Muktinath Tour Package from Alappuzha – Overview
The Muktinath Tour Package from Alappuzha (Alleppey) is a spiritually immersive pilgrimage that transports devotees from the calm and scenic backwaters of Kerala to the divine Himalayan sanctuary of Nepal. For Hindus and Buddhists alike, Muktinath is a timeless symbol of faith, purity, and liberation. The temple stands at an altitude of 3,710 meters, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and located in one of the world’s highest pilgrimage regions.
Devotees believe that taking a holy bath under the 108 Mukti Dharas (water sprouts) and dipping in the two sacred Kunds purifies the soul and brings spiritual freedom (moksha). The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, and the presence of a natural, eternal flame (Jwala Mai) inside the temple complex adds to its mystical significance.
This tour package is designed to offer travelers from Alappuzha a comfortable, well-organized, and deeply fulfilling pilgrimage. Whether you are a senior citizen seeking peace, a family planning a religious journey, or a spiritual seeker exploring the Himalayas, this package includes all essential services—transportation, accommodations, meals, permits, and guided assistance—so you can focus solely on the divine experience.
The journey also allows travelers to explore the scenic beauty of Nepal’s famous destinations, such as Pokhara and Jomsom, offering a perfect blend of spirituality, adventure, nature, and cultural exploration.
