The Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and has 108 waterspouts around it from which Holy water pours. Another attraction nearby is the Jwala Mai Temple this contains a spring and an eternal flame fed by natural underground gas. Overnight at Guest house.
After Thorang la crossing you are in Mustang Valley, dry land, windy valley, more like desert, your trek goes descend to Jahrkot which is old traditional village and civilization of Mustang and trek continue goes down to Jomsom along the kali gandaki river bank.
Trekking trail is rocky still its not to bad walk on it but the bloody wind really bother you too much, it hits on your face some time doesn’t let you walk too.

This was my first trekking experience & I was apprehensive about the trip coz it could be tough for a newbie. However, Santosh, Raz & Rom (guide & porters) were patient & caring towards us 4 petite ladies, & we eventually made it to Thorong La Pass as planned. We also went paragliding & river rafting to end off an unforgettable 14 days of adventure. Many thanks to Sali and his team, they did a fantastic job & we'll definitely recommend Mountain World for any Nepal treks :)

Mountain World Treks truly listened to my needs and took good care of me as a solo female traveler. I told Saligram, the owner, that I wanted to see different temples in KTM in addition to trekking and he made sure that it happened. During the trekking around the Annapurna Circuit, my guide Sudip took very good care of me and made sure that I was safe, fed, and had a great experience. Saligram and his team cares about their guests and I really felt like an actual guest, not a tourist! I highly recommend Mountain World Treks to solo and group trekkers and travelers wishing to visit Nepal for the first time or returning visitors.

I did the Annapurna Circuit Trek in November of 2013 with Saligram. It was tough picking a guide with so many options out there. I'm glad I choose his company, since we were in good hands. When I was there the country was going through elections, so Saligram had to account for strikes and unrest. Having someone that was confident and knowledgeable came in handy in this situation. He handled my bags with care and guided me through the airport on this adventure. I spend about 4-5 on the trek with him as a guide and his porter who did a great job. I felt that he would do whatever was needed to make sure I was happy. I plan on going back to Nepal and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.

This is now my fourth trip to Nepal and each time I have used Mountain World Treks. Saligram always makes sure that every thing is well organised and that all needs are met. My guide Bikalpa was very attentive and looked after me throughout the trip, helping whenever needed and making the trip fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the trek, and definitely would use this company once again. I would not doubt recommend using this company ( having used them several times now, now that speaks volumes.)

I trekked the Annapurna Circuit in October -I didn't book the tour with Sali but wish I had! My own guide was very inexperienced and not very knowledgable but luckily I met 3 South Africans at the start of the trek who had Sali as their guide and I basically became part of their group. Sali had no problem with this, welcomed me and treated me as if he were my guide. Sali added a great lot to my trekking experience -he's extremely organised in booking decent lodges to stay at and on the trek itself about what to expect. He was also very supportive and SO knowledge about everything Nepal! He's a good laugh and is now one of my friends. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with him if you want to get to know Nepal and have an honest opinion about life there.

We were recommended Mountain World Treks, specifically its company owner Saligram, three years ago from a friend who met Sali during his Everest Base Camp trek. At the time my friend was doing the trek with another company but was so impressed with Sali (who was guiding a separate group) both from his own conversations and the feedback of others he spoke with that he did not hesitate to suggest Sali as our “go to” man in Nepal. Finally, three years later my husband and I made our way to Nepal to do the Annapurna Circuit trek. I’d have to say that two of the BEST things about dealing with Sali prior to commencing the trek was that firstly as a local Nepalese we were supporting a local business and secondly he can tailor any trek to suit your needs. Through previous research we found that the tours offered by larger companies were set in stone but with Sali he tailored it exactly to what we were looking for in terms of enjoyment, budget and timing. We even did our tour privately with just my husband and I (plus Sali and a Porter) for the same price as doing a larger group trek…where else can you get a super deal like that!!! Upon arrival in Kathmandu, Sali showed us the utmost in Nepalese hospitality with a beautiful homemade lunch with his family and a relaxed, albeit insightful, tour of the sights. Throughout our entire time in Nepal, any question we asked of Sali he knew the answer too…even the height and names of all the mountains we passed on our trek. Talk about impressive!!! Furthermore, his spoken English is as good as a native english speaker, which definitely made our lives easier! The trek was a once in a lifetime experience. The beauty of the circuit is that you never see the same thing twice…every day is a different day. We started off in lush greenery, which felt as if we were walking through the set of Jurassic Park movie, and then slowly made our way past the tree line and into the beauty of the rocky and snow tipped mountains. I’d highly recommend travelling to Nepal in September too as you beat the chaos during the peak season of October and the changing colours – pinks, yellows, oranges – off the wheat and grain fields will take your breath away (this will have past come October). Sali loves to laugh, teach Nepalese card games, do magic tricks, and proudly show you his stunning home, Nepal. I couldn’t have wished or hoped for a more enjoyable experience than the one that Sali provided us. We have memories to last a lifetime and for that we can only say THANK YOU Sali and Mountain World Treks. We look forward to returning for another trek in the years ahead xxx

Namaste! Me & my now husband went to Nepal for a 3 week trek around the Annapurna Circuit. Saligram was our Guide & boy what a job he did. He is a great guy who is very good at his job. He made our trip one to remember & we will definitely be going back once the little ones are a bit older (& we will certainly be using Saligram again). I cannot recommend him highly enough! Fantastic trip!!!
