Short Trekking in Mustang, also known as Jomsom and Muktinath Treks, is located in the Annapurna region, north of the beautiful city of Pokhara. The most dramatic views of the highest mountain by closest distance and unique culture and religious beliefs. The Jomsom to Muktinath Trek starts from Beni with a long climb up the Kaligandaki valley and through the world's deepest gorge, “at DANA," all the way through the rhododendron forests to the Trans Himalaya Tibetan plateau. Jomsom and Muktinath Trekking offer you the unique culture of people who practice their ancient traditions even these days.
Jomsom Muktinath Trekking starts from Jomsom, after a 20-minute scenic flight from Pokhara and a trek to the religious site Muktinath via Kagbeni, Jharkot, observing the people's culture and their lifestyle similar to Tibetan. You have a picturesque magical landscape and breathtaking views of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Mt. Nilgiri, Tukuche Peak, and several other peaks, which appear like magic before your eyes during the sunrise and sunset. The Short Mustang Trek is famous for the Muktinath temple, situated at 3,800 m, a significant site for Hindu and Buddhist devotees and mountain lovers.
The pilgrims take baths in the sacred 108 water spots, even in December, to wash out their bad karma. And genuine goods like “Jwala Mai” (mysteriously never-put-out natural flames come through the water) are the main attraction for the visitors. “Saligram” fossil, which can be found on the riverbank of the Kaligandaki River, is an incarnation of God Vishnu, according to the Hindu holy book. People believe that Saligram grants wealth, forgiveness, health, and happiness. The traditional salt traders, Thakali, are well-known for preparing Nepali food and having conversations about their charming and wonderfully clean homes in lodges. After visiting Muktinath, we retrace to the Jomsom through the Jhong Village and then fly back to Pokhara.
Now a day Jomsom Trek with Poon Hill Trek can do 4 days to above 20 days combined with the most popular trek Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp.
