Jomsom Muktinath Trek Overview

Jomsom Muktinath Trek is a classic lodge base trek that begins with climbing uphill and then descends to the deepest gorge in the world, on the Kali Gandaki River, from the rhododendron (National Nepal Flower) forest to the beginning of the Tibetan village. It also gives us the opportunity to see cultural people mixing up with their ancient traditions until today.

The maximum elevation reached on this trek is 3900 meters and all the age groups can complete it. Keep walking slowly through rhododendron forests, the majestic Annapurna range reveal itself as you appear from the forest into Ghorepani. A short hike from Ghorepani will bring us to Poon Hill (3210 meters), a place of timeless beauty give us magnificent views of the Himalayan Mountains.

The Jomsom Muktinath Trek becomes interesting in Tatopani where you will have the opportunity to relax in natural hot springs Continue along the Kali Gandaki River Gorge, a phenomenon at the beautiful peaks of Annapurna-I and Dhaulagiri, both reaching heights of over 8000 meters.

A little added together with the first glimpse of the windy Tibetan village on the way to the holy Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site of Muktinath (3900 meters) the majesty of the Dhaulagiri Glacier is on display. The sacred temple has 108 waterfalls that remind you of tap-flowing water and the mysterious fires of natural gas that attracted the mind.

From here it’s down hill to the village of Jomsom, the people of Tibet and Thakali, where we can look around at the gateway to the “Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang” and glimpse the ancient traditions that still follow.

Can I Go For Upper Mustang Trekking From Jomsom Muktinath?

Yes, you can do the Upper Mustang Trek after the Jomsom Muktinath Trek. But, Upper Mustang is a restricted trekking region trek, so you will need special permits to enter upper- mustang, whereas no special permit is needed up to Lower Mustang. Jomsom serves as a gate for both Upper Mustang Trek and Annapurna Circuit Trek.

If you love long detours during the trek and want to add either the Upper Mustang or Annapurna circuit trek to your Jomsom Muktinath trek Itinerary, then spend around an extra 5-10 days. 

Also, do remember to keep enough time in your hand and inform your travel planners about Himalaya Discovery beforehand, as going for a trek in the Upper Mustang needs lots of pre-work and formalities. You cannot make a quick trip decision as adding the Upper Mustang hike requires permission and all other legal work and then the necessary arrangements. 

Mountains and Spectacular Annapurnas On Jomsom Muktinath Trek Route

Jomsom Muktinath Trek Trip Information

While traveling to Jomsom Muktinath Trek, one must prepare for both spiritual exploration and impressive mountain views. This guide provides all the essential information you need to enjoy your sacred trek within the Himalayan region while offering advice for lodgings during your journey and seasonal recommendations, together with packing and altitude guidance and destination advice for the region's landmarks.

Difficulty

The Jomsom Muktinath Trek is moderately challenging, so it is suitable for those who have an average level of fitness. During trekking time you need to walk 5-6 hours a day on a varied terrain, including some steep ascent and descent as well.

The trail up to the highest point, Muktinath (at 3,855 meters /12,647 feet), makes you least prone to altitude sickness, but it’s always better you familiarize yourself with altitude sickness symptoms and do the necessary remedies. Look for adequate acclimatization days in your itinerary while keeping yourself hydrated and walking at a pace so that you do not get over-exerted.

Jomsom-Muktinath trail is well-marked with teahouses/lodges providing good facilities for accommodation and easy access to meals. With reasonably good preparation and a moderate fitness level, the Jomsom Muktinath Trek will be a memorable holiday mixed with a diversity of landscapes and richness in cultural insights.

Best Time

During the spring months of March to May and autumn months from September to November, the Jomsom Muktinath Trek presents its prime hiking season. From spring, when walking opportunities open up, hikers receive pleasant temperatures throughout, along with stunning rhododendrons in bloom accompanied by remarkable mountain views through clear skies.

The weather in autumn grants steady climate conditions, complete visibility and clear vistas that perfect this season for hiking. These seasons show comfortable daytime temperatures, but temperatures stay cold at night.

Visitors should avoid going to the region between June and August because monsoonal weather offers dangerous hiking conditions, including slippery trails and possible landslides. Between December and February, temperatures become cold, resulting in significant snow accumulation at heights, which establishes dangerous hiking environments. Travel conditions improve when you plan your trek for the autumn or spring seasons.

