Muktinath
Muktinath, the place of salvation, is one of the 108 Divya Vishnu Dhams in the world.
It is situated at the elevation of 3800 meter on the lap of Thorang peak in Annapurna
Mountain range. Mukti Kshetra and Thiru Saligrama, are the other names of Muktinath.
As mention in Gandaki Mahatmya of Vishnu Purana, Lord Vishnu is considered reclining
in the Himalayas with his head placed towards the Damodar Kunda (the Saligram Lake)
and the chest being located at Muktinath. So it is a very important pilgrimage site for
the Hindu followers.

Narsingh Gompa, Jwala Mai (perpetual natural eternal flame) and small shrine of
Bhagwan Nilkantha Swamy are other not-to-miss attractions of the Muktinath. Narsingh
Gompa is the sacred site for Buddhist followers. Jwala Mai is the melting point of the
five super natural elements (Pancha Mahabhut: Prithvi, Jal, Vayu, Tej and Aakas). The
founder of Swamynarayan sect, Bhagwan Nilkantha Swamy also visited this place and
sanctified by meditating here. It is believed that Guru Rimpoche (Padmashambhav),
also meditated at Muktinath and sanctified this place while he was on his way to
Tibet. Thus, Muktinath is considered a very important pilgrimage site for both, Hindu
followers and Buddhist believers.
