Muktinath Pilgrimage Tour
The Jomsom trek is generally called Jomsom Muktinath trek, takes you from
Pokhara through the valley of the Kali Gandaki River to the pilgrim site of
Muktinath. It's a part of the world famous Annapurna Circuit trek as well.
The breathtaking natural beauty along the side of the trail from Jomsom to
Muktinath gives the feeling of real salvation as it names “Muktikshetra” in
Nepali language which means “ the zone of salvation”. People often describe the
region as a place to visit at least once before you die. The scenery of the
trail ranges from forests of brilliant red rhododendrons to rocky cliffs and
desert of Mustang. The trail follows the Kali Gandaki River. This river forms
the largest gorge in the world, on one side lies the Annapurna mountain range
and on the other side is Dhaulagiri. Between the two ranges, there are views of
8 of the 20 highest mountains in the world.
The Kali Gandaki is a quarter of a mile wide river bed; during the winter the
river is practically dry, but during the summer monsoon it fills with rain
water and melting snow.
You can find fossils in the banks of Kali Gandaki river which is the sacred
rocks for Hindus to pray. The culture among the trail is rich (mixture of Hindu
and Tibetan Buddhism). The trail weaves through the Lower Mustang region of
Nepal, ending at the village of Kagbeni, a Tibetan influenced village filled
with prayer wheels, chortens and a Buddhist monastery. The trail's highest
point is Muktinath at 3800 mtr, a holy site of temples sacred to both Buddhists
and Hindus for centuries.
