The Mustang district, including Muktinath and Jomsom, is known as the place beyond the Himalayas.

Sitting at an altitude of 3,710 meters, approximately 22 km northeast of Jomsom, the temple is commonly referred to as 'Mukti Dham' for Hindus and 'Chumig Gyatsa' for Buddhists. Hindus consider it a 'Mukti Kshetra', where people attain liberation or Moksha, while Buddhists view it as one of the 'Bodhisattvas'. According to legend, Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhav and the founder of Himalayan Buddhism, meditated here on his way to Tibet. Muktinath is unique in that it is the only place on earth where one can find all five elements - fire, water, sky, earth, and air - in their original forms, near the Jwalamai Devi Temple. This spot is known as Sri Murthy Mahatmyam. The name 'Muktinath' is derived from two Sanskrit words - 'Mukti' meaning salvation or nirvana and 'Nath' meaning god or master. The name holds great significance for spiritual individuals in the South Asian sub-continent, and for devout Hindus, it carries religious and emotional significance.
