Mustang Damodar Kunda Trek

13 Days

The Damodar Kunda (lake) is a religious lake famous for Hindu devotees. It lies at a height of 4890 meters and is located in high Himalayas at the north of Annapurna range. Therefore, the weather here is the cold and windy. It is a great place to visit during the festival season, especially during the full of moon of August, as many Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims visit this area at that time. You get to experience amazing views of Tibetan plateaus & Damodar Himal from the viewpoint around Damodar Kund.

The govern-ment has opened following previously restricted trekking areas for the group trekkers. Trekking permits will not be issued to individual trekkers in those trekking areas. Require minimum 2 Pax to do this trekking because it is a restricted area.
