Jomsom Muktinath Trek

Jomsom Muktinath Trek Overview

Jomsom Muktinath is a compound word; the words that are related to two popular places, famous for a trek in the Annapurna Region. Jomsom is renowned in the world for being the windiest place, while Muktinath has a sacred temple for the Hindus; the Buddhists and the Jains also hold Muktinath in high esteem. Both of these places lie in Mustang District, and when the trekking trail takes you to the heart of Mustang, there are lots of apple orchards, and you will get lots of items made of these apples, including apple wine and brandy. Side by side in Mustang, you will see everything that the Tibetan Culture has to show, and there is also a place called Tatopani which in Nepali means hot water, that is, hot spring, where you can dip to get relief. Seeing the original Tibetan Culture, having the best Natural Treatment, the trekking trail takes you to the past when you pick up ancient marine fossils that date back to millions of years old. Because of all these as well as because of the part of the Annapurna Circuit Trek that has snow-covered mountains, Jomsom Muktinath Trek is one of the best treks that you will come across when thinking of holidaying in Nepal.

Overall, the Jomsom Muktinath Trek is about seeing the incredible view of the Himalayas, the breath-taking ones, in addition to this, standing in the beautiful landscapes as well as being on the Tibetan Plateau. This is the world’s highest tableland you will ever reach. Because of this, it has the Valley of Kali Gandaki River, the world’s deepest gorge. Where there is a high altitude, the trekking trail becomes scenic and takes you to Poon Hill, the best viewpoint in the Annapurna Region, from where you can see the rewarding and panoramic view of all the snow-covered mountains like the Annapurna Ranges, Manaslu, and Dhaulagiri. At such an altitude, there is always a rhododendron forest, and this is only the altitude that has a barren land as well as beautiful landscapes through which you walk without complaining.

Accommodation

In Kathmandu and Pokhara, you are going to stay at the 3-star category hotel (Value). During trekking, you will spend your night in a tea house. The tea house is a lodge or a guest house. The tea house is an old name for a lodge because trekkers and climbers gave this name 40 years ago. After all, it used to sell only tea then. Now they also sell meals as well as provide bedrooms for the trekkers and climbers. The old name tea house is still used by the trekking agencies in Nepal. Hence, the name tea house trek. Tea house differs from village to village where you are going to spend your night. Some have attached bathrooms as well as running a hot water facility, while others have only basic facilities, that is, you have to share a toilet and a bathroom with others. This is so because they are located at a high altitude and the remotest area. Some provide dormitory-style accommodation, but they also provide you a bed, a pillow, a blanket, and a bedsheet still, you must have your sleeping bag.
