The famous pilgrimage spot for both Hindus and
Buddhists. To the Hindus, it is sacred as the
place of salvation. The Hindus believe that to
wash in the waters here guarantees salvation
after death. The Hindu god, Bramha, is thought
to have lit the eternal flames that still burn
at Muktinath. To the Buddhists, it is a place
that the great sage Guru Rinpochhe (Padmasambava)
had meditation, and to all, it is the source of
fossilized ammonites, known locally as saligrams,
which are found all along the upper reaches of
the Kaligandaki valley.
