Kathmandu to Muktinath: Pashupatinath & Muktinath Tour

About this activity

This package is a combo of Adventurous and Pilgrim. Kathmandu is full of historically significant temples and Stupas from the medieval era. From venerable pagoda style temples to the bustling streets and colorful outdoor markets, there is always something to be fascinated by. We begin our tour here, and then head to Pokhara the following day.

After our Kathmandu exploration, we begin our journey to Muktinath. We can either drive or fly to Pokhara, depending on your flexibility (time wise and financially). From Pokhara, we head to Muktinath via private vehicle. Muktinath is a sacred pilgrimage spot, where people from all over India and Nepal come to visit and pay homage. If you bath in the sacred water at Muktinath, you will be broken from the cycle of death and rebirth, thus reaching Moksha (liberation). In the area, you will get spectacular mountain views and a chance to buy a Shaligram, which according to Hindu mythology, holds the soul of Lord Vishnu.
