Pashupatinath Muktinath Yatra – 6 Nights / 7 Days

Nepal’s two biggest Hindu shrines in one trip — Lord Shiva at Pashupatinath and Vishnu at Muktinath.

Overview

Pashupatinath Muktinath yatra: overview

Quick answer

The Pashupatinath Muktinath yatra is a 6 nights / 7 days trip covering Kathmandu, Pokhara, Jomsom, Muktinath, Pokhara, starting from Kathmandu / Pokhara (road link to Gorakhpur). It suits pilgrims wanting both Shiva and Vishnu dhams. The best time for Pashupatinath Muktinath is March–June, September–November. Send your dates for a written, no-obligation quote.

This 6 nights / 7 days yatra joins Nepal's two most important pilgrimages: Pashupatinath, the seat of Shiva in Kathmandu, and Muktinath, the Vishnu shrine high in Mustang. It begins in Kathmandu, drives to Pokhara and uses the Jomsom flight for the mountain section.

Because Muktinath sits at about 3,710 m, the plan gives a buffer day in Pokhara after the mountain section in case flights are delayed by weather. Senior pilgrims can use a pony or the electric shuttle from Ranipauwa to the temple gate.

Tour highlights

  • Pashupatinath evening aarti
  • Muktinath's 108 spouts and Jwala Mai flame
  • Jomsom flight through the Kali Gandaki gorge
  • Buffer day in Pokhara for weather
