 Namaskarams to all,             By the grace of Lord we were able to go to
Mukthinath Nepal our 106th Divya Desam in July 1st week. We did not go in
group my husband and myself went alone. As it was off season we were not able
to join any helicopter ride. We went through Himalayan scenery treks and
expedition [p] LTD in Themal. We had a very good guide called Gyanu. Here is
his email address to contact him. bhatta_gyanu@xxxxxxxxx He is very good and
very knowledgeable. He accompanied for the full trip.we went to pokra by bus
from kathmandu from pokra we went to jomson from there we took horse for our
journey to mukthinath. In Gantaki River we walked for 2 hours we did not find
any salagrams. They are telling now salagrams are not getting that easily. Now
the traffic is more and tractors for the carrying stones and motor bikes also
take the passengers up to mukthinath. All these vehicles also goes in riverbed
only. After walking in Gantaki river we took the horse ride to reach there it
took 6and ½ hours to reach up. We enquired in the temple to the Buddhist
priest they said now it is very rare to find one. Next day we came by walking
all the way from muthinath to Jomson it took 5 hours for us. Now in muthinath
one can get good lodge to stay with attached bath on the way also there are
some eating places with bathroom facility. So while coming back our guide
enquired on the way to village people they showed us some which were broken
very badly they have put it on the sides of the houses without any care
walking over salagrams. They need only Nepalese money not even Indian currency
they are telling they have to go a long way to change only in mukthinath
temple we found on Buddha bikshu telling us the photo of muthinath Indian
currency rs10. When we went it was rainy season but we were so lucky there was
no rain, the weather was good we were able to get the plane to Jomson on the
very day we had bought the ticket. So trekking is not bad it is enjoyable. So
we did not get any salagrams there. The guide told us that he has come there
so many times trekking and he has got only two in his 12 years of service. He
was also searching for me. We enquired in shop near pasupathinath temple, he
said that they have to take dip in Gantaki River to get it and search for a
long time. We had a very good dharsan   in the temple we are happy to have
completed all the divya desams. The guide told us the best time to come to
muthinath is Aug ?Sept neither too hot nor too cold. With namaskarams to all
meena sahasranaman
