About Jomsom
This Mustang gateway bakes under relentless dry winds that sculpt the landscape into alien earth-tone mountains and deep canyons. Jomsom itself sits at 2,713 metres where the Kali Gandaki River carves the world's deepest gorge—cliffs tower 5,000 metres above the churning water. The thin air tastes of dust and ancient stone.
