Damodar Kund trek has been open in the year of 2002 for all trekkers & Pilgrimage foreigners. Now your dream of seeing to Damodar Kund can be fulfilled. Monterosa Treks arranges this trek for trekker/Pilgrimage. We have a lot of experiences in sending trekker in remote areas like upper Mustang, Dolpa, Manaslu & other non touristy area in Nepal & Tibet.

The Damodar Kund {lake} is famous for Hindu and Buddhist religious pilgrims; it is situated in the north of Annapurna range. The elevation of the Damodar Kund is just 4890 meters; it is cold and windy place. We will recommend to you visit during  August every year, because every year there is a big festival up there and many pilgrimages Hindu and Buddhist visit at this time of August. Usually, you can visit in April to September as well every year. From, a little bit higher than the lake, the views around there are great looking .Damodar Himal to the north and the Annapurna Himalayan massif is clearly visible to the south. The walk to the Damodar Kund (lake) is easy but quite long walking distance. Don't worry about the altitude; we will arrange you the Gamow Bag. Air pressure bag. The highest camp is at the Damodar Kund just 4890 meters high.

The Damodar lakes are located to three days walk north east of the main Mustang trekking route & it is very close to the border with Tibet.
