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.
