Muktinath Yatra with Kids—some tips
Here are a few tips to make your Muktinath Tour, a family trip that is much more convenient and fun.
1. If you are travelling with a young child, hiring a porter is a good idea. Porters carry the children in their ‘doko’ basket which makes the trek amusing for children and convenient for parents.

2. Since it is quite challenging for kids to walk the narrow and crowded streets of Kathmandu, it is advisable to carry a sling or a backpack to carry young children and keep them safe by not letting them walk the streets at all. Most of the streets here are pavement less also.

3. Try and carry disposable diapers with you, if possible. Even though they are easily available in Kathmandu as well as Pokhara, they come for a hefty price.

4. Do not expect facilities like high chairs, cots or nappy changing boards, especially if you are booked with a budget or even a middle range hotel.

5. Before you check-into a hotel in Kathmandu, make sure that they have a play area for kids in the form of an open garden or a roof garden. Also, make it a point to ensure that they are safe for children from all ends. Most of the hotels in Kathmandu have either a garden or a roof garden so finding one should not be a concern.

6. Most of the hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara are family-friendly, i.e. they offer rooms on a triple sharing basis or a suite that has four beds. Both of these options are an ideal choice for a family on a holiday.
The
Muktinath Temple has been progressively more popular with the people looking to travel with kids. If the trip is planned well in advance and with meticulous details, it can be a fun-filled experience not just for the parents but for the kids as well.
