Mukthinath is located in the Mukthang district of northwestern Nepal, at an altitude of about 3,710 meters in the southern foothills of the Annapurna range of the Himalayas, and is a sacred site for both Hindus and Buddhists. It is famous for the Mukthinath temple complex, which has 108 natural waterholes (Mukthinath means "god of liberation"), where devotees believe that bathing in the water cleanses them of their sins. Mukthinath is also notable for a unique geological feature, the burning gas flames (natural eternal fire), which erupt from cracks in the rock and have survived for thousands of years. As an important point on the Annapurna trekking route, Merguessing combines religious culture, alpine scenery and trekking adventure, attracting travelers from all over the world to come on pilgrimage and experience the ultimate natural beauty.
