In addition to pilgrimage, the area attracts many trekkers from around the world. Ranipauwa, sometimes mistakenly called Muktinath as well, is very close to the temple.
On the journey to Muktinath, there are numerous ancient sites and temples that must be visited along the way. Throughout the year, devotees from all around the country visit Muktinath temple in order to worship the deity. They even take a sacred bath in the holy water that pours from 108 ancient faucets bearing the head of a bull.
