Jomsom Muktinath Trek is a 13-days’ tour starting from Nayapul via Tatopani and Ghorepani. Dipping into the hot springs of Tatopani soothes and relaxes your tired body. Since Jomsom lies in the rain shadow of the Himalaya, you will find the arid environment and windy. The houses are built in a distinctive way to protect from the strong winds. These winds are due to the atmospheric pressure differences between the low-lying valleys and the Tibetan plateaus. So it is recommendable to take early morning flights back to Pokhara. Sometimes the flight gets canceled due to sturdy winds. An alternative route getting to Pokhara from Jomsom is via road hiring a jeep or bus. But you must be ready for the bumpy ride on rough roads. Kali Gandaki gorge or Andha Galchi is another highlight of this trekking. It is popular as the deepest canyon in the world. You can find the abundant amount of Shaligrams here.
