The Muktinath – Jomsom Trek with Shalom Treks is a spiritually rich and scenic journey through the rain-shadow region of the lower Mustang district, connecting the sacred Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site of Muktinath with the windy trans-Himalayan town of Jomsom. Known for its unique blend of mountain desert terrain, Kali Gandaki Gorge, and centuries-old monasteries, this moderate trek offers diverse culture, dramatic views of Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri, and a deep spiritual experience. Organized by Shalom Treks, this safe and customizable trek is ideal for both adventure seekers and pilgrims, delivered by a trustworthy trekking agency in Nepal.

Essential Info
- Even though the trek is not extremely high, the quick altitude gain can affect some trekkers. Spend a night in Kagbeni or nearby villages before ascending to Muktinath.
- Jomsom and Muktinath are known for strong afternoon winds and cold mornings. Bring windproof clothing, warm layers and sun protection for midday exposure.
- While tea houses offer bottled water, it's more eco-friendly and cost-effective to treat your own water using purification tablets or UV filters.
- Muktinath is sacred to both religions. Remove shoes before entering temple areas, do not touch sacred statues or items, and remain quiet during rituals.
- Lodges in this region are clean but basic. Electricity, hot showers and Wi-Fi may be limited. Shalom Treks ensures your accommodation is booked and reliable.
- Most trekkers fly in or out of Jomsom. Flights are scenic but often delayed due to weather. Alternatively, prepare for a bumpy but adventurous jeep ride to Pokhara.
- There are no ATMs along the trail. Carry enough Nepali rupees for food, entrance fees, and small offerings at temples or monasteries.
- Autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) are the best times for this trek. Winter can be cold and summer rains can affect travel logistics.
