If you haven't enough time to
circle the Annapurna, just do half of it: fly up one
of the deepest gorges in the world – squeezing
between Annapurna I and Dhaulagiri I, both 8,000m –
and land at Jomsom (2,700m / 8,858ft) amidst the
stunning high desert scenery of the upper
Kali Gandaki river. You'll begin by visiting Muktinath, a
millennia-old holy spot, and visit ancient fortress
settlements on your way down the
Kali Gandaki. An
overnight stop at Tatopani “hot spring” prepares you
for the climb to Ghorepani and Poon Hill for a
spectacular sunrise view on the
Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range.
