The Jomsom Muktinath Trek in the Annapurna region is enthralling and is sure to allure you with its prepossessing aura of the world's deepest gorge- the Kali Gandaki. Along with its cultural glory and the inclusion of visiting the holy temple of Muktinath, the trek also lets you trudge through verdant rhododendron forests that present a florescent canopy of gossamer petals of colors red, white, and pink. Journeying through the lush acreage of forests and passing by rocky cliffs, you would be experiencing the arid environment of the Annapurna Region. You will have the opportunity to encounter the cultural aspects along your trek, where you shall discover the blend of Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu cultures.
The Jomsom Muktinath Trek begins with a drive to Pokhara, a short journey filled with vibrant environments of rich hills enveloped in the jades of the forest. Driving to Nayapul, you would walk through magnificent blossoms of rhododendrons and foxgloves, the terrain adorned with blooms of poppies and blue hydrangea. Oak and Birch's trees grow tall and robust, contributing to the mysticism of the land. You will drift by stony steps and boulders to reach Ghorepani- where you can feel the chill in the mountain weather. Hiking to Poon Hill (3210m), you would be subjected to glorious sights of the rising Sun from amidst the magnificent Himalayas, changing the color of the peaks from ivory to burning saffron. The striking view of the Annapurna Mountain Range from the vantage point at Poon Hill is breathtaking!
Moving further in the Jomsom Muktinath Trek, you would pass settlements like Ghasa, occupied by the Thakali people. You will visit lovely villages like Lete, Kokethanti, and Tukuche until you reach the dainty village of Kagbeni, a charming settlement on the old trans-Himalayan business trail. Most importantly, the trek takes you to the holy temple of Muktinath and several other monasteries within the Muktinath area. The religious temples and monasteries are devoted to Lord Vishnu and Lord Buddha. Their intricately decorated quiddities are beautiful, the colorful prayer flags swaying gently in the crisp wind. Walking on the pristine and isolated landscapes, you will finally be trekking on your trails to Jomsom.
