Jomsom
Nepal
Straddling the Kali Gandaki River high in Nepal's Mustang district, Jomsom is the main gateway for treks into Upper Mustang and up to Muktinath, with Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri as a mountain backdrop. The town serves as a hub for the Annapurna Circuit and the Jomsom-Muktinath Trek, and has regular flights connecting it to Pokhara. Along the riverbanks, black fossilised stones called shaligram — considered sacred in Hindu tradition and said to be found only in the Kali Gandaki — can be collected.
