Interesting places in Muktinath:| Muktinath Temple |
Muktinath, a sacred place both for Hindus as well as the Buddhists, is located at an altitude of 3,710 meters, at the foot of the Thorong La mountain pass (part of the Himalayas) , Mustang district, Kingdom of Nepal. The Hindus call the place as Mukti Kshetra, which literally means the "place of salvation", while the Buddhists call it Chumig Gyatsa, which in Tibetan means 'Hundred Waters'. For Tibetan Buddhists Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa is a place of Dakinis, goddesses known as Sky Dancers. It is of great importance for Buddhists that Chumig Gyatsa is one of the 24 Tantric places. The Tibetan Buddhist tradition states that for this reason Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism had meditated at Muktinath on its way to Tibet.

Early Morning Views
Made by uncorneredmarket
Clouds clear at dawn, giving us a glimpse of the mountains surrounding the village of Muktinath. The village was our first encounter with civilization - jeeps, tractors, motorcycles since the beginning of our trek. We had become accustomed to mules, making the reappearance of motorized vehicles difficult to stomach. Taken on day 11 of the Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal.

Dancing Up a Storm

After crossing the Thorong La pass, we had a steep 1,600 meter descent through dry terrain to the village of Muktinath. The way down turned out even more difficult than the way up! The village is a pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Here, some women pass the time by singing and dancing. Taken on day 10 of the Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal.
