Damodar Kunda Lake Trekking
The Damodar Kunda (lake) is famous in Hindu religion. It is situated at he rain shadow area of High Himalayas, north of Annapurna range. The elevation of the Damodar Kunda is just 4890 meters, it is cold and windy place. We will recommend you to visit it during the full moon of August because every year a big festival occurs at this place where thousands of Hindu and Buddhist pligrmages gather from different regions of Nepal and India. Usually, you may visit it from the month of April to September. Festival time will be great to visit Damodar Kund. The Tibetan plateau and Damodar Himal to the north and the Annapurna Himalayan massive to the south can be seen clearly. The Damodar lake is located at three Day walk from north east of the main Mustang trekking route & very close to Tibetan border. Damodar Kunda lies on restricted upper mustang between Kagbeni and Muktinath.
