Mukthinath As per schedule we should have taken a flight from Pokhara to Jomsom but because of technical snag no flights were in operation so we had to proceed in jeeps. On the morning of 18.09.2013 after coffee we left for Jomsom. There were six people in our vehicle. The driver was Rajkumar Sonar and next to him on the front seat was Sri Amrith Adhikar, CEO of Satyam Tours, who is our organizers Nepal counterpart. We were happy to travel with locals who knew the terrain well and would quench our curiousity. Pokhara to Jomsom is 154 kms but the path we traversed was mountainous and the roads bumpy and kutcha but the scenery was amazing.We enjoyed the sight of Macchapucchare and Annapurna peaks. Maize and banana plants were seen at the lower level. As we ascended there were fields covered with magenta flowers. Amrith told us that it was an edible plant and its flour was used extensively in Nepal. We spotted houses where chillies which were put to dry as also other things. Vegetables like pumpkin, cabbage and cauliflower were spotted. There were plenty of apple trees some filled with apples. We were told that these apples were already bought by prospective buyers from abroad who would collect them during harvest time. Now and then we would sight children in uniform on their way to school. Gorges valleys, cliffs and the river Gandaki was spotted all through the way. Sometimes she would be a trickle, sometimes we spotted her falling from heights in steps and sometimes roaring and gushing forth like the sea. The water was whitish and sometimes brownish. Now and then we spotted a swing like bridge for pedestrians. Tuborg signs were seen everywhere and we learnt it was a beer. Another sign we saw was Takali and Amrith told us that they were a community in Nepal.We stopped once for tea and then the tossing and throwing began again. By 7.00 p.m. we reached Jomsom and checked into our rooms. The trip had taken almost 12 hours. Jomsom means New Fort and is at a height of 2800m. It is in Mustang district in the Dawalagiri zone of Nepal. The weather was cold and we got into our woolens. We got both cold and hot drinking water. After the tumultuous ride we were thankful for the comfort of the bed and the warmth of the comforter. Next morning after coffee we left.Baskets full of apples and vegetables were being sold outside the hotel but we had to leave so no purchases could be made. We took the same jeep we came from Pokhara and travelled for about 15 minutes by a narrow road to reach a jeep stand. We took one such jeep which passed through Kaghbeni. On one side we spotted Annapurna and on the other Daulagiri. Between these other mountain ranges could be seen the river The jeep took us to Mukthinath Jeep stand We then took motorbikes to reach the entrance of Mukthinath temple (Rs 300 per head). While we waited for our turn we bought salagramamurthis ranging from Rs20 to Rs 1000. Then it was time to board the motor –bikes holding the driver around his tummy. It was a roller-coaster ride which was amazing and while some enjoyed others screamed. Atlast we were there – Mukthinath located at 3710m from sea level at the Thorang La Pass in Mustang district. After climbing a fleet of steps we reached the temple premises. Many in our group had bathed and were having Mukthinath Darshan.We took bath in the 108 Gomukhas called Mukthidhara from which Gandaki water pours continuously. It was melted ice and we literally felt frozen. Then we had a dip in two ponds, dried ourselves and changed to fresh clothes in the changing room which was functional. When our turn came we went inside to find Mukthi Narayan in standing posture with Sri Devi and Bhu Devi. They were wearing many many glass bangles. Then there were Salagrams which were huge. Bhaghavadh Ramanuja and Suka Brahmam with a parrot face were seen. There were three Buddhas. The Tibetan priestess put red ribbons round our neck and placed SriSathari on our heads. It was then time to descend.
