Jomsom is a small town in the upper Kali
Gandaki valley in Nepal, at an altitude of 2770 m. Jomsom is the capital
of Mustang District and lies on the Annapurna Circuit. The place possesses
an airfield, which is approached from Pokhara and therefore Jomsom is
often used as the start or completion of a trekking holiday. A training
unit of Alpine troops of the royal Nepalese army is likewise stationed
there. Nearby is the famous pilgrimage site Muktinath. A few kilometres
south lie the most well-known area of cultivation of apples and of
apricots in Nepal. It also contains a water purification site and a police
checkpoint. It is approximately 10 kilometres from Kagbeni, Mustang,
Nepal. |
