Visit Marpha – A traditional mountain village in Himalayas

Visit Marpha Mustang

After passing the Throng La 5415m, we have one rest day. And we keep that rest day to visit Marpha. As we planned the day before we started to walk from Jomsom to Marpha at 8:30 am in the morning. To walk from Jomsom to Marpha is easy and mostly needs to walk on the road.

We have a beautiful day to walk Marpha. Sunshine, blue sky, and an amazing mountain view. But a bit windy from the opposite side of the morning. Still walking was fun on the windy and dusty road. While we were walking we heard and show flying plans from and to Josmosm.

After one and half hours later we reached Marpha. Marpha is an authentic mountain village loaded in Mustang Nepal. Also, this place is known as the kingdom of an Apple. Therefore here you must test apple pie or other apple items. We drank a cup of local coffee and test the delicious apple pie.

We walked one end to the other end of the village. Walk on the well-paved stone streets and all-white painted traditional houses are truly eye-catching. The Apple orchard is full of apples on the trees. And those apples are enjoying the view of the snowy mountain peaks and stranding against the strong winds from the mountains and Kaligandaki river.

Luckily today there was the annual celebration going on in the monastery. We enjoyed that and then back to Jomsom. Because today was our last day in the mountain as the next day we have to fly to Pokhara. After back in Jomsom I reconfirm the flight ticket to Pokhara.

Overall we had another beautiful day in the Himalayas. In the evening we celebrated our last night of the trip and slept early to wake up early the next day to fly out from Jomsom.
