This
trek opened in October 1991 to trekkers under a special
permit is the most popular and fascinating trekking in
Nepal. Most of the people of this region are influenced
by Tibetan culture. This route, almost treeless barren
Landscape, steep rocky trail up and down the hill and
eye-catching panoramic views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna,
Nilgiri and many other beautiful peaks is a very attractive
trekking destination. This trekking has been made for
21 days but it can be shortened to 14 days using both
way flights to and from Jomsom.
