The famous temple of Lord Muktinath is situated about 18 kms north east of Jomsom in the north central region of Nepal, at an altitude of about 3750m. On the approach to the Pokhara Valley, either by air or by road, visitors will be amazed by the enchating views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
Muktinath is of religious importance to both the Hindus and the Buddhists. The main shrine of Muktinath is a pagoda-shaped temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. In the walls around the temple are embedded 108 waterspouts. The Jwala Mai Temple nearby has a spring and an eternal flame fed by natural gas. It is believed that one should visit this temple after completing a pilgrimage of four special religious sites in India. The entire circuit is known as “Chardham Yatra”. The serenity of the place soothes one's mind and induces an air of spiritualism. One can also enjoy the panoramic views all around.
