Things to Do around Muktinath Temple

Kali Gandaki Gorge

The river turns southward and flows through the Mustang. Immediately to the south of Lo Manthang, the capital of Mustang, the river flows through a deep canyon with sheer cliffs, but it widens as it approaches Kagbeni, where the high Himalayan ranges close in. Approximately 7 kilometers south of Tukuche, in the region of Lete, the river reaches the deepest part of the gorge. This section of the river flows past Jomsom, Marpha, and Tukuche.

Dhumba Lake Tour

Dhumba lake sits at an elevation of 2,830 meters in Nepal’s Mustang district. Approximately 5.5 kilometers west of Jomsom, close to the village of Thini. This lake is about 100 m in width and 150 m in length. Buddhists and Hindus alike visit the lake because of its religious significance. Once upon a time, the lake turned blood red, or so the legend goes. A Buddhist priest performed some rituals, and it reverted to its original color.

Jawala Devi

At an elevation of 3,710 meters at the base of the Thorong La mountain pass in the Mustang district of Nepal, the “eternal flame” burns brightly at the Jwala Ji shrine in the village of Muktinath. Sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, this temple is more commonly referred to as the Jwala Mai (Jwala Mother) temple. Those who live there believe that “Jwala Devi is the composition of fire, water, sky, earth, and air.”
