Muktinath Temple Tour is a spiritual journey to one of Nepal’s most sacred destinations, located at an elevation of 3710 meters in the Mustang district. Revered by both Hindus and Buddhists, Muktinath (meaning “Salvation of God”) is visited by thousands seeking freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth.
The tour begins with a scenic flight to Pokhara, followed by a flight from Pokhara to Jomsom. From Jomsom, a jeep ride takes you to Muktinath Temple, where you will explore the small pagoda-style shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Hindus worship Muktinath as one of the eight most virtuous holy temples, while Buddhists recognize it as one of the 24 Tantric sacred sites.
Pilgrims can take a ritual bath in the 108 icy water spouts believed to cleanse sins, and a dip in the holy Mukti Kund ponds located in front of and behind the temple. Nearby, the Jwala Mai Temple, also called the Goddess of Flame, features a mysterious underground blue flame, said to have been lit by Brahma himself.
After completing the rituals, the journey returns to Pokhara and then to Kathmandu. Along the way, a stop at Manakamana Temple in Gorkha District allows pilgrims to ride a cable car and enjoy panoramic views of hills, terraced farms, and lush orange orchards.
The Muktinath Temple Tour offers a perfect blend of spirituality, culture, and breathtaking Himalayan scenery without the need for strenuous high-altitude trekking. Eternal Himalaya ensures safe, comfortable travel and a memorable pilgrimage experience.
