Mukti Nath Heli Charter

Muktinath Heli charter is a quick way to explore The  Mukti Nath Temple which is a very famous temple which belongs to both Hindus and Buddhists. Situated at an altitude of 3,710 meters (12,172 feet) at the base of the Thorong La mountain pass in the Mustang district,  Mukti Nath is located inside the Annapurna conservation area of Nepal and one of the  most ancient temples of the God Vishnu and the Vaishnava tradition in Nepal.

The shrine is considered to be one of the eight sacred places known as Svayam Vyakta Ksetras (the other seven being Srirangam, Srimushnam, Tirupati, Naimisharanya, Totadri, Pushkar and Badrinath), as well as one of the 108 Divya Desam, or holy places of worship of Lord Vishnu. Additionally, it is also one of the 51 Shakti Pitha goddess sites.

The Kali Gandaki riverbed downstream from Muktinath is the sole source of the rare Shaligram stones that are required to establish a temple of Vishnu anywhere in the world.

Buddhists call Muktinath Chumming Gyatsa, which in Tibetan means ‘Hundred Waters’. According to Tibetan Buddhism, Chumig Gyatsa is a sacred place of the Dakinis goddesses known as Sky Dancers, and also one of the 24 celebrated Tantric places. Additionally, the site is believed to be a manifestation of Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Virtue. The Tibetan Buddhist tradition states that Guru Rimpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, meditated here on his way to Tibet.

Visit Mebar Lha Gomba, the small monastery of `miraculous fire’, which is situated near the entrance gate of the temple. This monastery is dedicated to Guru Rimpoche (Padmasambhava) and contains a statue of the Buddhist deity Chenrezig (Avalokitesvara), which is famous for its continuously burning natural gas fire, which Hindus worship as Jwala Mai, the Goddess of Fire.
