Jomsom is a lovely town on the banks of the Kali Gandaki River, with the towering Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri hills in the distance. This Jomsom–Muktinath Trek offers breathtaking views of the spectacular mountain panoramas, one-of-a-kind temples, and monasteries that dot the winding valleys. We also go along the Kali Gandaki gorge’s pathways. It is the world’s deepest gorge. Then we go to Muktinath Temple.
