The Jomsom Muktinath Trekking is indeed a classical trek, essentially the final third of the Annapurna Circuit, follows the Kali Gandaki Valley between the soaring peak of Annapurna & Dhaulagiri. This is one of the most popular trekking region in Nepal . This classic lodge trek starts with a long climb and descends to the world's deepest gorge, on the Kali Gandaki River, going all the way from rhododendron forests to the beginning of the Tibetan plateau.. This trek also offers you a chance to encounter unique cultural people who practice their ancient traditions even today. It's also among the tamest areas, with excellent lodges lining the main routes. The deep valleys and high mountains encircling the giant Annapurna Himal embrace a wide range of peoples and terrain, from subtropical jungle to a high, dry landscape resembling the Tibetan Plateau. 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 reaching Jomsom the trekking heads up to Muktinath, an important pilgrimage place for Buddhists and Hindu's which lies on the Tibetan border. The maximum altitude reached on this trek is 3800m and can be completed by anybody with a moderate level of fitness.The physical beauty along Jomsom Muktinath trekking is breathtaking as the mountain viewing is brilliant in this trek and various ethnic groups of Nepal can be encountered along the way This trekking provides an excellent opportunity to experience the fascinating glimpse of rich culture, typical Nepalese lifestyle and ultimate thrill of trekking in the Himalayas at the high elevation. 
Itinerary for Jomsom Muktinath Trekking
I had the pleasure last January of having the most wonderful trekking guide in Nepal around Kathmandu and then the Annapurna circuit trekking in Annapurna region trek . I have been with him several times in Nepal including Everest base camp kalapathar trekking upper mustang trekking manaslu trekking in Nepal annapurna base camp trekking and sight seeing around kathmandu patan and bhakatapur Rajandra Khanal was not only knowledgeable about Nepalese history and trails, he was also patient, efficient, very smart and witty, spoke excellent English and always seemed to have a good rapport with whoever we encountered, both local Nepalese and tourists. He was an extremely strong guide who carried some of my belongings along with his own, and never appeared tired, always as energetic and agile as a mountain goat. I remember one instance where we did a steep climb, and I as usual was moving very slowly in Annapurna region trek . When we reacched the top of the mountain I realized I did not have my money pouch, and had probably dropped it way back on the trekking trail where we had stopped. As soon as I told him he was off, running down the mountain at top speed. I watched him reach the bottom and take off like lightning down the trail. We had passed a group of boys walking in the direction of where I had dropped my pouch, and of course, if they found it that would be the end of that. But he reached the pouch before the boys, and came running back down the trail and up the mountain in 15 minutes, the same steep climb that had taken me much longer!! He arrived smiling and happy that he had suceeded. I was very, very grateful, and impressed!!! He was always good natured and hapy!! After that I let him carry my money. At the end of the trek I found out how frugal he had been, and that he had negotiated lodgings so skillfully that he had save me quite a lot of money. We remain good friends and I look forward to the time when I can return to Nepal and trek again with this wonderful young man.
