Jomsom Muktinath Trekking with rafting & Chitwan National Park 19 Days

The best of three worlds: mountains, rivers, and jungles. For an introduction to mountain trekking, we walk scenic route in the Annapurna foothills near Pokhara and circle up through cool rhododendron forests and lovely Gurung villages with breathtaking views of Mt. Annapurna , Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhare. ( Fishtail).

Returning from wonderful trip in the mountains, we board a raft and set off on a leisurely floating trip down the Trishulli river which flows into the heart of the Royal Chitwan National Park .

We arrive at a rustic jungle lodge and camp where we will spend a couple of days searching for game on the back of an elephant, by dugout canoe, by jeep and on foot into the deep Terai jungle. You may see a one-horned rhinoceros, leopards, varieties of deer, the elusive Royal Bengal tiger, and any number of exotic tropical birds.

The trek takes you along the Kali Gandaki to Muktinath on the border of Mustang, which is popularly known as the Himalayan Shangri-la.

As you hike through the Kali Gandaki Valley, passing through the deepest gorge in the world; the trek finally emerges into the wide valley of Jomsom, a Himalayan Shangri-la. Beginning the trek from Nayapul after a short drive of about 45 minutes from Pokhara, the trail passes over the Ghorepani pass and descends down to Kali Gandaki valley. The views from the first rays of the sun at the break of dawn grace the pinnacles of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna from Ghorepani, creating a landscape that is absolutely magnificent to behold. Along the route, fascinating traditional villages of Gurung, Magar & Thakali will keep you enthralled day after day as you hike along the way. Once you reach Jomsom you can either trek to the famous Muktinath temple [Temple of Lord Vishnu] at 3802 meter or explore the fascinating villages around Jomsom.
