"Nepal, the synonym of "Nature, Culture, and Adventure"
once is not enough"
Annapurna Region Trekking in Nepal considers as one of the best treks in the world. Although road construction is threatening its reputation and as also a classic trek. Yet no one disputes that the scenery is outstanding and more explorable. The Jomsom trek is also commonly known as a part of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. It begins from Pokhara which passes through the Valley of Kali Gandaki River to a pilgrim site of Muktinath.
