The Jomsom trek is the final third of the Annapurna Circuit. The trail follows the Kali Gandaki, deepest gorge in the world, between the soaring peak of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Finally, it emerges to the north of the main Himalayan range, on the dry, desert- like Tibetan Plateau. A several days walk beyond Jomsom, takes you the final destination, Muktinath, the holy temple. This trek allows access to the high mountains of the Himalayas within a reasonable timeframe and without ascending to extreme altitude. You will then return to Pokhara by taking a 20 minute scenic flight from Jomsom. This trek can also be customized. The trek starts from Pokhara.
