Damodar Kunda, named after another name of Lord Krishna, is a glacial lake perched at 4890 meters above sea level. For Hindus, a dip in its icy waters is a holy ritual, washing away sins and granting blessings. The serene atmosphere, with prayer flags fluttering in the wind and the chants of pilgrims echoing through the mountains, creates an unforgettable spiritual experience.
The helicopter journey itself is a breathtaking spectacle. Fly past snow-capped peaks, glaciers gleaming in the sunlight, and dramatic valleys carved by ancient rivers. The panorama of over 65 Himalayan peaks, including Annapurna I and Dhaulagiri I, will leave you awestruck.
The arid landscapes of Upper Mustang, with their dramatic canyons, sandstone cliffs, and ancient Tibetan villages, offer a glimpse into a different world. Observe the unique culture and traditions of the Tibetan people, and feel transported to a timeless land.
