Why Visit Muktinath?
Muktinath Temple, located at an altitude of 3,710 meters in the Mustang district of Nepal, is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for both Hindus and Buddhists. Known as the “place of liberation,” it is believed that bathing in the 108 holy water spouts (Mukti Dharas) and the two sacred ponds (Mukti Kunds) grants moksha, or salvation from the cycle of rebirth.
This ancient temple sits against the backdrop of snow-covered peaks, clear blue skies, and fresh Himalayan air. The entire journey to Muktinath is one of inner peace and outer beauty, making it one of Nepal’s most cherished spiritual destinations.
