The short answer

Pulhashram is a hermitage and meditation place associated with the sage Pulaha, set in the Kali Gandaki valley area. Visitors to Muktinath sometimes hear it as Pulhashram, Pulahashram or Pulha Ashram. It is a quiet place of worship, mentioned in local tradition and visited by pilgrims.

Details such as exact location and access can vary, so confirm with your driver or guide before you go. Treat it as a short stop on a Muktinath journey, not a full day trip. The nearby Damodar Kunda and Kagbeni are separate places with their own routes.
