Jomsom and Muktinath are the famous pilgrimage spot for both the Hindus and Buddhists and great trekking area for Travelers. To the Hindus, it is sacred as the place of salvation. The Hindus believe that bathing in the water here guarantees salvation after death. The Hindu god, Bramha, is thought to have lit the eternal flames that still burns at Muktinath. To the Buddhists, it is a place that the great sage Guru Rinpochhe (Padmasambava) had meditation, and to all, it is the source of fossilized ammonites, known locally as saligrams, which are found all along the upper reaches of the Kali gandaki valley.
Fascinating areas - culturally and historically, picturesque villages, monasteries, unique landscape and easy access with very few trekkers in the area are the major highlights of this trip. This is among the very few trips in Nepal which can be done throughout the year.
