Dudh Kunda Trekking

Rating:  

Trekking to the Dudh Kunda sacred lake with the best guide of Nepal: Cholendra Karki During our 7 months trip around Central Asia, we spent 3 months in Nepal to discover the beauty of Himalayan Mountains. We chose Himalayan Joy adventure because of the friendly spirit of their team. The trekking organization was perfect in all senses, due to our guide's Cholendra professionalism and experience. Fifteen days of amazing views and excellent food, crossing beautiful rhododendron forests until the holy lake where we had a merited day of rest for the team and exploring day for us. The most fascinating part of the trip was the visit to our team members' village, in a deep valley surrounded by forest. We participated to Tihar festival at the nice Karki village of Basa, sharing warm moments with all the people from the community. We strongly recommend Himalayan Joy Adventure as your next travel companion. For us there is no doubt (kunda) about that!

Trip Note

ECO-FRIENDLY

Every day the world is facing a big issue of environmental pollution and in Nepal as well. Our field staffs are quite conscious about environmental pollution at any time and we encourage to all. We would suggest to our guest to use boiled water or water purification pills than buying a bottle of water, it helps to avoid plastic bottles which can takes long time to disappear. During the trek, if possible you can order same items food in a group which minimizes the fuel used and to make campfire is almost forbidden. We would encourage being a responsible traveler so, just leaving foot-print on the trail and bring out all non-biodegradable which you had.

Himalayan Joy Adventures is committed to helping to improve, protect and preserve the natural and cultural beauty of the Himalayan mountain range and Nepal. Join us.
