The Jomsom trek is indeed a classical Trek, essentially the final third of the Annapurna circuit, follows the Kali Gandaki Valley 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. This trek allows access to the Mountains of the Himalayas within a reasonable timeframe without ascending to extreme altitude.

This trek gives a wonderful Opportunity to witness the beauty of the Annapurna region. The trip starts just north of the city of Pokhara and winds through the Poon Hill area and then passes the Dhaulagiri icefall giving you a prime view of all the mountains. After Jomsom the trek heads up to Muktinath, an important Pilgrimage place for Buddhists and Hindus. If you don’t have time you can just use two way flights to visit Muktinath part only. Moreover you can do either fly in/trek back or trek in/fly back to Pokhara.
