Trip Overview
Damodar Kunda Heli Tour
Buddhism and Hinduism both revere the Damodar Kunda (lake). The location is in the Annapurna range of the High Himalayas. The Damodar Kunda is located at an elevation of 5400 meters and is a windy and chilly place. April through September are often the best months to go. A wonderful time to visit Damodar Kunda would be during a festival. Situated near the Tibetan border, the Damodar lakes are about three days’ walk from the northeast of the major Mustang hiking path. Situated between Kagbeni and Muktinath, Damodar Kunda is situated on a restricted upper mustang.
A secret book called the Barah Purana describes the holy significance of the Damodar Kund. Naturally, the River Kaligandaki must be mentioned when discussing Damodar Kunda. The source of the Kaligandaki River is the Damodar Kund. As it flows southward, reaching the Indian border, it depicts a lying Lord Vishnu, with the fortunate feet of Gajendra Moksha deva Dham, Nawal Parasi, as the feet of the auspicious head, Muktinath as the mouth, Kuruk Kshetra of Palpa district as the waist, and Shaligram Chakra as the chest. One can start at the advantageous lakes of Damodar Kund and locate such a lovely amplification of the Lord. Lord Krishna states in the second column of the Barah Purana that anyone who visits this Kunda and takes a long bath would be cleansed of all sin. The Purana also tells of two sons of Kuber who were suffering from the wrongdoing and sin they had committed in their previous birth. Lord Krishna advised them to bathe in this Kunda, and almost immediately afterward they were freed from all the sin they had committed. Thus, it is impossible to sum up the reputation of a visit to this hallowed location in a few sentences.
