Muktinath Temple is situated at an altitude of 3,710 meters (12,172 feet) at the base of the Thorong La mountain pass in the Mustang district. Muktinath Temple is a highly venerated sacred place for both Hindus and Buddhists.
Hindus call the site Mukti Kshetra, which means the “place of salvation,” and it is one of the most ancient temples of the God Vishnu and the Vaishnava tradition in Nepal. The shrine is considered one of the eight sacred places known as Svayam Vyakta Kshetras (the other seven being Srirangam, Srimushnam, Tirupati, Naimisharanya, Totadri, Pushkar, and Badrinath), as well as one of the 108 Divya Desams, or holy places of worship dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Additionally, it is also one of the 51 Shakti Pitha goddess sites.
The Muktinath Temple is small and contains a human-sized golden statue of Vishnu as Shri Mukti Narayana. In addition to Mukti Narayana, the temple has bronze images of Bhoodevi (the Earth-goddess form of Lakshmi), the goddesses Saraswati and Janaki (Sita), Garuda (the mount of Vishnu), Lava-Kusa (the sons of Rama and Sita), and the Sapta Rishis (Seven Sages created by Lord Brahma). An old Buddhist monk is present in the temple, and Buddhist nuns conduct the worship.
To the devotee, a bath beneath these waters is more than a ritual. It is a rebirth, a washing away of past wrongs, and a renewal of spirit. Tantrics and yogis believe that the sacred vibrations of Muktinath open the gateway to higher consciousness, and sincere devotion can provide an opportunity to connect directly with the divine spirit. It is considered an ideal place for dhyan (meditation) and sadhana (spiritual practice), with the belief that sincere devotion here leads to moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth. For those seeking moksha, meditation and sadhana practised in this sacred land are said to possess extraordinary power. It is here that the soul finds peace, sins dissolve, and a new journey towards eternal liberation begins.

Muktinath Helicopter Tour Package Major Attraction:
Muktinath Kunda
In front of Muktinath Temple, there are 2 Kunda (Water ponds). This is generally used for holy dipping and is believed to hold the power to wash away negative karma and the results of one’s past negative actions.
Jwala Mai Temple
A little below the Muktinath Temple, you can see the Tibetan-style Jwala Mai Temple. It is a manifestation of divine power. The rare union of fire and water in one place is seen as a mystical reminder of balance and coexistence, making the temple a revered destination for seekers of faith and wonder. This Temple is famous for the water that it issues from a rock inside it. Inside this Temple, behind a tattered curtain, are small natural gas jets that produce a continuously burning flame. The Jwala Mai temple has a spring, and there are three eternal flames: “Holy flame from soil”, “Holy flame from rock”, and “Holy flame from water” fed by natural gas. Two flames are continuously burning. The Hindus believe that this fire was lit as an offering made by Brahma himself (the creator) as he set water on fire.
Gumba Samba
This is a monastery of Tibetan origin. Legend has it that the Syandol Lama, a Tibetan monk, founded this monastery. This was used as a hostel for monks before it collapsed, and the people of Tibet and Jharkot later restored it. The main monasteries of the main deities are Sakyamuni, Chingresig, and Guru Rimpoche. The monastery is situated to the left of the entrance gate of the Muktinath temple complex, which is worth visiting.
Swaminarayan
A Hindu Guru by the name of Lord Shri Swaminarayan is generally associated with the Temple of Muktinath. Also known as a Satguru of Sabij Yoga, towards the end of the 18th century, he practiced severe penance in Muktinath for two and a half months and attained the highest degree of proficiency in Nishkamvrat. In 2003 his followers funded the new wall around Muktinath and raised a small monument for him at Muktinath.
Shaligram
Another attraction for the pilgrimage is the River Kali Gandaki, from where one can collect fossils of the Jurassic age. You can also buy these fossils from the locals. Shaligram, a black stone fossil, is considered sacred if found and is kept in the Pooja (prayer) room in the house. It is supposed to be a symbol of Lord Vishnu. Gloriously described in Puranas as Krishnagandaki (Black Gandaki) as well as Chakranadi, and worshipped as one of the holiest rivers, Krishnagandaki consists of seven Gandaki rivers, supposed to have sprung from the cheek (Gandasthal) of Lord Vishnu.
