Starting Nayapul, trek to Jomsom, Muktinath offers opportunity to walk on the Tibetan plateau conquering the altitude of almost 3,800m passing through well cultivated terraced fields, indigenous villages, rhododendron forest, world’s deepest gorge (at Dana) of Kali Gandaki River in between Annapurna and Dhaulagiri (rising above 8000m), Apple orchards and finally, treeless, dry and arid land of the lower Mustang region.

Poon Hill - the best viewpoint of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna range in the entire Annapurna region, Kaagbeni – a gateway to the forbidden Kingdom of Mustang filled with prayer wheels, Chortens and Buddhist monastery, Muktinath – a god of salvation for Hindus and a place of nirvana for Buddhist featuring 108 holy water spouts, Vishnu and Jwala Mai temple – featuring gas fires, Marme Lakhang and Gonde Gompa (centuries old monastery),settlements like Ghasa, Marpha, Jomsom and fossils in the bank of Kali Gandaki River are some of the major highlights of Jomsom Muktinath trekking. It’s an opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view of Annapurna, Dhalagiri and Nilgiri, while getting acquainted with the lifestyle and the hospitality of Gurung, Thakali and Sherpa people. Relax your tired muscles in a natural hot spring at Tatopani!

Moreover, a standard 13 Day Jomsom Muktinath trek itinerary designed by Amigo Treks and Expedition allows you to enjoy all of these highlights while making you walk through a part of 20 days Annapurna Circuit Trek. Any person with a moderate fitness level can opt for this trek; however, on request the days, cost and requirements can definitely be customized. Upper Mustang Trek (16days), Annapurna Base Camp Trek (16 days), and Ghorpani, Poonhill Trek (10 days) are some of the best packages offered by Amigo Treks and Expedition in the Annapurna region of Nepal. All the packages include full board meal during the trek along with 100% departure date, complementary map and the best group discount offers.

As Jomsom, Muktinath lies in the rain-shadow area, the trek can be planned any time of the year. However, planning this trek in between March-May and September-December is considered more fulfilling. Starting with 7 hours scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and then 2 more hours drive to Nayapul, the journey ends with a flight, first from Jomsom to Pokhara and then from Pokhara to Kathmandu.

Everest Base Camp Trek

WOW, Where do I start? I have wanted to do this trek for about 30 years, so when we decided to book we compared many trekking companies to decide who to go with and #AmigoTrekking scored the best and they certainly lived up to expectations. We had an amazing journey far better than our wildest dreams. There were a few reasons why our trip was so good and here's why. Prior to the Journey: AMIGO Trekking were so professional prior to the journey, answering my numerous emails in the leadup in regards to gear requirements, weight of rental gear and logistics. We communicated with Niti regularly and she always got back to me within 24 hours. This is very important when trying to plan such a trip. Amigo and Niti were also the only company that effortlessly accommodated our desire to extend our stay in Tengboche to attend the festival at the monastery. (November) Once we arrived: We were greeted at the airport by a very friendly and professional mountain guide 'Hari Adhikari' who immediately helped us navigate our exit from the airport making a very chaotic situation easy. We felt like royalty. Little did we know at that point just how much this one man would shape our trek into the amazing journey it became. For the next 14 days Hari was by our side perfectly pacesetting our speed for success. He steered us to quality tea houses with the best food for breaks, negotiated the best rooms for us every night and even showed us the best spots for pictures along the way. His experience and cheery disposition was very visible with every interaction he had. He seemed to be best friends with every guide, porter and tea house owner we passed. Hence we nicknamed him 'Happy Hari'. No task was too big or small and he made a point of letting us know where he'd be every night (his room number, tent or dining room) in case we needed him. He was not only the main reason for our successful completion of the Trek, but added many enjoyable moments for us as well. If you are lucky enough to have Hari as your guide, make sure you take a pack of UNO cards with you. Hari loves the game! Along with Hari we were also lucky to have on our team an amazing young man Chandra (Sandra) who was our super human porter. He too always wore a smile, even when lugging our bags over rock after rock! Thanks mate, we don't know how you do it. If we can impart one thing we've learned that will make your Trek in Nepal memorable. It's go with Amigo and insist on Hari and Chandra. You won't regret it! Thanks guys, we are forever grateful.
