As Outfitter in Nepal, it is by now needless to state that Trekking in Nepal is by far the most popular tourist activity and Trekking to Muktinath is the most popular trek in Nepal among all others. This unique, natural and cultural trek to the Holy Muktinath Temple offers one with a unique opportunity to look into the Hindu Culture, indulge with Mother Nature and enjoy unspoiled natural beauty.
Situated at
the foot of the Thorung la Mountain pass at an altitude of 3,710 meters,
Muktinath is one of the most sacred of Hindu pilgrimages. Its name refers to
“liberation” and it is widely believed that visiting this temple redeems a
person from their sins. There are 108 water taps in this temple and they are
considered to be holy. Devotees can be found taking baths in these taps despite
the freezing temperature.
The river flowing from Muktinath to the Kali Gandaki River is the source for
the Shaligramas; black ammonoid fossils considered holy and are required to
establish a temple for the creator of Hindu belief, Vishnu. Because of the
religious importance, this temple receives a lot of domestic as well as
international tourists every year.
The trek to Muktinath is found to be fairly easy by most of the trekkers as
opposed to other difficult routes of the Himalayas. Because of the low
altitude, it is almost impossible to experience altitude sickness and hence it
can provide you with a good adventure of trekking
in Nepal. This trek provides you some of the most spectacular views on the
planet in their untainted form. Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Macchapuchre mountains peek at the trekkers
all along the route. You can see villages inhabited by ethnic groups in regular
intervals. Trekkers will be subjected to a trail that goes from low land
forests to the dreary wastelands of upper Kali Gandaki. As Tour Operator | Outfitter in Nepal for the region, we recommend this Trekking in Nepal experience if you seek to get insight of Hindu Religion and wilderness of Mother Nature.
It is astonishing to many tourists that people still live in such remote areas
only approachable by foot. On the route, trekkers will meet many locals hauling
food, water or other necessities back to their small villages. The people,
however, are exceptionally well-mannered and treat the people passing by with
respect. The tea houses and lodges placed in villages are a good place to rest
and get accustomed to the culture of the Himalayas. The walk downhill is
arduous but once you reach Muktinath, you will find yourself in a tranquil
state.
