Tour Highlights

The Jomsom Muktinath trekking package is ideal for travellers who would love to witness the scenic natural beauty and geographical and ethnic diversity from proximity. This is the best chance to explore the picturesque valley's incredible mountain views, temples, and holy monasteries. This is one of the most popular trekking routes that the remote side of Nepal can offer. It is also one of the best and most popular trekking trips taken by several international trekkers and local Nepalese people all over the year calendar.

On this trekking path, you go through lovely Nepali villages, the local lifestyle and culture, lush green hills, and the delicate rocky terrain. The hiking trips take you alongside the Kaligandaki River and follow the scenery of snow-clad mountains on the backdrop. The trekking route moves from subtropical forests to the arid landscape, resembling the Tibetan Plateaus. This trekking trail is also popular because of the comfortable options for accommodation facilities. Religious sites along this route attract several Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims each year. We start our trekking journey to Jomsom and Muktinath by first driving to the place named Nayapul, after which we start trekking through Tikhedhunga, Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Ghasa, Tukche, and Kagbeni to reach Muktinath.
