The day starts with a scenic flight from Pokhara to Jomsom, a gateway to the Mustang region and the trans-Himalayan landscape. From Jomsom, a drive through arid, dramatic valleys brings you to Muktinath, a revered pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Set at an altitude of 3,800 meters, the temple is known for its eternal flame and the 108 waterspouts where devotees perform purification rituals. The surrounding landscape offers a surreal contrast to the greenery of previous days, providing a unique Himalayan experience.
