Trek-14 Days |
 |
Jomsom is more correctly
known as Dzongsam or New Fort. It spreads over both the banks
of the Kali Gandaki. The towering peaks of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri
form an attractive backdrop. Being the district headquarters,
it is primarily an administrative and commercial center with
government officials and merchants rubbing shoulders with the
local inhabitants of the region, known as the Thakalis. It has
a wireless station, a police station, a bank, a hospital and
a veterinary hospital. A company of the Nepalese Army is stationed
here. Nearby is an airfield, from where flights operate regularly.
However, due to the strong winds that buffet the area in the
afternoons, the airfield is functional only in the forenoon.
