Muktinath is a sacred pilgrimage site located at an altitude of 3,800 meters (12,467 feet) in the Mustang district of Nepal. The name "Muktinath" translates to "Place of Liberation" in Sanskrit. It holds religious significance for both Hindus and Buddhists and is considered a place of salvation and spiritual cleansing.
