Overview
Journey to Muktinath, one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the Himalayas, with Enlighten Travels & Tours. At about 3,710 metres in the Mustang district, Muktinath is revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike. Hindus know it as Mukti Kshetra, the place of liberation, and Buddhists know it as Chumig Gyatsa, the hundred waters. This tour is for travellers who want a spiritual experience and a look at the living culture of the trans-Himalayan region, without the stress of planning it themselves. Your journey follows the Kali Gandaki valley, the deepest gorge in the world, between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The landscape shifts from green hills to the dry, wind-carved terrain of Upper Mustang, with the Himalayas in view most of the way. Along the route you'll pass through traditional villages, prayer-flag ridges, and centuries-old monasteries. You'll also see the Kali Gandaki riverbed, where the sacred shaligram stones are found.
