Muktinath is situated at an altitude of 3710m at the base of Kathang Kang or Thorung Peak, in the Gaun region in the Mustang district. It is a gateway to Mustang from Manang on the famous Annapurna Circuit Trek route in Nepal.
The Muktinath shrine, is a magnet for Hindus and Buddishts alike, it’s a religious site for both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Hindus call it Muktichhetra, and Buddhists call this valley Chuming Gyatsa , the place of 108 waterspouts and this forms part of the ritual for visitors.
Muktinath and the Temple are literally at the top of the world. They are surrounded by mountain peaks higher than anything in Europe and most locations anywhere in the world, including the famous Thorung La pass
Getting their.
Muktinath is either the last part of the Annapurna circuit for trekkers or it’s the arrival destination for temple visitors , in any case it's either a very long walk or a Jeep trek through a high altitude mountain road from Pokhara.
Because of the high altitude most people will stop at lower altitudes for a day to adjust to the altitude before visiting, which is recommended to avoid altitude mountain sickness. The mountains you can see are part of the Annapurna Range in the Himalayas ,they are truly giants.
