of 22 reviews
Generic placeholder image

Overview

Muktinath is a sacred spiritual site where people visit for the purpose of spiritual liberation. Taking a holy bath in the 108 water fountains and a dip into the natural hot spring gets one rid of physical tiredness and brings spiritual joy. It is a beautiful mountain surrounding which is reached via Jomsom and Kagbeni. Jomsom is an astounding mountain town which is just 17 minutes scenic mountain flight from Pokhara. Nestled amidst the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range in the Himalayas, Jomsom casts an aromatic fresh mountain air with spectacular landscapes around. The walk to Kagbeni and then to Muktinath from Jomsom is a Himalayan blessing that brings enlightenment about the mountain life, culture, terrain, and atmosphere. Walking along the sacred Kali Gandki River is a joyful journey.
