Jomsom (Nepali: जोमसोम), (Ward No. 4 of Gharpajhong Rural Municipality) also known as Dzongsam (New Fort) is the centre of Gharapjhong rural municipality in Mustang district and a former independent village development committee situated at an altitude of about 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) in Gandaki Province of western Nepal. The soaring peaks of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri form a backdrop to the town straddling the Kali Gandaki River, which flows right through the centre of Jomsom. Along the banks of the Kali Gandaki, black fossilised stones called shaligram, considered as an iconic symbol and reminder of the god Vishnu in the Hindu culture, can be found. Such stones are believed to be found only in the Kali Gandaki, and are holy to the Hindus.

  • 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)
