landscapes and the world's deepest gorge - the Kali Gandaki Gorge.
Muktinath is
a unique religious centre that has links to Hinduism and Buddhism. This temple,
located 20 km northeast of Jomsom, derives its name from two words:
"Mukti" and "Nath". Mukti in Nepal refers to liberation or
freedom, while "Nath" means a god. Therefore, people think that
anyone who visits this place will achieve liberation or freedom. The Hindus
also consider the Muktinath temple to be the residence of Lord Vishnu.
Muktinath is
also a temple that is highly valued by followers of the Buddhist faith. Guru
Rinpoche, considered the creator of Tibetan Buddhism believed to have mediated
Muktinath on his way to Tibet.
At

the Muktinath Temple is the only place on earth where the five elements that
are considered the epitome of life (fire, water, sky, earth, and air) exist in
the same place.

Enjoyable Pilgrimage Trip: Muktinath Tour Review
My wife and
I visited the Muktinath temple during our Nepal tour. The trip was by
helicopter from Pokhara. The view was amazing along the route. The temple
itself was very beautiful and I found it a deeply spiritual experience to
shower under the 108 jets of icy water and enjoy the sun and vibes of the
temple. Thank you, Kishor for your kind service during our trip to Nepal.
