This journey is rich with picturesque landscapes and settlements of various Hindu and Bhuddist cultures including Brahman, Chhetri, Sherpa, and Tamang.

Trip Notes
This trekking route has been chosen with attention to preventing AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) through adequate time for acclimatization via a gradual ascent. This route is considered challenging, involving an average of 4 – 6 hours of walking daily on mostly uphill terrain. Autumn (mid Sep – mid Dec) and Spring (Mar – May) are the best seasons to trek to Panch Pokhari, with clear, sunny days and the best visibility. The Winter months (late Dec – Feb) can also be enjoyable, though the cold can be discouraging to some. The summer monsoon (Jun – Aug) will bring plenty of rain, though flora will be exceptionally lush.
