Dudh Kunda trek is a newly opened but popular trekking trail in the Solukhumbu region. It is a combination of teahouse and camping trek and is perfect for nature lovers. Dudh Kunda Lake, known as Shorong Yul Lha (protector of Solu region) is located at the foot of Number Himal (Dudhkunda Himal). Dudh Kunda, a holy lake surrounded by mountainous terrain and believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, is a popular destination for Hindu pilgrimage tours and adventure trekkers. It is a holy milky lake as people believe that taking a dip into the icy cold water will free them from all their sins. During full-moon nights in August, pilgrims and Jhankris (Shaman Priests) hold a week-long celebration here. This trek starts with the flight to Phaplu and treks to Dudhkunda via Salleri, Ringmo, Takshindu and Saharsbeni, then trek back to Ringmo to Phaplu and flight back to Kathmandu. You can enjoy panoramic scenes of Mt. Everest, Mt. Numbur, the Everest Himalayan range, rhododendron and pine forests, wild animals and birds such as bears, leopards, jackals, mountain thars, Pheasant and many more. Many Ethnic groups such as Sherpas, Khaling Rais, Tamangs, Magars, and Gurungs live here. The hospitality of the local people is one of the most heartwarming experiences of the Solu area with a long experience. This is a journey to a part of the world where very few people have set foot until now, a cultural journey for the young and old alike.

Equipment:
Trekking in the Himalayas requires equipment and footwear according to the season and the location. A single trek can start in the warm and humid climate in the lowlands, and bring you to passes above 5,000m. Solid trainers (“sneakers”) are adequate on most trails but bring sturdy boots for crossing passes that may be covered with snow. Climbing expeditions requires special equipment. Sandals and flip-flops are practical for an evening in lodges or camp. You can buy any kind of footwear in Nepal. No, it is not possible to live off the land in Nepal. You cannot just set off into the woods with a little money, a basket and a fishing rod and expect to manage on your own, Not only is the vegetation where there are fruit, wild herbs and other wild edibles limited, private community-owned, but fish is sparse and hunting is forbidden. It can also be difficult to buy food locally due to scarcity and poverty.
