Mrs. Ritika Sing
04 2nd 2020Muktinath temple, Pilgrimage site
Recently, me and my friends completed the Kathmandu-Muktinath Yatra tour. Muktinath temple is one of the beautiful and amazing temples in the world situated in the mighty Himalayas. It provides relief and peace along with the breathtaking views of snow capped Himalayas. We saw a huge number of pilgrimages are taking bath in the tabs and ponds believing that the door of the heaven will open after death. It was thrilling and life time experience.

03 2nd 2020Kathmandu to Muktinath
We had a memorable and hassle free tour with a meaningful message in Nepal. We visit Muktinath last week, the temple is so beautiful in the lap of Himalayas. The 108 stone taps with freezing following was awesome. Other people in the temple advice us to bath in the pond of temple as they believe our sins get forgiven so we took bath in the pond and it was a brain numbing experience. All in all the Muktinath Yatra tour was awesome and the temple is a kind of heaven.
