About Trip:
Muktinath is a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists. Hindus worship Muktinath as an incarnation of Lord Bishnu and believe that bathing in the holy water here brings salvation after death. For Buddhists, it is a site where sage guru Rinpoche meditated. There is a fete here during Janai Purnima, a Hindu festival in August when hundreds of devotees visit every year.
