The temple complex is situated at an altitude of 3,710 meters (12,172 feet), and the base of the Thorong La pass. Muktinath was built in the 8th century and is considered an important pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists.

About Muktinath Temple

Muktinath is built in the traditional pagoda style, with a central courtyard and smaller shrines and temples. The main temple houses a statue of Lord Vishnu and a sacred spring known as the Mukti Kunda, which is considered to have healing properties. The temple also features 108 water spouts, or Muktidhara, which are believed to be connected to the 108 beads of the Hindu rosary. Pilgrims visit the temple to dip in the sacred spring and perform puja, or worship, to Lord Vishnu. Reaching the temple is challenging, but the Muktinath helicopter tour is effortless as it involves no tedious walking. For many devotees, Muktinath darshan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and our professional support team will make the journey smooth and hassle-free for you.
