| 15 Days Jomsom & Muktinath Trekking. |
Highlights:
Thakali, Gurungs Magars community influences in this area. Kaligandaki valley (Jomsom –Muktinath) area is situated at north of Pokhara. Views of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the world. In addition, this region is known for some of the most abrupt altitude Variations experienced anywhere. A magnificent sunrise at Poon Hill, before descending Tatopani (hot spring) and then we encounter the world's deepest gorge, where the powerful Kali Gandaki River has cut deep through the Himalaya between the massive peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, view of wonderful Dhaulagiri Icefall. You will be reaching in Jomsom by walk 6- 7 days time. Cross a tributary farther up the valley, and reach Jomsom 98900ft 2713mtr), the centre for Mustang district, 2 hours from Marpha. There is a STOLL airstrip here with scheduled service to Kathmandu. But because of the winds, service can be unreliable. Muktinath, located in a popular grove, is a sacred shrine and pil grimage site for Hindus and Buddhists. The Mahabharata, the ancient epic written about 300 B.C., Muktinath as Shaligrama because of its ammonite fossils called shaligrams. Brahma, the creator, made an offering here by lighting a fire on water. You can see this miracle (burning natural gas) in a small Buddhist shrine (gomba) below the main Hindu temple (mandir). Chances to see from this trek most of the beautiful mountains Machhapuchhare,(Fishtail) Annapurnas, Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, & many other peaks of the Himalayas. |
