Note on Muktinath Tour via Flights

Muktinath tours by flight are a comfortable and time-saving option. However, Jomsom flights operate mainly during the autumn and spring seasons, when weather conditions are most favorable. Before planning your trip, it is advised to consult your travel partner for a hassle-free experience, as Jomsom flights can be affected even by small changes in weather. In case of flight disturbances, we will arrange an alternative road journey. The road conditions up to Pokhara are now good, and it takes approximately 5–6 hours to reach there, ensuring your trip continues smoothly.
