29 reviews in Google

Dudh Kunda Trekking is an unexplored trekking route and a newly opened trekking route in Nepal. Few trekkers trek this route; it is a cultural journey for the family, students, and all. The Dudh Kunda trek itself is one of the best destination places in the Everest region. Dudh Kunda is believed to be a holy lake, and locals believe that taking a dip in the holy water will have the wishes granted. During full-moon nights in August, pilgrims and Jhankris (shaman priests) hold a weeklong celebration here.
