Nestled in the Himalayas and breathing-taking landscapes, it is equally blessed with religious and cultural values.

Diary from Panch Pokhari
Rested in the lap of Jugal and Dorje Lhakpa Himal, the pond enthralls its viewers by reflecting itself in turquoise blue, white and black textures throughout the day. The water sources cascading down from the rocks and the reflection of snow-capped mountains add to its evergreen beauty.
This touristic spot is enlisted as one among the to-be-promoted and developed 100 destinations issued by the Nepal Government in 2018. The journey starts all the way from Kathmandu to Melamchi ending at Bhotang the first day. After trekking for 10 to 12 hours, the next day comes to an end at Nhoshyam Pati which is located at 39,00m above the sea level. With four hours of trek further, Panch Pokhari is finally reached on the third day.
