Muktinath Pilgrimage Tour
Trip Overview
Embark on a soul-stirring journey to Muktinath Darshan Yatra, a sacred pilgrimage nested at 3,800 meters in the trans-Himalayan region of Mustang—revered across Vaidik Sanatan Dharma, Buddhism, Bon, and Himalayan shamanic traditions. Known as Muktikshetra, or the “Land of Salvation,” this spiritually vibrant site is believed to be where Lord Vishnu attained liberation, Guru Padmasambhava meditated among dancing dakinis, and the sacred flame of Jwala Mai eternally blazes from soil, water and air—symbolizing elemental union. Pilgrims ritually cleanse their karma under the Tsumig Gyatsha, 108 icy water spouts, believed to have channeled from the holy source of Damodar Kunda, absolve lifetimes of sin. As per ancient texts like the Skandapurana, Barahapurana, and Krishna Gandaki Mahatmya, Muktinath embodies the divine convergence of Hari (Vishnu) and Hara (Shiva), celebrated for harmonizing Vaishnava and Shaiva traditions, while Tibetan Buddhist lore hails it as the seat of Avalokiteshwara (Tib. Chenrezig). The broader spiritual geography of Krishna Gandaki Kshetra extends beyond— incorporating Triveni Dham, Devghat Ashram, Pulastya Pulhasrama-Galeshwor Dham (Myagdi), Muktikshetra and Damodar Kunda (Mustang)—echoes a deep-rooted legacy of religious coexistence across the Himavat Khanda. With over two decades of expertise, Karnali Excursions offers not just a pilgrimage, but a profound inner journey guided by history, myth, and devotion—an opportunity to walk ancient paths as a true seeker of moksha.
