Know before you go

Hindus call it "MuktiKshetra," while Buddhists call it ChumigGyatsa. This temple is built in Tibetan style, and there are idols of Lord Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma, and Kali. This place is mainly crowded on the day of the Janai Purnima festival in Nepal. There are 108 water spouts running near the temple. Nearby is the Jwala Mai temple.
This trek immerses you completely in nature's biodiversity. The entire landscape, the holy temple, and the worshippers' customs make this a spiritual journey in Nepal. The best months for taking the Jomsom and Muktinath trek are February to June or between September and December. Monsoon and winter can be avoided.
