A Strategic Location
Jomsom sits at about 2,700 m on the well-known Annapurna Circuit. It’s an essential hub for those travelling across the Himalayas, offering a launch pad for treks into Mustang or on to Muktinath. Surrounded by snow-capped Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri peaks and the Kali Gandaki River, it delivers breathtaking mountain views. Despite its small size, Jomsom has stores, cafés, hotels and guesthouses that meet travellers’ modern needs.
A Perfect Base To Explore
Pilgrims and trekkers often overnight in Jomsom to visit the sacred Muktinath Temple and Kagbeni Dham. Adventure-seekers use it as the starting point for hikes towards Lo Manthang, Upper Mustang and the Annapurna Circuit. Because the village has become more accessible, domestic and international visitor numbers have grown rapidly, creating a thriving hospitality scene.
