For yatris from eastern UP and Bihar, Gorakhpur is the handiest doorway to Nepal. The Sunauli border is about 100 km away, and Gautam Buddha International Airport at Bhairahawa sits just across it, with short domestic hops to Pokhara. That geography lets us compress a Muktinath yatra into four days without a single long bus ride inside Nepal.
Muktinath, at roughly 3,700 m in the Mustang district behind the Annapurna range, is a rare shrine honoured by both Hindus and Buddhists. Vaishnavas count it among the 108 Divya Desams and the Sri Vaishnava tradition calls it Mukti Kshetra; pilgrims bathe under the 108 brass spouts and in the two kundas before darshan, and visit the Jwala Mai shrine where a natural gas flame burns beside a spring. We reach it by a 20-minute flight from Pokhara to Jomsom and a jeep ride up the Kali Gandaki valley.
The return is by air to Kathmandu, where an afternoon and evening are kept for Pashupatinath, Boudhanath and Swayambhunath, and the last morning takes you back to Bhairahawa and across the border to Gorakhpur. Pokhara’s lakeside temples fill the first evening. Three flights and one border crossing in four days make this a brisk programme, so we recommend it to reasonably fit yatris who are short of leave.
