Muktinath Pilgrim Tour is one of the religious treks of the country. Muktinath is the famous pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Hindus. To Hindus, Muktinath is a sacred place of salvation.

Highlights of Muktinath Pilgrim Tour

The main highlight of this Muktinath Pilgrim Tour is hiking through the gorge carved by the beautiful Kali Gandaki River, which originates in the Tibetan plateau. It eventually flows into the Ganges in India, the temple of Muktinath, although dedicated to Vishnu, is sacred to both Hindu and Buddhist and many ascetic sadhus gather here.

Muktinath is the perfect place to find fossilized ammonites, known locally as Shaligram, which are found all along the upper reaches of Kali Gandaki.

For Buddhists, Muktinath is a place where the great sage guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) came to meditate. People living in this are mostly Gurungs and Magars in the lower regions of the Kali Gandaki, Thakalis around Jomsom and people from Tibetan roots, the Lopa, around Muktinath and up to Mustang.

These people have their own unique customs and attire. So both Hindus and Buddhists can do Muktinath Pilgrim Tour.

You can travel from Pokhara to Jomsom by land transport as well which may fluctuate in your total travel days.

If you want, we can also reduce the number of trekking days as well. We can modify the number of days as per your request.
