Panchpokhari Trek (Five Sacred Lakes)

  • Panch Pokhari
  • 0 booked
  • Duration: 4 nights
  • Language: English

Overview

Panchpokhari, meaning “Five Sacred Lakes”, is a hidden gem in Sindhupalchowk district, central Nepal. Resting at 4,100 m, these glacial lakes hold immense spiritual importance for both Hindus and Buddhists, especially during Janai Purnima in August.

Surrounded by the Jugal Himal and Rolwaling ranges, Panchpokhari remains untouched and less crowded, making it perfect for trekkers seeking solitude, spirituality, and cultural immersion. The trail passes through Tamang and Sherpa villages, rhododendron forests, alpine meadows, and rugged highlands. As part of Langtang National Park, it is home to Himalayan Thar, musk deer, and numerous bird species.
