Guide
The Paanch Pokhari Trek (Five Sacred Lakes) is one of
Nepal’s most beautiful off-beat journeys — a perfect combination of
spirituality, tranquility, and Himalayan adventure. Located in Sindhupalchok
district, about 100 km northeast of Kathmandu, this trek offers mesmerizing
mountain views, untouched nature, and a deep sense of peace.
“Paanch Pokhari” literally means five ponds — a cluster of
five pristine alpine lakes nestled at an altitude of 4,100 meters. These lakes
are considered holy by both Hindus and Buddhists, who gather every year during
the Janai Purnima festival to offer prayers. Surrounded by the majestic peaks
of Jugal Himal, Dorje Lakpa, and Langtang Range, the lakes reflect the purity
of the Himalayas and the divine stillness of the human spirit.
Guru Travels Ltd. invites you to join this scenic and
soulful trek — a journey where every step connects you closer to nature,
culture, and inner calm.
