Out of all the travelling or trekking destinations in Nepal, Muktinath temple is the best. There are a lot of reasons behind it. The first thing is that it is very simple and the level of difficulty is very low. After that, once you have completed the trek, you will get to visit Muktinath temple, which is a huge thing for Hindus and Buddhists. Now, with the amazing trek that you experience while traveling to Muktinath, there are other trekking options too that you can try.

Here is a little detail about the Muktinath Yatra and other destinations near it. These are the points you should know before starting your Muktinath tour.

Muktinath temple trek

While trekking, we need to cover various places and need to reach a certain point. Now, there is a number of ways in which you could complete this Muktinath Yatra, but here we are going to discuss the Jomsom Muktinath way.

The trek starts from Pokhara, covers Kali Gandaki valley and reaches to the Muktinath temple at the end. On the way, you could enjoy the splendid beauty of nature, especially the mountains. While this trek, you could enjoy the scenic beauty of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. You could complete the trek in limited time and could get access to the best lodges of this region.

Damodar Kunda trek

Out of all the treks that are there around the Muktinath Temple, Damodar Kunda is the most renowned one. Now, this is actually a lake and is of great value for Hindu pilgrimages. The elevation point for this trek is very low and that is 4890 metres. It is situated in the rain shadow of the high Himalayas which is in the north Annapurna range.

Though the elevation point for this place is very low, it is still windy and chilled. If we talk about the best time for trekking, then it would be the month of August and, that too, on a full moon day. The reason for which we are saying you to visit this place in August is that during that time a major festival takes place and it holds a very important place for both Hindus and Buddhist pilgrimages.

Apart from that, if you are not interested in the festival, you can visit the place in the months of April to September. These lakes and situated at a point which is very near to the Tibetan border. The area actually is restricted, but it is the best attraction of the Muktinath tour.

This trekking destination is best for those who don't want to make the trekking long. This is the smallest distance you will have to trek in amongst all the trekking destinations of Nepal. The trek is known especially for its best waterfalls and wildlife. It is the second-highest peak in the entire Kathmandu valley. The trek starts from Budhanilkantha. A few things that make this trek renowned are amazing mountain valleys and the scenic beauty that it makes. It also gives you the sneak peek into Nepal's rural life.

Once you reach the elevation point of the trek, you could experience the amazing sunrise and sunset in the eastern and central mountain ranges. The trek starts from Budhanilkantha, but there are two places where you can end guys trek. These are Nagarkot and Dhulikhel. You can choose either of the places for ending up your trek. The best thing about this trek is that this could be done throughout the year. Each season is different and brings a different natural flavour to the places that you can explore there, making your Muktinath Yatra memorable.
