Going on a Muktinath yatra is one on the bucket list for almost 30% of the Hindus in this world. The temple is one of the oldest Vishnu temples on our planet, to which both Hindus and Buddhists turn for holy salvation. In the pre-Buddhist era, this place was known as Thiru Saligrmam. The temple darshan takes you up to an altitude of 3, 800 meters in the Mustang region of Nepal. It is also called Muktidham, or Muktikshetra by Hindus around the world. Also known as Chumig Gyatsa by Buddhists, which means 100 water, belongs to one of the 24 Tantrik places. Since the COVID-19 threat is still prevailing, the temple authorities are taking full precautions to keep the devotees safe.
