Muktinath Yatra Packages (Nepal) Overview
Muktinath is a holy place for both Hindus and Buddhists, set at about 3,710 metres in the Mustang region of Nepal. Hindus see it as a shrine of Lord Vishnu, where moksha is believed to be gained. The temple has 108 water spouts and a natural flame called Jwala Mai. The Kali Gandaki river nearby is the home of the sacred Shaligram stones.
This yatra starts at Kathmandu with darshan at Pashupatinath, goes to Pokhara, then takes a short flight over the Himalayas to Jomsom. From Jomsom you go by jeep to Muktinath. You return to Pokhara and Kathmandu, and one day is kept free in case the mountain flight is delayed by weather.
It is a land package with hotels, breakfast, airport transfers and a private vehicle. Indian citizens do not need a visa for Nepal, but you must carry valid photo ID. The plan is suitable for families and senior citizens who are fit for a short stay at high altitude.
₹51,000 per person, twin sharing

Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Carry valid photo ID. Indian citizens do not need a visa for Nepal, but must carry a valid passport or voter ID. Rules for children and ID types can change, so check before you travel.
- Use small Indian notes. Indian notes of ₹500 and above are not accepted in Nepal. Carry ₹100 notes or smaller, or Nepali rupees, and check the current rules before you go.
- Watch the altitude. Muktinath is at about 3,710 metres. Walk slowly, drink water, and avoid alcohol. Tell us about heart, blood pressure or breathing problems before you book.
- Expect weather delays. Flights to Jomsom run only in the morning and are often delayed by wind or cloud. The free day in the plan is a buffer, so do not book a tight flight home.
- Pack warm. It is cold at Jomsom and Muktinath even in summer, and windy by afternoon. Carry a jacket, cap and gloves.
- Respect the temple. Wear modest clothes and follow the local rules for the 108 water spouts. The icy water is cold, so carry a spare set of clothes.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.
