Lake is a famous holy place for Hindu people. It is area of Tibetan plateau landscape to the remote area of Nepal near from Tibet. It is believed that people should reach once in a lifetime and take a holy bath here. Bath in Damodar Kunda takes away from all sins done in a previous and current lifetime. The main source of Gandaki River is Damodar Kunda. It is also a good place to find Shaligram. Damodar in Upper Mustang is a restricted area of Nepal government. A special permit is applied in this trekking area.

We take the short flight to Jomsom from Pokhara and reach Muktinath. Muktinath is the god of salvation and famous pilgrimage places for Hindu and Buddhist. It lies in a foot of Annapurna Himalayan range. We reach Lo – Manthang by crossing several typical Tibetan villages. Lo – Manthang is the capital of the local kingdom.

The best season of Damodar Kunda and Muktinath Trekking is from March to October.
