If you are heading to Jomosom from Muktinath(or vice-versa) you can hike the main trail which is easy but busy and is now used by motor vehicles (motor bikes) or you can choose one of these alternative routes visiting the Bonpo village of Lupra. The green trail follows the usual track down until you are above Eklebhatti. Take the trail on the left contouring round the mountain, then dropping down to the Panda Khola and into Lupra. Follow the stream down to the Kali Gandaki to finish your walk into Jomosom.The red trail takes you from Jharkot gently up to a ridge before dropping down to the Panda Khola. The blue route starts from the western end of Muktinath and is fairly flat at first, rising to a ridge before dropping down to the Panda Khola. The map then shows the trail contouring around the hillside to reach Lupra but it may be possible to follow the river bed. The pink trail shows a route starting in Muktinath as before (blue route) but joining the red route from Jharkot. On a clear day you should have good views of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche and Nilgiri as you cross the ridge on the red or blue trails. Be aware that crossing the Panda Khola may be difficult when it is in spate.
