A 9 days trek plus nights in 3 Kathmanu and 2 nights in Pokhara
The route follows the Kaligandaki valley between the soaring peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri and finally emerges to the north of the main Himalaya range on the dry desert like Tibetan plateau. The Kaligandaki river basin, the junction of the Indian plain and Tibetan highland, includes wide varieties of races, religion, culture, climate, and topography hence creating an interesting trekking course. The final destination is the holy temple of Muktinath, a further days walk beyond Jomsom. Muktinath is a famous pilgrimage site for Buddhist as well as Hindus where you will see Tibetan traders as well as Sadhus from far south of India. You will gain the maximum attitude 3710m at this place yet altitude sickness is not a problem because of gradual ascent. From Jomsom, you can make your return trip by flight or you will have to retrace your steps down the Kaligandaki Valley.
