Muktinath Yatra

Overview

“Discover the divine serenity of Muktinath, where the mystical mountains embrace the ancient temple, and the winds whisper the secrets of spiritual liberation.”

Muktinath is a Vishnu temple, sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists. It is located in Muktinath Valley at the foot of the Thorong La mountain pass in Mustang, Nepal. It is one of the world’s highest temples (altitude 3,800 m). Within Hinduism, it is one of the 108 Divya Desams and is the only Divya Desam located outside India. It is known as Mukti Kshetra, which literally means the ‘liberation arena’ (moksh), and is one of the Char Dham in Nepal. This temple is considered to be 106th among the available 108 Divya Desam considered sacred by the Sri Vaishnava sect. Its ancient name in Sri Vaishnava literature is Thiru Saligramam. The Gandaki River nearby is considered the only source of the Saligram Shila, considered to be the naturally available form of Sriman.

Buddhists call it Chumig Gyatsa, which in Tibetan means “Hundred Waters”. For Tibetan Buddhists, Muktinath is an important place of dakinis, goddesses known as Sky Dancers, and one of the 24 Tantric places. They understand the murti to be a manifestation of Avalokiteśvara, who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas.
