Damodar Kund is a famous trekking in Nepal but it is bit cold and windy place.

Usually, you can visit April to September every year. Festival time will be great for visit Damodar Kund. From Damodar Kund, the views are great from some viewpoints a bit higher than the lakes, just a short climb up some of the hills.
