Jomsom

Simply the magical place was the first reaction when we got off the plane. The bluest of sky, the brightest of sunshine and snow-capped mountains on the south, they were all the first experience for me.

There is no any brides for vehicles across the river. A ferry is operated and people of Bhojpur depends on its functionality. There is a suspension trail bridge which is one of the longest in Nepal.
