To Dudh Kunda, Milk Lake (4900m)

The sacred lake of Dudh Kunda lies at the base of Mt. Numbur , the mountain regarded by the locals as being the home of the protective deity of Solu. In August there is an influx of devotees who come to perform cleansing rituals at the lake. At other times you are unlikely to meet anyone on this rarely traveled trail.

The main trail to Dudh Kunda starts at Ringmo on the route between Junbesi and Tragsindho La. An alternative route to the lake starts at Thupten Chholing and follows a spectacular, isolated ridge through dense forest and then open, and sometimes rocky, yak grazing pastures to join the main trail at Sarsarbeni. This latter trail is quite remote and a should be guide needed if you trek your self you may be miss the proper route.

From Ringmo, the trek to Dudh Kunda takes a minimum of five days but at least one extra day for exploring around the lake should be allowed for. While at the lake, be sure to walk right around its shore and look for the spring, high up on the Northeastern side, which is considered to be the source of the holy water.
