MUKTINATH
Muktinath is one of the important places of pilgrimage for the Hindus. The famous temple of Lord Muktinath lies in the district of Mustang. This temple is situated on a high mountain range and is visited by devotees during the hot season, especially during Hindu festivals like Janai Poornima and Ram Navami. Muktinath, situated about 18 kilometers Northeast of Jomsom at an altitude of about 3,749 metres, is a favourite among trekkers too. There are two ways to reach Muktinath from Kathmandu. The first way is to take a direct flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara and from Pokhara to Jomsom and hike for a couple of hours via Kagbeni. The next route is to trek all the way from Pokhara. Trekkers are allowed to proceed beyond Kagbeni and the high trail from Jomsom to Tilicho is by organised group only.
