Significance of Muktinath Temple

1.      For Hindus: Muktinath is one of the 108 Divya Desams, or holy abodes of Lord Vishnu, revered in the Divya Prabandha, an early medieval Tamil canon of the Alvar saints. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is worshipped here in the form of a stone idol and is believed to grant liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Hindu pilgrims believe that taking a bath in the temple's 108 water spouts purifies one's soul and washes away sins.

2.    For Buddhists: Muktinath is equally significant for Buddhists, who call it "Chumig Gyatsa," meaning "Hundred Waters." Buddhists consider it a place blessed by Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, who introduced Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet. The natural flames of the temple's eternal flame, created by natural gas under the earth, are also a symbol of the element of fire revered in Buddhism.

Best Time to Visit

• Spring (March to May): The weather is mild, and the trail is filled with blooming rhododendrons, offering beautiful views.
• Autumn (September to November): The skies are clearer, making it ideal for sightseeing and photography.
• Avoid Monsoon and Winter: Monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rains and landslides, while winter (December to February) can be extremely cold and snowy, making travel difficult.

Tips for Traveling from Gorakhpur to Muktinath Yatra

  Gorakhpur to the India-Nepal Border (Sunauli): From Gorakhpur, take a cab or bus to the Sunauli border, around 100 km away (approximately 2-3 hours by road).

  Crossing the Border at Sunauli: Carry your passport or any valid ID (for Indian citizens, an Aadhaar or Voter ID is typically sufficient) to cross into Nepal. Once in Nepal, continue to your next destination.

  Sunauli to Pokhara: From the border, you can take a bus, private taxi, or a pre-arranged transfer to Pokhara, about 200 km (6-8 hours). If you prefer a more comfortable journey, hiring a private car is recommended.
