Highlights
Overview
Muktinath Temple sits at 3,710 meters in the Mustang region, within the Annapurna Conservation Area, and holds deep significance for both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Believed to be one of the 51 Shakti Peethams, the temple is known for its 108 stone waterspouts, where devotees bathe in sacred water believed to grant liberation.
This 7-day tour takes you from Kathmandu to Pokhara by road, then by scenic mountain flight to Jomsom before the final drive and short hike up to Muktinath. Along the way, the journey includes stops at Manakamana Temple, Pashupatinath, and a full day of sightseeing in both Pokhara and Kathmandu Valley — making this as much a cultural and scenic journey as it is a pilgrimage.
Gopaleshwor Tour and Travel manages every stage of the trip directly — transportation, flights, permits, and accommodation — so your focus stays on the journey and the destination.
