Questions and answers
How long can we stay at Muktinath?
Usually about one hour, which is enough for darshan and the water spouts.
Is altitude a problem?
The temple is at 3,800 m. Short stays reduce the risk, but elderly pilgrims should check with a doctor.
What if the weather is bad?
Weather delays are common in the Jomsom area. Book with one or two buffer days.
Can the tour depart from Kathmandu?
Yes, with a longer flight and a different price.
Muktinath is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, and a pilgrimage here used to mean days of travel. By helicopter you fly from Pokhara past Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, make a short stop at Jomsom and land near the temple.
The temple complex includes the 108 water spouts and the eternal flame. About an hour on the ground is normally enough for darshan, and you are back in Pokhara by mid-morning.
