The Jomsom Muktinath Jeep Tour serves as the easiest and most comfortable way to reach Muktinath. Exploring several other significant places in Nepal like Pokhara and Tatopani, the travellers will finally reach the beautiful and holy land of Muktinath temple. This temple is located at an altitude of 3800 meters and is about 375 kilometers far from the capital city of Nepal.

We begin the trip on the second day with a drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara which covers around 200 kilometres and takes around 7 hours. In Pokhara, the travellers spend a day and night enjoying the best landscape, lakes, and nightlife and prepare for the journey that awaits. From Pokhara, the jeep takes you towards Tatopani, and then to Jomsom, finally leading all the travellers to Muktinath.

This Jomsom Muktinath Jeep Tour takes travellers through several changes in the landscapes, villages, waterfalls, rivers, and so much more. All these amazements and the holy Muktinath temple contribute to almost 75% of tourists that visit Nepal every year. However, let us tell you one thing the Jeep Tour to Jomsom Muktinath is not just about the religious aspect. During this journey, you can also immerse yourself in the spectacular views of several mountains like Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range and many more.

Once you reach Muktinath, you can see many Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims worshipping the temple and also many people bathing under the 108 sprouts. According to the locals and pilgrims, bathing in the 108 sprouts washes all the sins one has committed. After all of these experiences and religious vibes in the Muktinath temple, we mark an end to the Jomsom Muktinath Jeep Tour.
