Damodar Kunda and Saribung Pass Trek

• A rare adventure over some of the most rewarding and challenging high passes of the trans-Himalaya
• A journey through the ancient kingdom of Lo — Buddhist monasteries, the walled city, historical forts, stupas and cave monasteries
• Sacred Damodar Kunda at 4,890 m, in the lap of Damodar Himal (6,706 m), one of the holiest sites in the Himalaya and revered by both Hindus and Buddhists
