Beautiful Muktinath

The famous temple of Muktinath is situated between the mountains of mustang district. The main shrine is a pagoda shaped temple dedicated to Lord Bishnu. Visitors can enjoy magnificent views of the Himalayas, fabulous valley of kaligandaki and the diversity of ethnic culture. The temple is situated on a high mountain range and is accessible during fair weather. Thakalis people's  food is one of the best in Nepal ,we recommend to taste it. View of wonderful Dhaulagiri Icefall, Nilgiri, Tukuche peak many popular and non popular mountains.


In front of Muktinath Temple there are 2 Kunda ,name of Laxmi and saraswoti kunda, it called also Mukti Kunda. Where holy dip is believed it can wash away negative karma, the results of one's past negative actions.

Around the temple is a wall from the temple which there are 108 waterspouts  name of Muktidhara. The 108 faucets in the cast in the shape of bulls' heads, Hindu devotees take bath under chilled water of 108 waterspouts Muktidhara believing that it brings them salvation.This area as center of Tourist attraction. We can trekking  from Pokhara to Jomsom via Beni, Ghasa, Tato pani,Tukuche, Marfa, when we can get different experience. There are only 4 WD jeep services from Jomsom to near by Muktinath. 
I loved the whole experience of trekking in the Himalaya. I haven't seen such vast spaces or such high mountains before.
