Panch
Pokhari Trekking
Panch Pokhari is named after
5 holy ponds and Hindus religiously
respect the place. This is just northeast
of Kathmandu toward the snow wall. The
beautiful Himalayan view and pristine
nature with district culture is the
biggest attraction of this trek.
We
take a bus ride out of the valley and
up through the hills. After 5 hours
bus ride we arrive at the trek starting
point called Chautara. We are going
to spend the first night of our outdoor
adventure right nearby small town. Our
guide gives a short lesson about trekking
on the first night. He also explains
about the altitude sickness and all
the beautiful spots from where you can
see an excellent view of mountains.
During
the rest of our 12 days trip, we observe
the different ways of life, culture
and come in contact with people in the
small village, passing through the dense
forests and meadows. The top of Panch
Pokhari (5 lakes) offers an excellent
view of Jugal Himal range, Rolwaling
range, etc. On the last day of the trip
we take a bus ride back to Kathmandu
from Melamchi where we spend the final
night of our trip.
