Jomsom Muktinath Trek is a perfect blending of pilgrimage and adventurous trekking. One of the most visited sites in Nepal, Muktinath, famous for being Lord Vishnu’s domicile, lies in the Himalayan Mustang district, in the northeast of Jomsom, the district headquarters, in the elevation of 3800m at the foot of the Thorong La Mountain Pass. This temple is visited by Hindus and Buddhists alike. The place is also called Muktichettra meaning ‘place of salvation’. The Buddhists call it Chumig Gyatsa, which in Tibetan means 'Hundred Waters’.
The Muktinath Temple is one of the most sacred places of Hindus and Buddhists alike. A number of devotees from the South Asian nations, mostly those inhabited by the Hindus, visit this pilgrimage site every year. The major attractions of these temples are 108 cow-headed water spouts behind this beautiful temple. After worshiping Lord Vishnu at the Muktinath Temple, the pilgrims bathe in the ice-cold water in these taps, hoping to wash up sins!
We can reach Muktinath through a number of routes. This Jomsom Muktinath Trek, a part of Annapurna Trek, is a relatively easy Trek in the Himalayan Region in Nepal. That's why, any interested visitor with some normal health condition can take this Trek.
Jomsom valley lies between the two highest peaks Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. You can also cherish a myriad of mountains such as Manaslu I (8163m) along with Mt. Annapurna south, Mt. Annapurna II, Mt. Annapurna III, Mt. Annapurna IV, Mt. Fishtail, to name some of them. As you trek along, you will come across some really fascinating landscapes fraught with rhododendron forests on the one hand and some exotic dry lands with quite a few vegetation on the other. The major spots on this route are Muktinath, Marpha, Ghasa, Tatopani, Ghorepani, Poonhill, Tadapani,Ghandruk, Pothana and Dhampus.
The Trek starts after the flight from Pokhara to Jomsom and ends in Dhampus by trekking. Hence, Fly in Trek out. Satori Adventures offers you an ideal 15-day package. And unlike other trekking routes in the Himalayan Region in Nepal this Trek is open to all seasons of the year!
You will be escorted by some truly professional and highly experienced guides throughout.

Satori Adventures has not able to include the cost of each package in the company website. Many of our clients have the same query: why Satori Adventures has not included the price in the package. To provide you service in reasonable cost and attempt to address your each requirement we desired to provide you with some information which directly affects the cost and also helps us breakdown the cost. That’s why, we have decided to clarify our customers that due to following reasons we have not included the cost in our website and package:
Please feel free to contact Satori Adventures for any information about in your selected package.
Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal. Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries). Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.
On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.
