Jomsom & Lower Mustang Travel Guide

The gateway to Muktinath and Lower Mustang: dry Himalayan landscapes, Kali Gandaki valley and a very different travel rhythm.

WHY VISIT

Jomsom & Lower Mustang Travel Guide

Jomsom and Lower Mustang are not simply another sightseeing stop. Road conditions, altitude, weather and the long mountain sector change how the trip has to be planned. For Muktinath travellers, Jomsom is the practical staging point; for leisure travellers it also gives access to Marpha, the Kali Gandaki valley and the trans-Himalayan landscape. Keep buffer time and do not build a tight onward connection immediately after the mountain sector.
