It lies to south of the village of <a href="/wiki/Kagbeni,_Mustang" title="Kagbeni, Mustang">Kagbeni</a>, a Tibetan-influenced village filled with prayer wheels, <i>chortens</i> and a Buddhist monastery. The trail passing through Jomsom follows the Kali Gandaki River which forms <a href="/wiki/Kali_Gandaki_Gorge" title="Kali Gandaki Gorge">the deepest ravine in the world</a>; on one side lies the <a href="/wiki/Annapurna_Massif" class="mw-redirect" title="Annapurna Massif">Annapurna mountain range</a> and on the other side is Dhaulagiri.

The houses in Jomsom are designed to protect the inhabitants from the strong winds that blow up the valley every day from late morning onwards. These winds are caused by differences in atmospheric pressure between the Tibetan plateau and the lower reaches of the valley. The best example of the unique architecture of this region is found in the village of Marpha which is a two-hour walk down from Jomsom, where one can find stone-flagged streets with an efficient underground drainage system and flat-roofed houses with a central courtyard, which best showcase the architecture of this area. The strong winds that blow up the valley prevent flights from taking off from Jomsom after 11am.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p><figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jomsom_Airport_2,_Mustang,_Nepal.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Jomsom_Airport_2%2C_Mustang%2C_Nepal.jpg/250px-Jomsom_Airport_2%2C_Mustang%2C_Nepal.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Jomsom_Airport_2%2C_Mustang%2C_Nepal.jpg/330px-Jomsom_Airport_2%2C_Mustang%2C_Nepal.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Jomsom_Airport_2%2C_Mustang%2C_Nepal.jpg/500px-Jomsom_Airport_2%2C_Mustang%2C_Nepal.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3072" data-file-height="2048" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Jomsom_Airport" title="Jomsom Airport">Jomsom Airport</a></figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jomsom&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Climate"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Jomsom has a cold <a href="/wiki/Semi-arid_climate" title="Semi-arid climate">semi-arid climate</a> (<a href="/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification" title="Köppen climate classification">Köppen</a> <i>BSk</i>). </p> <div> <table class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:auto;

To Hindus, Muktinath is a sacred place of salvation. They believe that bathing in the waters here guarantees salvation after death. The Hindu god, Brahma, is said to have lit the eternal flames that burn at Muktinath. To Buddhists, Muktinath is a place where the great sage Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) who brought Buddhism to Tibet, came to meditate. The area around Jomsom is a perfect place to find fossilised ammonites, known locally as <i>Shaligram</i>, which are found all along the upper reaches of the Kali Gandaki.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Most of the route along the Jomsom trek forms part of the <a href="/wiki/Annapurna_Circuit" title="Annapurna Circuit">Annapurna circuit</a> and Annapurna foothill treks.
