This is one of the 106 sacred Muktichhetras (places of assurance of salvation) of the 108 sacred places of Vaishnavas, where Lord Vishnu attained liberation from the curse of Sati.

Pilgrims take a bath in holy water spouts to purify their bodies before visiting the temple for worship.

This is not only religiously important but also a natural wonderland. This is a great place to explore and discover the magnificent views of the Himalayas, the fabulous and typical valley of Kali Gandaki, and the cultural diversity of ethnic groups.

How do I get to Muktinath Temple ?

There is road as well as air connectivity between Kathmandu and Muktinath (Jomsom airport). But there is no direct flight from Kathmandu to Jomsom. There is only a regular and direct flight from Pokhara to Jomsom Airport, the closest airport to Muktinath Temple. Pokhara-Jomsom-Pokhara flights are operated only in the morning because there is always a windy air flow at and after noon, which creates turbulence in the aircraft and disturbs the flight. During the season, it is very hard to get an air ticket to Jomsom, and there are maximum chances of flight cancellation due to bad weather. Therefore, it is wise to make an advance booking prior to your departure. The most reliable access is by air from Kathmandu to Pokhara and then by road from Pokhara to Muktinath Temple.

And during the remaining months of the year, the airport is shut down due to unfavorable weather. The flight is feasible only in the morning (5–9 am) because the airport is located at a high altitude and requires clear weather for the flight over numerous mountains, which provides good visibility in the morning, and there is a strong wind blowing in the afternoon that also affects the flight. You can take a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara one day ago, and the next day fly from Pokhara to Jomsom Airport, which is the closest airport to Muktinath Temple. From Jomsom, you can take a jeep ride to the vehicle station for one and a half hours and then walk for half an hour to reach Muktinath Temple, which is about 25 kilometers away. Likewise, take a flight from Jomsom to Pokhara, and the next day from Pokhara to Kathmandu.
