This
trek boasts some spectacular mountain views, and
the route actually crosses to the other side of
the main Himalayan range for views of the northern
flanks. From the Kali Gandaki valley you can make
excursions to either the 1950 French Annapurna
North Face Base Camp or the Dhaulagiri Base Camp.
From Kagbeni a steep climb reaches Muktinath,
an important place of pilgrimage for both Hindus
and Buddhists. Well-to-do Indians fly in to Jomsom
and walk or ride horses to Muktinath. The town
is set in a grove of the trees and has a Buddhist
Gompa and a pagoda-style temple of Vishnu Mandir
containing an image of Vishnu. From the temple
wall a 108 waterspouts, cast in the shape of cow
heads, pour forth sacred water. Even more sacred
is the water that issues from a rock inside the
ancient Tibetan–style Jwala Mai temple a
short distance below the pagoda. |
