The most well-known easy religious journey to the most
well-liked holy Muktinath Temple is provided by Muktinath Helicopter Tour Package
of Blue Mountain Travels & Tours Pvt Ltd. At 3800 meters above sea level,
in the Mustang district, Muktinath is a revered religious place that receives
thousands of pilgrims from the Hindu and Buddhist faiths each year. The terms
"Mukti" and "Nath," which imply salvation or nirvana and
God, respectively, are the origin of the word "Muktinath." These
temples are among the Annapurna Circuit Trek's top attractions. The greatest alternative
to get to the Muktinath Temple without any physical challenges is to use our
one-day Muktinath helicopter trip from Pokhara.
The Mukitnath Helicopter Tour Service is well-known among
pilgrims who lack the time to travel by land or by plane from Pokhara to Jomsom
and who also like to stay in their familiar surroundings. For Hindus and
Buddhists, Muktinath Temple is known as "Mukti Dham" and "Chumig
Gyatsa" respectively. Hindus revere the shrine as "Mukti
Kshetra", the location from whence one attains Moksha. The temple is
similarly revered by Buddhists as one of the "Bodhisattvas". Thousands of people travel to Muktinath, a frightened temple in the Mustang
region, every year because they believe that bathing there will atone for
lifetime sins. All five elements—Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Sky—can be found
here on The Muktinath Temple.
