You will arrive in Muktinath after a long journey. From Pokhara and the valley, the climb to the village takes more than 20 hours by jeep. If<a href="/nepal/"> your stay in Nepal</a> is quite short, the plane to Jharkot is a solution; however, the flights are frequently cancelled due to bad weather. You should also be prepared to wait a day or two in Pokhara.
The village, at the end of the path, has not changed in centuries. The temple, which is very small, is one of the eight most sacred sites for followers of Vishnu and it is also one of the oldest. A solid gold statue of the god is enthroned there and, in the court, there are 108 flowing fountains that wash away the sins of the pilgrims.
Another must-see is the eternal flame, springing from a natural gas leak in the rock, whose light never goes out. The place is also sacred for Buddhists and today a Lama takes care of the places.
