Day 03: Fly to Jomsom and excursion around Jomsom.
A relaxed start to the day today after the exertions of yesterday. After a late breakfast you can wander up to the temples and explore there, most likely in the company of many other pilgrims, both Nepalese and Indian. Tibetan trinket sellers display their wares by the roadside. Woven cloth in red and black stripes is made locally and is particularly typical of the area. You begin by walking over a dry section of the riverbed to reach the small settlement of Eklaibhatti which means alone house, but the original lodge here is now joined to other buildings. As you walk down the valley, look out for ammonites fossils among the pebbles. These are sacred to Hindus who call them Shaligrams. You cross the suspension bridge and walk along a trail on the bank of the Kaligandaki river until you reach Jomsom so as to avoid the motor road. Jomsom - the administrative headquarters of the Mustang District is a rather dusty, characterless town with a STOL airstrip, police station, army camp, banks and shops. It is also normally possible to telephone from here. The Kaligandaki is called Thak Khola here and the local people belong to the ethnic group known as Thakali, an enterprising and ambitious community who formerly dominated the salt trade with Tibet as it passed down this valley. After the collapse of this trade in the 1950s, they diversified into other businesses, most notably to running hotels along the trek routes. Their former wealth is reflected in their fine villages, the principle ones that you visit being Marpha and Tukuche. (Overnight at deluxe hotel on BB basis)
