A sojourn to Muktinath
By Rishi Amatya & Bhusan Timla
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.
The Holy Area of Muktinath attracts people from all walks of life, from pilgrims to the adventure seekers. Pilgrims come to bow before the god, while the adventurous one more excited by the wonderful journey they have just had. But granted that everyone is looking for an experience of some sort—be it religious or otherwise—all of them return with the blessing and get what they came looking for in the foothills of the mountain: the adobe of the gods.

Golden hues of the dawn in the Dhaulagiri Range
What it likes to see it from close? Close up of Dhaulagiri Range
In the foothills. A village rests under the shelter of the Dhaulagiri Peak. Dhaulagiri Range and Naurikot Village
Dhaulagiri Range as seen from Tharsang Village Resort, Naurikot.
Marpha, the famous place for good apples and excellent brandy .
What a view! The road to Jomsom.
Evening slowly engulfs Kagbeni Village.
Kagbeni at day.
Steep climb at the Kagbeni. The treacherous trail leads to the top of the mountain where there is a vantage point for sight seeing. Even though the climb is way too steep for comforts (you’ll have to ride on horseback to get there), the views from the top is something that is able to dispel all worries.
Jharkot Village en route to Muktinath.
Fiery sunset as seen from Rani Pauwa.
Panoramic view of the Rani Pauwa village at dawn.
A tale of villages and a pond. Ancient villages as seen from the road that leads to Muktinath temple.
Panoramic view of the surrounding of the Muktinath temple, taken from the outer boundary of the temple premises.
Vishnu Paduka temple in the premises of Muktinath temple.
The famous & holy temple of Muktinath.
Prayer flags flutter by in Muktinath while magnificent Himalayan Range provide the excellent backdrop.
Apples left to dry in the winter sun in the temple premises. It is one of the most sought after local delicacy.
Solar installation in Rani Pauwa. Solar installations like these help to conserve the local natural diversity by cutting the need of firewood for cooking and other purposes like water heating.
A solitary calf wander along the newly constructed road to Jomsom.
Back to Pokhara. Machhapuchchhre & the Annapurna range greets the viewers at Sarangkot.

There are only handful of places like this one in the Earth and I Can’t help falling in love with it. Thanks to those good pair of hand who had taken this brilliant pictures of ‘Heaven on Earth’, carry on.
Amagingly beautiful. I can see a beautiful country, a more social village, a strongly rooted faith represented by the temple on those remoteness, long awaiting hope on those road , everyday struggle for survival on those steep rocks, crops on those terrace giving the hint of generation’s of survived civilization, a beautiful Mountain range that the people can enjoy day in and day out and the much wider Kaligandaki reflecting the nature’s space. Ah Heaven!!!

These spectacular images depict how unselfish mother nature has been towards Nepal. Unfortunately the reality in the ground in the perspectives of everyday livelihood of the general population around these areas is glim, whereas these natural resources could have been easily utilized to generate more than enough revenues to funnel better life to all Nepalese.
The hard work from Rishi and Bhusan and the rest of the phalano team to bring forth these pictures in front of a global audience is commendable.

Excellent photos. Phalano .com will be greatful if he also can be able to give tentative time to reach this and other places where Phalano focuses. Our guests alawys want how to go there, which season is good and facilities to reach there. For Nepali, we have enough time to travel those places, but for foreighners they have less time and more money. So Please consider to upload your best places in Nepal and ways to travel there.
Thank you dear falano and readers.

Wonderful pictures
Indeed nepal is a part of heaven. I feel myself great to have treks around Thak khola and Annapurna area. Being a geologist i was there three years back and after i return back to Nepal i will try to go round the annapurna area and to worship Muktinath.
I am really missing Tatopani, Lete, Marpha, Jomsom, Eklebhatti, Kagbeni and also Jharkot and Muktinath.
What a time it was when we had field work from Tribhuvan University. Collection of ammonites (shaligram) from the bank of Kali Gandaki river for the whole day has really become a history.
Graet pictures and great jobs.
Thanks

The beautiful photos of Muktinath and the surrounding landscapes reminded me of my stay in Jomsom as a Chief District Administrator. The Muktinath temple and its holy site were my favourate places in Mustang. As a district administrator, I resolved the land dispute between Muktinath and Kagbeni VDC that has been going on for several years.
The photographer did an excellent job, and deserves my appreciation.

Well Bhusan dai nice work ….. My comment goes like this… actually i like only one shot from your feature, i.e Panoramic view of the Rani Pauwa village at dawn,…… rest of other shot location is good but the timing and composition it really doesn’t impressed me and offcourse if you had played more with lights and composition, it would have been really great shot….
Just in my choice, If i were there i would have gone to shoot more frames of beautiful potraits and lifestyles of village life along with less landscapes……
Keep Shooting…. and also thanks for the sms…
Cheers,
Sailendra…..

Many thanks to Rishi and friend.Wonderful pictures ofa most wonderful place.To recall:I went on pilgrimage through the Thorang-La, twice and again from Pokhara to Muktinath on foot.Three times.Feels like yesterdayMy British colleagues Tony Wedgewood from Budhanilkantha School and his two friends from UK,Mel and Mary couldn’t make it after Jomsom.It was trek of life time.Complete tranquillity after taking bath at those sacred 108 souts,and pooja and Darshan.didn’t feel like returning.But it has to be experienced.
Thanks for projecting the best image of our beautiful motherland.Please continue the good work.All the best.

I spent 6 months in Nepal in 2006 and had the opportunity to trek a bit… Thanks for bringing back beautiful memories. I have also appreciated the beauty in the people of Nepal. Their soft and sweet way of talking to each other has nothing to do with our harsh “western” style. And I am sure if the leaders of the country can bring schools and dispensaries to these areas, they can be preserved for a long time to come and less people would have to emigrate far away from this beauty.

No doubt that it is one of the most beautiful place on the earth, but what are we doing to preserve this marvel of nature??
Being there five months ago, the site and sound of motorcycle and tractor rumbling and thundering through quiteness, was an experience of no more than sadness for an inevitable destruction rather than development. I am not against swifter transportation for locals and visitors, but have anyone thought about an environmental impact??
It is time to think about bringing the changes in a place in a sustainable manner that will not disturb and devastate the tranquility, beauty and economy in the long run.
Great pictures other than hated picture # 8 with motorcycle.
Author welcome for feedback.

The trekking route around the Annapurna range is included in ‘The places you should see before you die’, a book by BBC. The book lists a total of about 30 sites from all over the world. Its our pride. I had been up to Muktinath and back to Pokhara on foot which took me a total of 11 days back in 1987. It is one of my most memorable adventures. These photos remeinded me of my trek that time. The Himalaya, the Kali Gandaki, the places, all seem to be like before except that we can see a motorable road now. Thanks Phalano.com for bringing these awsome pictures.

I do not have much to say in addition to what has been expressed by viewers above. My appreciation to you for bringing these in here. One thing I am curious to know is why muktinath is such a great shrine? Whats the fairy tale story behind it for being such a great place? If anyone knows the story please post here if you wouldn’t mind.
Thanks
