunga and lead to the
Muktinath from Jomsom. We pass and cross different places
enchanting with Annapurna Mountain range. We go to Throng
Pass from Kagbeni and back to Muktinath. Then we fly to
Pokhara from Jomsom and reach to Kathmandu by another
flight.
