Pilgrimage to Muktinath with Tsoknyi Rinpoche

This year the annual 5-day Chakrasamvara puja at Tsoknyi Gargon Ling Muktinath will take place between October 3 and 8. Everyone interested is invited to attend and no permissions or registration are required.

Participants must make all of their own arrangements for travel and accommodation. This generally includes getting to Pokhara, by surface or air, traveling onward to Jomsom, again by surface or air, and finally reaching Muktinath itself, by jeep or on foot.

In addition, all non-Nepali citizens are required to purchase a TIMS (trekking permit)

and an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP)

The total cost for these two permits is 4200 Nrs, unless it has recently gone up.
