The major advantage of this that even
the Dhaulagiri Ice falls are only 13,000ft/ 3,962m, and
with muktinath being little over 12,000ft / 3,658m,
altitude is not much problem. Therefore not 'strenuous' by
our definition but there are sections that are testing any
standers. This trek has a two
different option that you can choose either fly into
jomsom or fly out from jomsom The trek takes you one of
the deepest gorges in the world giving you close up view
of two of the highest peaks Annapurna 26,545ft the twelfth
highest and the Dhaulagiri, 26,794ft ninth. This is major
trade route with trains of laden mules bringing goods from
mustang; the tea houses are some of the best in Nepal, run
by the Thakalis people, a race of the people who have been
trade for centuries. |
