Muktinath, located in Nepal’s Mustang district, is one of the most cherished pilgrimage destinations in South Asia. Known as Mukti Kshetra or the Place of Liberation, it holds equal importance for Hindus and Buddhists. Pilgrims believe that a visit to Muktinath Temple grants salvation and freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth. Every year, thousands of devotees from India and around the world travel to this sacred shrine to seek blessings, peace, and spiritual fulfilment.
For travellers from India, Gorakhpur is one of the most convenient gateways to Muktinath. With its proximity to the Nepal border, smooth road connections, and easy access to flights, Gorakhpur serves as the perfect starting point for this sacred journey. Musafircab offers an affordable and customizable Gorakhpur to Muktinath Tour Package, designed to provide a seamless and enriching travel experience.
Muktinath Temple — A Sacred Pilgrimage Destination
Situated at an altitude of 3,710 meters in the Mustang region, Muktinath Temple is not just a religious site but also a symbol of spiritual enlightenment.
- For Hindus, It is one of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The sacred 108 water spouts (Muktidhara) allow devotees to bathe and wash away their sins. The temple is also associated with the belief of attaining moksha (liberation).
- For Buddhists, Muktinath is associated with Guru Padmasambhava, who is believed to have meditated at this site. The eternal flame at the temple (Jwala Mai) is a unique combination of fire and water, representing the harmony of nature.
Thus, the temple becomes a shared place of devotion, attracting both pilgrims and travellers seeking inner peace.
