Journey toward spirituality and salvation.
Nepal, a country rich in spiritual and cultural significance, holds great importance for Hindus and Buddhists. Each year, numerous followers of these faiths, including pilgrims from neighbouring countries such as India, China, and Sri Lanka, as well as from around the world, journey to Nepal on a spiritual quest. Hinduism and Buddhism have peacefully coexisted in Nepal for many centuries. Many Hindus view Buddha as an incarnation of their deity Vishnu. As a result, Muktinath is a revered site for both Hindus and Buddhists.
The temple of Muktinath is situated in the Mustang District of Nepal, at an altitude of 3710 meters in the Annapurna Conservation Area. It is located 48 km away from the northeast of Jomsom and is part of the renowned Annapurna Circuit Trek. Hindu worshippers believe that a visit to Muktinath and a ritual bath in its 108 sacred water springs can cleanse them of all past sins and earn them favour from the deity Vishnu.
