Pathibhara Devi Temple (Mukkumlung)
Bells, butter lamps & quiet devotion
About
One of the most significant Shaktipeeth in Nepal, located on a hilltop at 3,794 m, about 19.4 km north-east of Phungling; pilgrims from Nepal and India visit believing the pilgrimage fulfils their wishes.
The Limbu people revere the site as Mukkumlung, the natural form of their goddess Yuma Sammang, while Hindus see it as Goddess Durga; a 16th-century-scale rock shrine was replaced with a Durga statue in 2001 under the Pathibhara Area Development Committee. It also serves as a secondary route to the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek.
