Muktinath Temple, located in the Mustang district of Nepal at an altitude of 3,710 meters, is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for both Hindus and Buddhists. Hindus revere it as Mukti Kshetra (the "Place of Liberation"), believing that a visit to this temple brings salvation (moksha), while Buddhists honor it as Chumig Gyatsa ("Hundred Waters"), an important meditation site associated with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). The temple complex features 108 water spouts shaped like bull heads, where devotees take ritual baths, and a perpetual flame fueled by natural gas, symbolizing divine purity. Surrounded by the stark beauty of the Himalayas, Muktinath is also part of the famous Annapurna Circuit trek, attracting both spiritual seekers and adventure travelers. Its unique blend of religious significance and natural wonder makes it a truly mystical destination, and Nepalese people expect to reach there at least once in their lifetime.
