Are Mukteshwar, Kedarnath and Gurudongmar in Nepal?

By Base Camp Tours, licensed Nepal travel agency (Tourism License 3121/080) · Updated · 1 min read

The short answer

No. Mukteshwar is a hill town in Uttarakhand, India, and Kedarnath is a famous Shiva temple in Uttarakhand. Yumthang and Gurudongmar are in Sikkim, India. They sometimes appear in searches for Nepal because of similar-sounding names or because trips are sold together in the Himalayan region.

If you want a Nepal pilgrimage, Pashupatinath, Muktinath, Janakpur and Lumbini are the main places. If you are looking for Uttarakhand or Sikkim, those are separate trips. Check the country and state before you book.