Will I Get Altitude Sickness During Jomsom Muktinath Trek?

While the Jomsom Muktinath Trek does not reach the same extreme altitudes as other treks in Nepal, you will still be trekking at elevations over 3,000 meters (9,800 feet), with your highest point at Muktinath reaching 3,855 meters (12,647 feet). There is some risk of altitude sickness at these heights, but it is relatively low.

Some people may experience mild symptoms such as headaches, dizziness or nausea. Drinking plenty of water and fluids along the way will help to ward off any altitude sickness. Keeping to a light but balanced diet and avoiding alcohol can also assist in preventing these symptoms. If you do experience severe and/or increasing symptoms, then discontinue ascent and, if necessary, descent.

Is Getting Travel Insurance Required?

While trekking to Muktinath, travel insurance is not compulsory but we recommend you to get travel insurance as per your choice and needs. During the trek in lower and upper Mustang areas, including Jomsom and Muktinath, many incidents can happen, and if you are insured by any medical or accidental help insurance, it takes all financial risk.

Before buying a travel insurance policy for Nepal, we recommend you look out for Insurance that covers Helicopter evacuation up to 5000m of altitude for activities like high-altitude trekking. It’s advisable to read all the terms & conditions of your insurance policy carefully.

Accommodation

Along the Jomsom-Muktinath trek, accommodation facilities are available in the form of teahouses and guesthouses that are basic and some are more comfortable. Teahouses/guesthouses generally provide twin-sharing room accommodation, and these rooms will have beds, blankets and pillows.

In some places, mainly in lower areas, you will be provided with the facility of attached bathrooms as well as an electric blanket, but in some places, you will have to share a bathroom. In case you want a single room, then they can be made available on request, and they cost more than double/twin rooms.

It is advisable to bring your sleeping bag for hygienic reasons, but in many teahouses, blankets are also provided upon request without any charge. The higher we go it becomes bit expensive to carry things by mule/porters; hence, the accommodations tend to get more expensive.

Information To Know Before Departure To Jomsom Muktinath Trek

Meals

You will find a variety of meals on the trek that includes traditional Nepali meal Dal Bhat (rice and lentil soup), momos (dumplings), noodles, and pasta. You will have breakfast and dinner at the teahouse where you will be spending your night and lunch, usually taken on the trail in a teahouse.

Vegetarian meals are available everywhere, so we recommend you to have vegetarian because meat is not fresh, especially in higher altitudes.

Wi-Fi and Internet

Tourists can access Wi-Fi throughout the Jomsom-Muktinath trek through the area’s various teahouses, although network speeds and quality vary broadly. The isolated location of this area leads to unreliable and slower internet speeds than what urban cities typically experience.

Wi-Fi connections are available through teahouses but customers can access it as either a separate fee option or as part of room rate packages. Most parts of the location receive mobile service from Ncell and NTC as they are the main service providers in whole Nepal. Travelers who want mobile connectivity while touring Nepal should buy a local SIM card in Kathmandu.

Device Charging

Travelers can find electronic device charging stations throughout teahouses across the trek although they require paying a service fee. Every cost structure for charging electronic devices depends on where customers are located and the type of device being charged.

Travelers should bring universal adapters because different plugs require unique adapters. The reliability and availability of electricity supply decreases when trekking toward higher elevations, along with the limited charging infrastructure you will find along the way. A portable power bank will keep your devices powered, so bring one along.

Hot Showers

Most of the teahouses in the Jomsom-Muktinath trek offer hot shower facilities, but it is taken as an extra facility. Location and altitude might vary the price. The prices go high at the higher locations as the cost of transportation goes high. In higher altitude areas, hot water may not be ample, and the shower may be on only for a specific time of the day.

Your Dream Itinerary, Crafted With You

I was born and raised in Nepal, nearby the Everest region. I am proud to be a native Sherpa, and I have been a Mountain guide over a decade now.

Following my passion, I decided to start helping travelers with their travel plans! I think life is a journey, a trip where you collect experiences when you share with other people and with nature.

I started Himalaya Discovery because I was ready to see a new kind of travel brand, one built on the simple idea of feeling good and doing good.

Since its start, Himalaya Discovery has been super-powered by you, our community; when you “travel” it, we create it. We’re on a mission to make travel better with clean, award-winning adventures that are sustainable and conscious of the planet we share.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.
