This trek offers a delightful journey through traditional Gurung and Magar villages, descending into the Kali Gandaki Valley, nestled between the towering Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The valley serves as a winter migration path for birds from the Siberian steppes and the Tibetan Plateau. Traversing an ancient trade route to Mustang and Tibet, the trail provides a Tibetan-inspired cultural experience, culminating at the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath (3,658 m).
On the return leg, enjoy a rejuvenating stop at the Tatopani hot springs before continuing back to Pokhara via the charming villages of Ghandrung and Dhampus. Whether starting from Jomsom or Pokhara, this trek promises breathtaking panoramic views from Ghorepani and the Deurali ridge, making it a remarkable introduction to the beauty and culture of the Himalayan Kingdom.
