Nepal Tibet Trekking Touching soul of the Himalayas
per person based on 2 PAX
Jomsom-Muktinath Yatra is more than just a walk; it is a journey of the heart, soul, and spirit. Nestled in the breathtaking Annapurna region, the trek leads to Muktinath, one of Nepal’s most sacred destinations, revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike. For ages, pilgrims have come to Muktinath seeking serenity, purification, and heavenly favours. Known traditionally as Chumig Gyatse, the location is devoted to Guru Padmasambhava, and its mystical waters are said to cleanse the spirit and inspire peace.
Historic Jomsom
The Yatra begins in Jomsom, also known as Dzong Sak, a tiny hamlet on the Kali Gandaki River. Jomsom, known for its Shaligram stones, is a Thakali cultural hub that welcomes visitors with warm hospitality, rich traditions, and great local cuisine. The town is an excellent starting point for learning about Annapurna’s history and culture.

Along the trip, trekkers are treated to spectacular Himalayan views.
* Dramatic valleys and harsh terrain.

Typical Meals:
Dal Bhat: The classic Nepali meal of steamed rice, lentil soup, and vegetable curry — healthy, filling, and unlimited in most teahouses.
Noodles and Pasta: Stir-fried or soupy noodles, and pasta with vegetables, egg, or meat.
Fried Rice: A popular dish made with rice, seasonal vegetables, eggs, or meat.
Pancakes & Porridge: Sweet or savory options, perfect for breakfast, made with wheat or buckwheat flour.

You’ll find tea, coffee, hot chocolate, soft drinks, beer, and occasionally local wines. It’s a good idea to bring energy bars, nuts, or chocolate for quick snacks on the trail.
Water:
Boiled or bottled water is available at teahouses, but it’s strongly recommended to carry water purification tablets or a portable filter to ensure safe drinking water throughout the trek.
Note: We humbly request you don’t drink/eat milk that and meat items (hot chocolate, milk coffee, and milk tea) because milk is powder and not boiled.
Like the majority of the treks, the Jomsom Muktinath Yatra offers you accommodation in tea houses with basic facilities. Every Tea house has a menu, and you can make your own choice. But most of the foods are dominated by the Nepali Dal-Bhat and similar meals. Our guide will suggest you select fresh, hygienic, and trek-suitable food.
