Jomsom Muktinath Trekking

Trip Overview: -

Jomsom and Muktinath are the famous pilgrimage spot for both the Hindus and Buddhists and

great trekking area for Travelers. To the Hindus, it is sacred as the place of salvation. The Hindus

believe that bathing in the water here guarantees salvation after death. The Hindu god,

Bramha, is thought to have lit the eternal flames that still burns at Muktinath. To the Buddhists,

it is a place that the great sage Guru Rinpochhe (Padmasambava) had meditation, and to all, it

is the source of fossilized ammonites, known locally as saligrams, which are found all along the

upper reaches of the Kali gandaki valley.

Fascinating areas - culturally and historically, picturesque villages, monasteries, unique

landscape and easy access with very few trekkers in the area are the major highlights of this

trip. This is among the very few trips in Nepal which can be done throughout the year.
