Panch Pokhari is a very well known destination in the tourism sector in Nepal. In the Nepali language, Panchpokhari means Five Ponds. Moreover, Paanch Pokhari is a very holy and famous place for the Buddhist & Hindu pilgrimage trip in the Sindhupalchok district. In this place, every year a fair is usually held on the day of Janai Purnima, and visitors throng to this site almost throughout the year. The number of tourists visiting the Panchpokhari included in the hundred major destinations by the government is on the rise.

However, this time we visited the beautiful tourist areas above the Panchpokhari. After walking for three days from Panch Pokhari at an altitude of 4065 meters, we reached Gangchenpo Base Camp at an altitude of 4900 meters. We understood the potential of trekking tourism in that area. Here we bring you a wonderful journey from Kathmandu to Panchpokhari and from Panchpokhari to Gangchenpo Base Camp. We here introduce you to the high mountain and mountain’s biodiversity seen during the trek, the incredible beauty of nature, and the beauty of Langsen Valley, which can be compared with the Dolomites mountain valley of Italy.
