About Panch Pokhari

Panch Pokhari (Five Lakes) is a cluster of sacred glacial lakes nestled at 4,100m in the Sindhupalchowk district. Considered holy by both Hindus and Buddhists, these five interconnected lakes are a major pilgrimage site, especially during Janai Purnima festival when thousands gather to take a sacred dip. The trek to Panch Pokhari passes through dense forests, alpine meadows, and traditional Tamang villages, offering a rewarding blend of cultural and natural beauty away from the mainstream trekking routes.
