Muktinath Jeep Tour 2026

What is Muktinath, and why do people visit here?

Muktinath is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Nepal, located at 3,710 meters (12,172 ft). The temple holds importance for both Hindus and Buddhists. Every year thousands of devotees visit Muktinath temple. Trekkers usually get to visit this place during their Annapurna Circuit trek and Jomsom Muktinath trek.

It is believed that the lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Sri Garuda (the mythical bird) to protect the devotees from samsara (cycle of birth and date). This resulted in the name Muktinath, which means salvation.

For Hindus, the Muktinath temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams. This is where they come to get moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth). While for Buddhists, the Muktinath is associated with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava).

The 108 water spouts are believed to cleanse the soul and bestow blessings. The main feature of the temple is the eternal flame, which is considered sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists.
