Panch Pokhari Trekking
In Nepal are many undiscovered trekking routes which are waiting to be explored. Due to high numbers of tourists and the exploitation old trekking regions like Langtang, Annapurna and Sagarmatha have suffered. For this reason I would like to offer you new regions and routes, where the nature is still untouched and the culture and the magnificent view on the Himalaya mountain chain is still waiting to be discovered. Named after the holy 5 lakes, which have a big religious meaning, in the north eastern part of the Sindhupalchowk region is the Panch Pokhari region one of the new and unconsumed trekking destinations in Nepal. The route offers a wonderful view on the Himalaya and its untouched nature as well as multifaceted culture. Panch Pokhari is in a height of about 4100 meters above sea level. This trek leads to a famous place of pilgrimage in Nepal. There you have a wonderful and unforgettable view on the Mt. Jugal Himal, on the Rolwaling Mountains and others. The interesting natur trek starts in Chautara (1450 MASL), the main place of Sindhupalchowks. At some places the route leads through some villages, where various ethnical groups as the Tamang, Newari, Sherpa and Gurung have settled. There are no teahouses along the route, for that reason you will camp. Most part of the trek is free of human settlements.
