The wind on the way to Jomsom was strong.
Muktinath is a beautiful town filled with both Hindu and Buddhist temples and encompassed by over 100 rivers and streams, making this a popular pilgrimage site for Nepalis and Indians. Although beautiful, I think I was more overwhelmed by our first hot shower in almost 2 weeks! We enjoyed our time in Muktinath shooting the breeze with our friends-Manny and Jason (two firefighters from Sacramento of all places!) and said a farewell to our lifesaver, Prem, as he made his way back to Manang. We started the last day of our trek walking down a river valley through poplar trees and streams until we reached the dry desertous town of Eklai Bhatti. From there it was a 2 hour flat walk to Jomsom, with one last catch, we had to contend with head-on 50mph gale force winds and dust the entire way. Here we thought the final home stretch of our trek would be a piece of cake, but as we've learned, nothing in Nepal is easy!
