Panch Pokhari Trek is named after five holy ponds and Hindus religiously respect the place. This is just northeast of Kathmandu toward show wall of the beautiful Himalayan view and pristine nature with distinct vision is the most attraction of the trek.
After having the breakfast at one of the restaurant of Thamel, we take a bus ride out of the valley and up through the hills. After 5 hours bus ride we will reach to our trekking start point called Chautara. First night we will spend of outdoor adventure right a way from the small town in a ground. Our guide gives a short brief of 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 the people in the small village, passing through the dense forestations and meadows. The top of the Panch Pokhari (5 ponds) offers an excellent view of Jugal himal range, Rolwaling range, Gosainkunda etc. On the last day of the trip we take bus ride back to Kathmandu from Melamchi where we spend the final night of our trip.
