A Sacred Lake Beneath Number Himal Near Everest
Dudh Kunda (Milky Lake) lies at the foot of Numbur Himal. It is a holy lake. The trek explores the lower Everest region, away from the tourist highway of the main Everest trekking route.
The trail passes through Junbesi. You can visit Thupten Choling monastery. The hospitality here is warm and uncommercialized, unlike some stops on the popular Everest Base Camp trail.
The lake gets its name from its milky white water. The view of Numbur Himal towering over the lake is majestic, offering a serene alternative to the busy Everest summit viewpoints.
The higher reaches near the lake require camping. It is a moderate trek, suitable for those who want to see the Solu region's secret without the crowds of a Mount Everest expedition.
For a blend of spiritualism and mountain views without the Everest trekking crowds, Dudh Kunda is a rewarding choice.
