The Jomsom trek is a wonderful opportunity to witness the beauty of the
Annapurna region with a shorter trek. The 6 day trek to Jomsom is essentially
the last third of the Annapurna circuit. The trip starts just north of the city
of Pokhara and winds through the Poon Hill area and then passes the Dhalagiri
icefall giving you a prime view of all the mountains. After reaching Jomsom the
trek heads up to Muktinath, an important pilgrimage place for Buddhists and
Hindu's which lies on the Tibetan plateau. This area gives you a look at the
high and dry landscape that is all the Tibetan plateau.
The trek ends with a plane ride from Jomsom to Pokhara and then to Kathmandu.
This is one of the lower elevation treks that we offer rising to only 3800 m.
