Mustang Damodar Kunda Trekking |
 |
Trip code NAP-MDK-402 |
|
|
The elevation of the Damodar Kund is (4890m); it
is a cold and windy place. We recommend you
visit here during the full moon of August
because this is the traditional time to come for
Hindus and Buddhists. Otherwise the best time
for trekking in this region is between April and
September. The views at altitudes a bit higher
than the lake are spectacular and it is just a
short climb up some of the hills to reach the
Tibetan Plateau, the Damodar Himal to the north
and the Annapurna Himalaya Massive to the south.
We will also visit Muktinath, an important
pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Hindus, where
we will explore its 108 waterspouts in the shape
of cow's heads as well as the Jwala Mai Temple
with its eternal flame, and the pagoda-styled
Vishnu temple, the three of which auspiciously
represent the combination of earth, fire and
water. From Muktinath, we will have outstanding
views of the colorful valley and neighboring
villages.
