[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
No road goes to Jomsom, so pack trains, and porters bring in mostly food for tourists, and extras for locals, to make life more pleasant. (Jomsom has a tiny airport, with a genuine runway now, for very small planes. Too expensive to use for necessities. When I landed in 1996, they landed in the Kali Gandaki river bed on the rocks, by throwing the engines in reverse).
