Muktinath Temple is a significant pilgrimage place in Nepal's Mustang province. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one of the principal Hindu deities, this temple stands as a significant sacred location in Hinduism. It is also significant to Buddhists, who believe it is one of the 24 Tantric sites in Tibetan Buddhism.

The temple complex is a stunning blend of Hindu and Buddhist cultures. The main temple is a pagoda-style structure with a golden roof and a large prayer wheel. It also houses a shrine for Lord Shiva and a Garuda statue. The temple's unique fusion of Hindu and Buddhist elements, along with its stunning architecture and natural beauty, attracts spiritual seekers and tourists.

The 108 water spouts found outside the Muktinath Temple are one of the most intriguing parts of the temple. Believers consider the water from these spouts sacred, as they believe it resembles the 108 heads of Lord Brahma, the Hindu deity. Consequently, pilgrims frequently partake in purifying baths in these spouts before entering the temple. There is also a Buddhist monastery nearby, which adds to the spiritual value of the location. The monastery contains numerous prayer wheels, murals, and statues that are religiously significant to Buddhists.
