to November and March to April |
|
| The Jomsom-Muktinath
Trek is another popular trekking destination in the Annapurna region.
The main trekking route follows the sandy river bank of Kali Gandaki
river. |
|
 |
The
way of life of local people has changed very little during the past centuries
although some of them are living in appropriate concrete houses.
| You
will enjoy the variety of the sceneries in this area like the famous hot
springs, Marpha, the tidy, stone-clad village surrounded by apple
and apricot orchards or the monkeys living in the forests around Tukuche,
the former Thakali trading center are worth visiting. |
|
 |
Beyond Tukuche you will enter the dry area in the Himalayan rain shadow without any vegetation.
| The
soil is drying out under the influence of a strong wind coming from the
south. The rock formations in this region, which is a part of the Tibetan
Plateau, are providing fascinating views. |
|
 |
On
route you will see Dhaulagiri with its famous icefalls, Nilgiri,
Annapurna I in the Annapurna range, as well as Manaslu and the so called Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre).
