Our thanks to Himal Southasian’s Kanak Mani Dixit for pointing out an utterly delightful blog called phalano.com. This article on Muktinath by Rishi Amatya and Bhushan Timla is from there.
Muktinath, located within the famous Annapurna Circuit Areas, is one of the most famous and respected shrines in the country. The beautiful aspect of the shrine is that followers of both Hinduism and Buddhism regard the shrine with utmost respect. Pilgrims come to pay their homage to the god all throughout the year.
With the harsh and arid landscape of the path that leads to the temple, the trek was previously limited to serious trekkers. However, a newly construed road (It’s slated to complete later this year) is intending to change all that.
