The tour then heads towards the wind-swept town of Jomsom and the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath. Cycling through the rugged terrain of the Kali Gandaki valley, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of towering peaks, ancient monasteries, and the ever-changing landscape of the high Himalayas.
