Jomsom Route ( outside pokhaa)



Trek to the Annapurna Himalayan range starts from Baglung but there is another route too.

Jomsom trek can also be started from Baglung Bus Parkin Aarchalbot. An hour bus ride will take us to Nayapool from where we start walking uphill towards a gurung village known as Ghankruk. Including this we can also take a direct flight to Jomsom from Pokhara. It is just 20 minutes flight from the Pokhara airport to Jomson. Some people do prefer flight and trek all the way back to Pokhara.

A caravan of horses and carrying donkeys going towards Kagbeni which is a 5 hour walk from Jomsom for normal walking people. This is the main source of transportation in this region. The river shown in the snap is River Kali Gandaki known to be the sister of Seti river. The difference is Seti river is white and Kali is black. In Nepali language White means Seti and Black means Kali.
