Why visiting Muktinath during snowy winter can be a rewarding affair

To visit Muktinath, a Hindu and Buddhist religious shrine in the Mustang district of western Nepal, autumn is considered the best season. The weather conditions during this season are perfect for walking around and sightseeing. I chose the same season for my trip in the past, but this time I wanted to experience something different.

I visited the trans-Himalayan district in December, the peak of the winter. The experience, however, was more rewarding as I saw the shrine snow-blanketed.
