Overview

Damodar
Kunda is situated at the lap of high Himalayas in Upper Mustang area of Nepal. In the column of Barah Puran; Lord Krishna has said that who pays a visit to this Kunda and takes a deep-bath, they will be freed from all the sin. It is also mentioned in Puran that two sons of Kubers were suffering from their wrongdoing & sin, which they did in their previous birth but lord Krishna suggested them to take bath in this Kunda and immediately after taking bath in this Kunda they were released from all their sin.
 
A common name for three lakes Brahma Kunda, Rudra Kunda and Ananta Kunda, Damodar kunda is located at the altitude of 22,000 ft. in the remote Himalayan district of Mustang in western Nepal. There is also a large meadow of kusha. As a motherland of shalagram, this shrine is of utmost importance for all Hindus on the earth; Gandaki River is believed to originate from this holy lake 1..
 
Normally for Helicopter tour of Damodar Kunda 2-3 pax will be perfect because helicopter in Nepal doesnot carry more than 3 people at one time. We have small helicopter so only 2-3 pax can accommodate at one time. Helicopter cannot take big group at one time because of high altitude as well. So joining with other group is not possible for Damodar kunda tour 1..
