| THE PLACE
In the middle of high Himalayan
settlements of Tibetan-speaking people is a village called Jomsom. Life
here is a balance of hard work, and ancient culture. Jomsom, at an
altitude of 2713 M., is often thought of as an attractive and even
romantic example of high-altitude settlement. There may be no other resort
in the world from where the Himalayan peaks can be admired so closely.
Giants of the Himalayan Range like Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna
Range seems almost at touching distance.
Many visitors find their most
lasting impression of Nepal comes not from the ancient temples in the
urban valleys but from visits to places like Jomsom and its exhilarating
spiritual environment. Jomsom area is not only the most popular trekking
destination in Nepal but also the gateway to Upper Mustang — "Kingdom"
within the Hindu Kingdom of Nepal. Jomsom is also the gateway to The
Muktinath shrine that holds great religious significance to both Buddhists
and Hindus. |

naturally with the local surroundings. About 500 feet below the hotel is
the Kaligandaki river which flows downstream to form the deepest gorge in
the world. The most breathtaking sight of all is in front of the hotel.
The majestic Nilgiri Mountain is visible from every room in the hotel.

| HOW TO GET THERE
Jomsom can be reached through
trekking, small aircraft or helicopter as there are no motorable roads
leading to Jomsom. About 8 daily flights connect Jomsom with Pokhara each
flight taking about 20 minutes. Pokhara is in turn connected to Kathmandu
by road and air which is about 30 minutes by air and 5 hours by road.
Usually, a short flight takes
the passengers from Kathmandu to Pokhara and then to Jomsom. The flights
to Jomsom are held early in the morning when there are no clouds covering
the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Ranges of the Himalayas, leaving most guests
thrilled even before they reach Jomsom. |
