KALIGANDAKI VALLEY TREKKING

Trip code NAP-KGD

This trek is follows the Kali Gandaki valley between the soaring peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri and then emerges north of the main Himalayan range, on the dry desert like Tibetan Plateau. This trek is a classic trek which is considered as one of the best trekking trails in the world. The views of the mountains are spectacular, and the route actually crosses to the other side of the main Himalayan range for some unusual views of the northern flanks. The final destination of the trek is the holy temple of Muktinath, the sacred pilgrimage of Hindu’s and Buddhist’s, with great religious significance.

This trek starts from Pokhara, and then heads north along the traditional trade route towards the Tibetan villages via Birethanhti and Tirkhedunga to Ghorepani then trekking trail follows the Kali Gandaki River valley from the Hindu lowlands in the south to the Buddhist villages and people in the upper valley.

The lower Mustang region surrounding Jomsom, Kagbeni and Muktinath is characterized by alpine plateau landscape similar to the rugged Tibetan topography. The people of the lower Mustang region are of Tibetan ethnicity and the trek up the Kali Gandaki River across desert like mountain gorges provides an experience of a lifetime. From Muktinath descending to your treks and end at Jomsom.
