Guest guest Posted December 9, 1999 Report Share Posted December 9, 1999 Dear Mr Narayanan, namaskaram I went to Muktinath (Saligramam) in 1978 by walk from Pokara. I would suggest several ways to do it. From Calcutta you need to get to Pokara which is about 200 km west of Kathmandhu. So either go to Kathmandhu first or somehow go straight to Pokara. If you have a huge amount of money I believe you can get a helicopter from either Kathmandu or Pokara to Muktinath. One gentleman told me he did it this way but I think he said that it cost about 1/2 a lakh. Otherwise there are infrequent flights on Royal Nepalese Airways in small planes from either Pokara or Kathmandu to Jomsom which is 1 days march from Muktinath. If you don't want to spend the money on these then you have to walk. Of course you can take a bus from Kathmandu to Pokara but from there you must walk. The route is easy to follow and you can get guide maps cheaply in Pokara. The route goes through the tibetan refugee camp just outside of town to Nau Danda, Biretante, Ghorapani, Tatopani, Maufa, Jomsom, Kagbeni to Muktinath. This take about a week to 10 days one way. If you want to go further on the route to Mustang past Kagbeni to Damodara Kund that adds another 3 days one way. Most of the Saligramams can be obtained at Kagbeni. Good luck. adiyen ramanuja dasan Keshava das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
