Muktinath is one of the high altitude religious sites in the Himalayas. A short flight to Jomsom from Pokhara takes you to the starting point of the trek to Muktinath. Here at Muktinath lies the holy temple and the 108 water spouts. You will also see earth, fire and water come together where the eternal flame burns night and day, giving the place an aura of mystery.
