The famous pilgrimage spot for both Hindus and Buddhists. To the Hindus, it is sacred as the place of salvation. The Hindus believe that to wash in the waters here guarantees salvation after death. The Hindu god, Bramha, is thought to have lit the eternal flames that still burn at Muktinath. To the Buddhists, it is a place that the great sage Guru Rinpochhe (Padmasambava) had meditation, and to all, it is the source of fossilized ammonites, known locally as saligrams, which are found all along the upper reaches of the Kaligandaki valley.

We
continue to follow the wide valley of the Kali Gandaki, passing through
Khobang and Tukuche. Tukuche is a delightful village where narrow
alleyways and houses built around enclosed courtyards attempt to provide
some shelter from the winds which howl through the gorge. The wind
generally picks up after about midday , but will at least be blowing at
our backs as we head up to Jomsom. After passing through stone-walled
orchards, a stone gate marks the entrance to Marpha. White walled houses
line both sides of the narrow paved street, under which flows a
cleverly made drainage system. Marpha make a good lunch stop and the
courtyards of the many lodges make ideal resting and refreshment places.
The local apple brandy is especially well-known! As the trail continues
towards Jomsom, the landscape becomes increasingly arid and impressive
with its mixture of browns, yellows and greys, contrasting with the
white snowcaps of Tilicho and Nilgiri. By afternoon, the stiff winds
begin to blow, hastening our way to Jomsom. [walk approx 5 hours]
