Best Time for Dudh Kunda Lake Trekking

Dudh Kunda trek is a camping trek destination in Lower Everest. Thus camping trek must be considered in favorable weather conditions. Camping in cold and rainy season is not recommended, however people trek in those time of the year as well.

Best time to trek to Dudh kunda is in the Autumn and Spring. Autumn are the months from September to November and Springs are the months from March to May. These months are favored more over Monsoon & winter is because of good weather conditions. During these months; temperature is mild and sky is clear. Blue sky and white mountains makes your trip a best trip to unexplored region of Everest Himalaya.

Why not to trek Dudh Kunda in the monsoon? Because these months are supposed to have all day rain. And to trek in the rainy season in the off the beaten trail is not fun. And also this is a camping trek so accommodation will not be comfortable. Wet body and sleeping in the small tents will not be fun rather a challenge, if you want to accept. And more importantly – Monsoon season is supposed to have clouded sky for most of day light. Thus you might not be able to see what you have expected to see in Dudh Kunda Trekking.

But Still in Monsoon, Dudh kunda lake observers a big festival. The festival is called janai purnima and is celebrated among Hindu as well as Buddhist Community. This lake is thus called a holy lake.

Arun taking picture with local shaman whom he met on dudh kunda lake trekking in the monsoon season — *Local Shaman trekked all the way to this Holy lake. Along with these Shamans, thousands of Locals visit the Holy lake of Dudh Kunda in the festival of Janai Purnima.*

Why not to trek in the winter? Camping trek in the winter is supposeingly less fun than in the mentioned good season to trek to Dudh Kunda. Winter days will have clear sky and temperature will be mild and favorable. But the nights and morning (before sun rise); the temperature will be too much cold. Cold is the only reason for winter to be unfavorable month for Trekking to Dudh Kunda lake. In winter – you will be able to see the frozen lake of Dudh Kunda – whoich you will not get to see in other season trek to Dudh Kunda lake.
