HOLY
TREK TO MUKTINATH 11 DAYS
Situated
behind the Annapurna range, the temple of
Muktinath is venerated by both Hindus and
Buddhists. The faithful trek to the shrine
to bathe under the bank of water spouts here
and worship the sacred flame. We fly to Pokhara
and then drive to New Bridge (Naya Pool) where
we hit the main Annapurna trail.Walking uphill
to Ghodepani and on to Tatopani, we cross
the Kali Gandaki river and then head up the
awesome Kali Gandaki Gorge. The route to Ghasa
affords a magnificent view of Annapurna South
and squeezes through the steepdst and narrowest
part of the canyon. Tukche used to be an important
trading village straddling the route to Tibet
where merchants met to barter rice and barley
from Nepal for salt and wool from Tibet. Marpha
is another fascinating village with its stone
houses and narrow paved alleys. We then walk
through Jomsom to Muktinath and return to
Jomsom for the flight to Pokhara.
