The Annapurna Jomsom Trek is an excellent adventure trek that offers ample opportunity to witness the richness of the culture and desert that exists in the Annapurna region. And in this region a Tibetan-influenced village, prayer wheels, chortens and a Buddhist monastery follow the Kaligandaki River through Jomsom, the world’s deepest gorge; Annapurna Himal on one side and Dhaulagiri on the other side. The river freezes in winter and is drained by rainwater and snowmelt in summer and monsoon. On the banks of the Kali Gandaki, which flows into the Kaligandaki river that flows from here, are found black fossilized stones called Shaligrams, which are considered iconic symbols and reminders of Lord Vishnu in Hindu culture. Such stones are found only in Kaligandaki and the black fossilized stones called Shaligrams are considered sacred by all.
