Town in the district of Mustang, elevation 2,800 metres and stop-off for various treks.

My suggestion

Those who, like myself, do the hike around Annapurna during their trip to Népal may decide to end their walk at this town. Of course, I can't help but encourage you to continue towards Tatopani and beyond if you have time!

My suggestion

I liked my visit to Jomosom, but it's not generally a place you stay in for very long before moving on. If you plan on taking the plane from here to Pokhara, add time to your journey because the area suffers an unstable climate and the plane won't risk taking off under bad weather conditions.
