Jomsom Muktinath Trek – Sacred Landscapes and Himalayan Beauty
The Jomsom Muktinath Trek is one of the most spiritually enriching and visually stunning treks in Nepal. This route follows the ancient Trans-Himalayan trade path into the heart of Mustang, taking trekkers through a dramatic shift in landscapes — from lush valleys to arid, high-altitude deserts. The highlight of the trek is reaching Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists.
From the breezy airstrips of Jomsom to the windswept Kali Gandaki Gorge (the world’s deepest), trekkers are greeted with views of Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and the dry Tibetan-influenced villages of the Mustang region. You’ll experience the vibrant Thakali culture, charming apple orchards, hot springs, and one of the most spiritual mountain destinations in Nepal.
The trek begins and ends in Pokhara, combining natural beauty, cultural immersion, and light adventure. Its moderate difficulty level and well-established teahouses make it a perfect choice for beginner to intermediate trekkers looking for both comfort and cultural depth.
