Can I do trek?
Annapurna Jomsom Muktinath Trek is suitable
for any walker looking for something a little more challenging
and energetic. It does not require that you have any
previous trekking or mountaineering experience. Although
the terrain is not difficult, some vigorous hiking experience
is useful. And It does not require any technical experience;
only that you be in good physical conditioning and be
able to hike for 4-6 hours over hilly terrain with a
light day pack.
Do I need 14 days holiday for
Annapurna Jomsom Muktinath Trek?
It would be good, if can allow 14 days holiday for Annapurna
Jomsom Muktinath trek. We do require 12 days for trekking
and we need two more days an extra for arrival in Nepal
and departure from Nepal so altogether it requires minimum
14 days time for Nepal.
However, if you would not allow 14 days time, we can
design an itinerary according to your desire and duration
of your holiday. Please, let us know.
When is the best season?

June and September to early December.

the half of February until the first part of June temperatures
are relatively warm, 10° to 15° warmer than in the fall.
Mornings are bright and clear with the air slowly becoming
hazier as the day progresses. The rhododendron forests
in springtime are spectacular, with color displays that
are "Himalayan" in beauty. June is warm and
green with many fewer people - the sense of solitude
is much greater than other seasons.
September to half of December: September to early
December is an ideal time for the best mountain views.
The days are typically sunny and clear with moderate
temperatures and the evenings are usually quite cold.
