Panch Pokhari trek is a beautiful destination and the least visited trek in the trek which is in the north of Kathmandu. Panch Pokhari means five lakes and among them, Surya Kunda is the biggest. This place is sacred for Hindu, Buddhist, and Bombo followers who are a small group of natural healers.

this is the place of significant spiritual energy for Bombo followers where they come together to join the annual powerful spiritual festival with the Hindus and Buddhists in August.

This infrequent visited remote trekking trail is near the base of Jugal Himalayan which provides many snow-capped mountain views like Dorje Lakpa(6,966m), Phurbi Chhyachu (6,637m), and Madiya (6,257m)

This trek also offers plenty of scenic views of lush green grassland, and colorful wildflowers passing through Newar, Tamang, and Sherpa settlements which are all wonderful off-the-beaten-path trekking experiences in Nepal.

Getting to the trailhead of the Panch Pokhari trek

There are few getaways to reach Panch Pokhari in which the traditional trek route starts from Chautara and can be reached by road takes around 5 hours drive. There is now another famous gateway which is Malachi Bazaar, which is now famous among trekkers in a short period of time as you reach Panch Pokhari in just a 2-3 days walk.

Trek route to Panch Pokhari

The trek route goes driving to Chautara which is the district headquarter of Sindhupalchok district then the trek goes to Sano Pokhran danda and to Kami danda for the first and second night. The trek continues to Pauwabas and to Hike Bhanjyang gradually for another two nights and the last two days go through Nasimpati and Panch Pokhari which is the final destination. Then it takes another three days to finish the trek via Tupi Danda, Dhap, and finally at Melamchi bazaar.

Required permits and fees for the Panch Pokhari trek

To trek to Panch Pokhari, you need two types of permits first you Need a "TIMS card"(trekking information management system) which costs $20 USD for independent trekkers per head and $10 USD for organized trekkers per head. The last one is the "Langtang national park entrance fee" which costs 3000 Nepalese rupees per head.

Beautiful Nepal

Trekking with Narayan and his team was amazin! One of the best experiences of my life and aside from the vast landscapes and incredible views, the guides on this trip were so informative, humble and just beautiful people. I hope to visit with them again so day and can't recommend their tours enough!

Excellent!

I am not an expert on trekking but I love it. From my experience, if you have a plan to trek, the important is you have to find a good guide and travel agency you can trust. I am lucky I found both. So if you have a plan in mind to go to Nepal.. just try to contact them. I believe that you will imprese on their service. 5 trips in Nepal since 2017.. until now I am looking forward to going back to trek with them again 😊

FAQs

Q1. How difficult is the Panch Pokhari trek?

Panch Pokhari trek involves lots of uphill climbing through the forest and steep climb through stone staircase so, you need to have the physical fitness to do this trek.

Q2. How is the accommodation in Panch Pokhari Trek?

Regarding the accommodation in this trek, teahouse accommodation is not as developed as other trekking regions of Nepal. Moreover, there are no lodges in most of the day to day night camp except Hile Bhanjyang, Nasimpati, and a rustic place to stay at Panch Pokhari. So, at least for a few days, we need to arrange tents and supplies to do this trek.

Q3. How much does it cost to trek to Panch Pokhari?

The cost always depends on the types of quality services you ask for during the trek. our trekking package provides normal service providing three meals during the trek and tents for a few days' costs $1360 USD per person.

Q4. What is the highest elevation you get to Panch Pokhari Trek?

The highest elevation we sleep in is near Panch Pokhari which is at the elevation of 4200m. We also climb up to the viewpoint hilltop which is about 150 meters higher than Panch Pokhari.
