About: Jomsom

Such stones are believed to be found only in the Kali Gandaki, and are holy to the Hindus.

  • Jomsom (auch Jomosom) (Nepali जोमसोम) ist ein Dorf und ein Village Development Committee im oberen Kali-Gandaki-Tal in Nepal und liegt auf einer Höhe von 2770 m. Jomsom ist der Hauptort des Distriktes Mustang und liegt am Annapurna Circuit. Der Ort besitzt einen Flugplatz, der von Pokhara aus angeflogen wird und daher häufig Ausgangs- oder Endpunkt für Trekkingtouren ist. Ebenfalls ist dort eine Ausbildungseinheit der Hochgebirgsjäger der nepalesischen Armee stationiert. Am südlichen Ortsende ist das Mustang Eco Museum mit einer Fotogalerie, einer Sammlung von örtlichen Kostümen und einer Bücherei zu finden. Seit 2008 führt eine unbefestigte Straße (für Jeeps und Motorräder befahrbar) von Pokhara nach Jomsom und weiter zur berühmten Pilgerstätte von Muktinath. Wenige Kilometer südlich liegt das Apfel- und Aprikosenanbaugebiet Nepals (Marpha, Tukuche). (de)

  • Jomosom est une ville du Népal, située à 2 850 m d’altitude dans le district de Mustang. C'est une importante ville de garnison dont la position stratégique privilégiée sur la Kâlî Gandakî permettait jadis de contrôler tout passage entre les basses vallées du Népal et le plateau tibétain. Son nom est d'ailleurs une déformation d'un mot tibétain « dzong sum » qui signifie « les trois forteresses ». Au recensement de 2011, la ville comptait 1 370 habitants. Située au pied du Nilgiri, dans la chaîne des Annapurnas, Jomoson est équipé depuis 1962 d'un petit aéroport. (fr)
