Mukti Kshetra - Muktinath

Muktinath, nestled amidst the majestic Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, is more than just a pilgrimage site. It's an explorer's paradise, offering a captivating blend of spiritual significance, breathtaking landscapes, and unique cultural experiences. It is one of the sacred places for both Hindu and Buddhist devotees and lies at an altitude of 3,710 metres at the base of Thorong La Pass, commonly known as “Mukti Kshetra '' or “Place of Salvation”. It is also one of the 108 Divya Desam, or divine places of worship of Lord Vishnu. It's a place where spirituality mingles with breathtaking landscapes, offering a unique exploration opportunity.

The centrepiece of your exploration will be the revered Muktinath Temple, recognised as both a Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site. This temple is also known as Chumig Gyatsa in its local name, which means hundred waters in Tibetan. Witness the awe-inspiring golden statue of Lord Vishnu and seek blessings at the various shrines. You can also participate in the sacred bathing ritual at Mukti Dhara, a natural spring with 108 water spouts. Legend says bathing here washes away sins and brings good fortune. Above all, as this holy temple is in mountainous regions, make sure to be prepared for the cooler temperatures. 

Scenic city - Pokhara

Pokhara, also often called the scenic city in Nepal, lives up to its name in a big way. Settled in a valley, it boasts breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range, with snow-capped giants forming a dramatic backdrop to the city itself.

Likewise, perched atop a verdant hilltop, the Bindhyabasini Temple reigns over the cityscape, its architecture paying homage to the Goddess Durga. Devotees and visitors can see Pokhara in all its splendour from this vantage point, presenting the harmonious coexistence of faith and natural beauty.

Additionally, you will also stop by the cascading Davis Falls, overflowing with its ethereal beauty, which is near Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave.

Locals and visitors together enjoy the small pleasures of strolling about the lake and taking peaceful breaks amidst the serenity of Pokhara.
