Overview:

“Jomsom Muktinath Trekking – A true amalgamation of nature and spirits”

Jomsom Muktinath Trekking is full of diverse activities. The journey has splendid scenery of lofty mountains. Trekkers can relish natural hot water springs to breezy valleys and sacred temples.

Before the expansion of road network the trail was purely a walking detour. However, the same destination can be reached via road or flight. Even if there is enough accessibility options the itinerary of Everest Buddha Treks endow the authentic walking experience.

The addition of the Ghorepani Poon hill on the itinerary make the journey rich and reasonable. Trekkers start their walking journey following the itinerary of Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. Check out the same trekking package in the Annapurna region trekking section of this website. You can omit this portion and simply choose to do the trekking from the Tatopani of Myagdi district. However, travel experts suggest to add the Poon Hill as well on the itinerary.

After the joyous visit of Poon hill trekkers trek downhill to Tatopani. The dip into natural hot water springs on the bank of Kaligandaki River is very refreshing. Overnight stay at villages like Ghasa and Marpha provide unique experience.

Marpha is the clustered village of Thakali people with many monasteries and apple farm. The local delicacies and drinks made from organic apples are not to miss during the trekking.

Kagbeni and Muktinath Temple

Kagbeni is the village located at the foothill of Muktinath Temple hill and on the bank of holy Kaligandaki River. The banks of Kaligandaki River is famous for shaligrams (holy fossils). The fossils are believed to be the artifacts of Lord Vishnu himself. Therefore, it has huge significance among Hindus.

Muktinath Temple is at a beautiful place. Even more alluring is the fact that it is holy temple where there are 108 taps. According to Hindu mythology if you take bath at these taps all your sins get washed away and you will get the true salvation.

How to obtain visa to travel to Nepal?

You can obtain “VISA” to Nepal through embassy or other diplomatic mission to your country. You can also obtain visa at entry points to Nepal or at the airport in the immigration for merely $40. The extension of visa requires an additional payment of $30. Do not forget to carry some passport size photos with you.

I want to go on a trek. What is the best time and place for it?

Everything you want to do is time and cost specific. Besides, your experience in trekking will also matter. There is wide range of options in Nepal if you want to explore. If you arrive in proper season, that is, between September to November (Autumn Season) and March to May (Spring Season), you might just experience something that you will be able to cherish for the lifetime. The shortest of trek can be Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, Langtang Helambu Trek or the Annapurna Circuit. The Everest trek and the full Annapurna sanctuary Trek can be ideal if you have a little more time. Finally, if you are looking for something that’s longer and more challenging, you’re looking at Kanchanjunga or Makalu area Trek.

What are the best trekking routes?

Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Basecamp, Everest Basecamp, Dhaulagiri Circuit, Manaslu Circuit and Kanchanjunga are the most popular trekking routes in Nepal.

Should I trek with an agency or should I trek alone?

Trekking alone can be a good experience if you are familiar with the terrain and have quite a few experiences in the area. Nobody can drag you down, and you can move at your own pace savoring the pleasant sceneries around to you. However, if it is your first experience or so, you might want to travel in group or with an agency. Should situations like medical emergencies, isolation due to disasters, etc. occur, having a group can be a matter of relief. If you have no group and you’re all by yourselves, you can hire a porter or a guide.

Is communication to our home country possible while on a trek or climb?

Nepal’s communication facilities are getting day by day, and most portions of trekking routes have mobile phone coverage. In case of a climb, VHF or satellite phones are available at the base camp. In both cases, weather can play an important role in communication.
