The Damodar lakes are located three Day walk from north east of the main Mustang trekking route & very close to Tibetan border.

Damodar Kunda (Lake) situated in a basin in the Damodar Himal and flows southward through a rain shadow valley on the eastern edge of the Annapurna Range. There are two versions of the Origin of the Kali Gandaki River; one will say, the river comes from a lake near the Tibetan border by the name of Damodar-kunda north east of Muktinath (a 2-3 day trip per foot away). Others will say the river appears from a crack of the Dongmar mountain north west of Lo Mantang (what is much further north than the first description) and that the waters of Damodar kunda are unique to themselves. There are several lakes, the area being locally called "Charang the land of hilly lakes."
