Kali Gandaki Valley Trek is also known as Jomsom Muktinath Trek and Muktinath Pilgrimage Trek. It is located in the lower Mustang Region. It is a relatively easy trek. Muktinath Temple is around 3800 meters, so acclimatization is needed to avoid mountain sickness. Trekkers can see different snow-capped Himalayas and diverse flora and fauna. During the Trek, you walk through the world's deepest gorge- Kali Gandaki.
Barley, rice, millet, potatoes, and other seasonal vegetables are grown in the Trekking Area. The first part of the Trek is Poon Hill. It is the best viewpoint of white peaks, hills, and gorges in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri regions. Walking through the rhododendron forest, you reach Tatopani (natural hot spring). After heading through the Kali Gandaki River valley, the jaw-dropping rock walls make the trek awe-inspiring. The sacred stone (Shaligram) is found on the banks of the River. Several waterfalls lie on the way. Reaching Kalopani and Marpha, you move towards Kagbeni, a gateway to Upper Mustang. The apple orchard in Kaligandaki Valley Trekking is lovely. Marpha is known as the delightful apple capital of Nepal, and it also makes brandy, cider, and Apple pie from apples. Thakali people from Thakkhola are renowned for serving delicious meals. Typical Nepali food- Dal Bhat is what they offer the most. Muktinath Temple is a step ahead from here. Muktinath Trek is equally famous among pilgrimage devotees. Hindu and Buddhist followers undertake this journey to atone for their lifetime sins. The tour ends in Jomsom after you retrace from Muktinath.
