Also, it is renowned as the oldest temple constructed with an intention of worshipping God Vishnu and Nepal’s Vaishnava tradition. Its high spiritual prominence is carried due to it being counted amongst the eight most sacred places recognized as Srimushnam, Srirangam, Totadri, Naimisharanya, Divya Desam, Badrinath and Tirupati. Apart from this, this destination is also an indispensable part of the 51 Shakti Pitha goddess sites.

Kathmandu is the hub from where you can get the both sided services from these helicopters. Since, a chartered helicopter is capable of carrying the weight of 5-6 passengers at a single point of time, if yours is a family of the same number of people then I would highly recommend you to indulge the ride in a private chartered helicopter. Despite of the Muktinath Yatra Package by chartered helicopter being too expensive as compared to other packages, it is one of the mostly favoured since there exists no need for you to be a part of any long drive of flight connection and also enables you to reach Kathmandu in a rapid manner. Thus, it is also majorly prominent as the MUKTINATH DARSHAN LUXURY TOUR PACKAGE.
It can be said that the Muktinath Temple Tour by road shall prove to be a quite hectic as well as an adventurous affair but this one is literally a highly Cheap Muktinath Yatra package.

Thus, the overland route for reaching this pilgrimage hub is quite time taking and challenging as well. But, keeping the road conditions on one side for a while, the scenic views and different sites en-route are surely going to fill up your journey with a plethora of amazing captures and plenty of happiness. Under the Muktinath Darshan tour package by road, you will be indulging in a mesmerizing drive commencing from Kathmandu till Pokhara in a time period of 6-7 hours.
