Pokhara to Jomsom
- Details
- Category: Cycling
Jomsom, a modern town is the 'Thakali' homeland. Thakali people are of Tibetan
origin but have their own language and customs. We fly to Jomsom from Kathmandu
and initially we ride through a popular trekking trial which leads us to many
different wonderful villages rich in cultural and architectural point of view.
The rocky wide and small track slowly descends to meet a paved road which takes
to the beautiful Pokhara city on the day 5. Unlike the rest of the Nepalese
Himalayas, the Annapurna mountain range does not form the border between Nepal
and Tibet.
