Jomsom up the Kali Gandaki River passes through a gap in
the Himalayan barrier in the bottom of the deepest river
canyon in the world. The valley of the kali Gandaki
River that runs between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna
Mountain. It offers good views of the mountains with
spectacular and varied scenery on the way. The abrupt
variation in altitude found here is astonishing.
