The Jomsom trek is a wonderful opportunity to witness the beauty of the Annapurna region with a shorter trek. The 6 day trek to Jomsom is essentially the last third of the Annapurna circuit. The trip starts just north of the city of Pokhara and winds through the Poon Hill area and then passes the Dhaulagiri icefall giving you a prime view of all the mountains. After reaching Jomsom the trek heads up toMuktinath, an important pilgrimage place for Buddhists and Hindu's which lies on the Tibetan border. This area gives you a look at the high and dry landscape that is the Tibetan plateau. The trek ends with a plane ride from Jomsom to Pokhara and then to Kathmandu. This is one of the lower elevation treks that we offer rising to only 3800 m. If you do'nt have time you can just use to way flights to visit Jomsom and Muktinath part only.

Trekker's Opinion about Annapurna:

Experiences of our clients and others submitted in Lonely Planet Travel Forum:

I did the Poon Hill loop late one February and did the trek up to Jomsom another February.
It was a bit cold at night at the higher elevations but warm down lower. Puddles were frozen in the morning but thawed during the day. A fleece jacket and cap was all I needed. Don't recall ever putting on my gloves.If you're from Sweden you'll probably be hiking in a t-shirt.
We had one day of rain on the way up. Just stayed in the lodge and relaxed.
Skies were generally bright and mostly clear. Great views. Other than the one rainy day clouds were not an issue. Of course that's no guarantee that things will be the same for you.

Chances are you will have cold and possibly snow at Muktinath (3800m) - however, mid-day temps will likely be very pleasant. Below 3000m the weather will likely be quite mild. If you climb up Poon Hill to see the sunrise over Dhalaugiri and the Annapurnas, a warm jacket, hat and mitts while you are standing around waiting for the sun's arrival will be appreciated. The Kali Ghandaki river flats from Marpha to Kagbeni experience high winds daily - year 'round and in the winter these can be cold. Plan your days in this area to start early. The winds usually begin about 10 to 10:30 am and continue through until mid afternoon or later. They whip up the sand and can make walking (facing into the wind) somewhat challenging. A light cotton scarf and goggle style sun glasses are helpful if you must push on. Muktinath, itself, can be a rather bleak and cold place to stay overnight in February if the weatherman doesn't cooperate. Descending to Jharkhot, a more sheltered village, may be more enjoyable.
