JOMSOM/MUKTINATH |
This is by far the most popular trek in Nepal. It referred to as a highway by people who have trekked more remote routes, and in the peak Sep/Oct & Nov trekking season, it is indeed overrun with trekkers, However, there is good reason for this popularity. Except for one long climb a day or so out of Pokhara, the trip is relatively easy. It does not climb above 13,000ft. so most trekkers will not be bothered by altitude sickness. Trekker can see spectacular views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri & Machhapuchhare (Fishtail Mountain)
The trail passes through many intresting villages inhabited by different ethnic groups and climbs from lush low land forests to the arid wastelands of the upper Kali gandaki, which is similar in many ways to the Tibetan plateau.
