Budhanilkantha Temple is located at the base of the Shivapuri hill, at the northern side of the Kathmandu valley. The temple is also known as mystical Budhanilkantha temple or Narayansthan temple. ‘Budhanilkantha’ literally means ‘Old Blue Throat’.The temple is
dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu has many incarnations. One of them is the Narayan, the creator of all life and the god who rests on cosmic sea. The 5m-long image of Vishnu as Narayan was created in the 7th century from one huge piece of stone. This image is impressive and the shrine is one of the most important Vishnu shrine in the country. It was sculpted during the Licchavi period, probably somewhere outside the valley, and laboriously dragged here.
Narayan lies peacefully on a most unusual bed: the coils of the multiheaded snake, Ananta or Shesha. The snake’s 11 hooded heads rise protectively around Narayan’s head. Narayan’s four hands hold the four symbols of Vishnu: a chakra disc (representing the mind), a conch shell (the four elements), a mace (primeval knowledge), and a lotus seed (the moving universe).
Vishnu is supposed to sleep through the four monsoon months, waking up at the end of the monsoon. A great festival takes place at Budhanilkantha each November, on the day Vishnu is supposed to awaken from his long annual slumber.
The sleeping Vishnu image, which lies in a small sunken pond enclosure, attracts a constant stream of pilgrims and devotees from all around Nepal and India.

Sri Saligrama is considered the direct symbol of Lord Vishnu, They are found only in Mukti kchhetra and Damodar Kunda (north-west of Nepal). According to the religious text of Devi Bhagwate (and other scriptures) to kill demon Jalandhar Lord Vishnu have to destroy Sati Brindha\'s sati dharma.When he did that Sati Brindha gave four seeming desecrations to Lord Vishnu to become stone, grass, tree, plant. To wash away this reaction Lord Vishnu took four avatars (incarnations). He became stone (Sri Saligram) grass (kush) tree (Pipal) and plant (Tulsi). Since this time the Saligrams are considered to be most auspicious to behold and to worship. The worshipper knows no fear and by Sri Saligram\'s mercy the worshipper is blessed to attain all desirable things; worldly comforts, good wife, good sons, good health and wealth etc. It is all by the blessings of Lord Mahavishnu that His pastimes are being served. It is an excellent service for devotees of Lord Narayana.ner overnight sleep in Kagbeni hotel.

Muktinath
Eastward from the famous Damodar Kunda, the Gandaki-irrigated land of Muktinath lies on the lap of the great Himalayan series consisting Neelgiri, Annapurna and Dhawalagiri mountains. One among eight Bhubaikunthas; the earthly place of heavenly bliss- the holy shrine of Muktinath is located at the altitude of 3,749 meters and at 18 kilometers away from Jomsom, the district headquarter of the renowned tourist destination Mustang in mid-western Nepal. Muktinath shrine is pagoda shaped temple standing atop the hill dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Consorted by the Goddess Bhuneela, the Lord reigns supreme not only in the heart of millions of pilgrims who visit the shrine but also in the Holy Scriptures, which abound with his pious description.
Mukti Kshetra is known in the world both as the abode of the Lord Muktinath -the Liberator- and as the origin-point of the world-sanctifying stream of Muktidhara. Just like the sun liberates the universe from the abysmal darkness and sustains it through the life-nurturing rays, so the Lord Muktinath through His concrete and majestic presence in the temple liberates the devotees from destitution, misfortunes, sins and earthly bonds, and nurtures with a raison d’être- a sense of purpose in the lives of the spiritually dried, psychologically dismantled, economically devastated and physically frail people.
Lord Muktinath is believed to dwell in miniature form in Mukti Kshetra itself whereas beginning from Damodar Kunda down to Triveni in Nawalparasi district is believed to be the body of the Lord in His macrocosmic form. As a result, the terrain beginning from plains of Nawalparasi along the bank of Gandaki River up to the temple in the Mukti Kshetra is hailed as the holy land. The land is also believed to be the place of penitence of Panini, Savant Shringee and chaste Ruru.
In addition to the 108 attractive waterspouts behind the temple, there is another temple in the proximity of the Mother Jwala (Goddess of Flame), which is known particularly for the miraculous flame of burning fire inside water. Besides, the shrine is also noted for the availability of the idols of much talked-upon deity Shaligram.
There are a number of people belonging to different religions, sects and communities who wander hither and the thither in the hope of attaining perennial peace and salvation or Mukti. However, the one and the only shrine in the world which promises a perpetual salvation or Mukti is, as suggested by the name itself, Muktinath. Because of these features, Muktinath has been for several decades a favorite pilgrimage destination in the world.
