Hi!
I'll came in nepal in november, for the first time in my life!
I want to do the trek from jomsom to muktinath and to nayapul.
Someone Knows if it's possible to do the trek without a guide,in a safety way,and to book the accomodation day by day,when I''m there?
see you!
Namaste

Yes you can. No problem. Just bear in mind that while the scenery and the villages are still awesome, a lot of that particular trek is now played by motorcycles and 4wds.
This only ceases when you start climbing toward Gorepani.

Yep – Agree with above, There is thankfully still very little traffic from Jomsom Up as there is no road bridge across the kali Gandaki, so this section is still fine with only a couple of jeeps and the odd motorcycle passing you each day – But from Jomsom Down, Unfortunately this is a different matter, Personally I would skip the trek and catch a jeep down as far as Ghasa, here the old trekking route crosses to the left hand side of the valley until just before Dana, and then it’s only an hours trek to Tatopani along the road. Here I would spend the morning basking in the Hot Springs and split the long haul trekking up to Ghoropani into 2 short days. Then Up before dawn and trek up to the top of Poon Hill for Sunrise before trekking down. again, Personally, I would spend my last night at Birithanti and then you only have an hour on your final day to walk to Nayapool and the road-head – so back in Pokhara in time for lunch

No Guide Necessary, But personally I wouldn’t trek alone just in case of accident, illness or ……… and you might want to provide a little mush needed employment for a local ??

Good Luck

Did this trek in March 2009. The others are correct you should have not trouble based on my experience.

One thing though. We experienced the heavies Jeep and motorcyle traffic from Jomsom up to Muktinath not from Jomsom to Tatopani. When we arrived in Jomsom the village was full of Hindu pilgrams looking to go to Muktinath and few were walking. As I said we were passed more frequently on this stretch then lower down.
