Muktinath Tour Package Overview

Muktinath Tour Package combines all the possibilities of visiting major pilgrimage sites in Nepal. Muktinath is the spiritual epicentre of salvation and liberation in the district of Jomsom. It is highly revered for its wonderful pilgrimage needs, accompanied by the Hindusim and Buddism religious epics. The Muktinath Tour Package is a pure spiritual blend of the visit to multiple places in Kathmandu and Pokhara along with the mindblowing Muktinath itself. 

Situated 48 Km northeast of Jomsom, Muktinath temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It lies at an altitude of 3749 m and offers a mindblowing trans Himalayan beauty in the district of Jomsom. The temple of Muktinath is a pagoda-shaped temple surrounded by 108 water sprouts and 2 holy ponds. While religious beliefs are the major reason for pilgrims to visit Muktinath temple, it is also remarkably known for the diverse geographical spectrums and wonderful settlement from where you can see the astounding Himalayan views. 

Taking a bath in the icy-cold holy pond at Muktinath is believed to wipe off all the sins and liberate. A glimpse of Muktinath is believed to bring good fortune to life and salvation of the soul to get rid of the cycle of birth and rebirth. Especially during some festivals, such as Janai Purnima, in some specific days and Tithi, to pay homage to the Lord Muktinath,  embarks a lot of people. However, all year round, devotees visit Muktinath temple and worship here. Muktinath Tour Package’s major attraction is Muktinath temple. There lies the Kaligandaki River in the Mustang where the Muktinath temple is located. The amniote fossils, Shaligrams, found in the river are believed to be the embodiment of Lord Vishnu. 

The temple of Jwaladevi, around 100 m south of Muktinath temple, is another attraction that lures both the Hindu and Buddhists visitors. The goddess of the eternal flame representing the primaeval of life is another thing to explore in Muktinath. Some gompas are in the surrounding which truly gives the glimpses on the Buddhist lifestyle and Culture. 

Foremost, the temple is a centre of core religious and spiritual values. But besides, the atmosphere and surrounding of the Muktinath temple are equally soothing and the flight to the Jomsom is adventurous. Also, the beauty of Pokhara and surrounding is indescribable. Strolling around the lake and visiting the different temples and caves in Pokhara will truly astonish you while accompanying you with a comprehensive pilgrimage fulfilment.
