Muktinath is one of the popular pilgrimage destinations in Nepal, for both Hindu and Buddhist followers. It lies at an altitude of 3710m above sea level, to the north of central Nepal, on the lap of the Annapurna Himalayan range.
Every year thousands of religious pilgrims visit the temple for salvation. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one of the famous Hindu gods of protection, Muktinath has its importance. Hindus and Buddhists believe visiting the Pagoda Temple of Muktinath and dipping a bath in 108 water taps will wash away all our sins and get liberation from the circle of rebirth.
The temple Muktinath lies below the highest pass of Nepal, which is Thorong-La Pass 5416m, and above the Kaligandaki Gorge River the deepest in the world, famous for Saligram (Fossil). In between these two popular spots lies the temple of Lord Vishnu.
The area is surrounded by different Hindu and Buddhist temples and monasteries with the holy flame lighting every day from the natural gas underneath the ground.
As is one of the famous temples of Nepal foreigners can also visit the main temple shrine. The majority of the people residing in the small town of Muktinath are Tibetan by origin, but the combination of the two popular religions can be seen, as we believe Lord Buddha to be one of the reincarnations of Lord Vishnu.
