Jharkot, a village unspoilt by “Progress”
An often asked question is whether the road building has spoiled the Annapurna region from a trekkers point of view, The answer is that it hasn’t done trekking any favours BUT you can still find unspoilt villages en-route such as Jharkot. Most people bypass this village having stayed at Muktinath if coming over Thorung La, and if heading from either Jomsom or kagbeni, people tend to again push on for the more famous Muktinath.My recommendation would be to stay at Jharkot, I will let the photos do the talking, both on this tip and my new travelogue with the same title.
