Panch Pokhari (or Pach Pokhari) is a group of five Hindu holy lakes located in the Sindhupalchowk District of Nepal. The lakes are situated at an altitude of around 4,100 meters (13,451 feet) in the Langtang National Park, making them one of the highest altitude wetlands in the world.

"Panch Pokhari" translates to "Five Lakes" in Nepali, and the lakes are considered sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists. Every year, during the Janai Purnima festival, hundreds of pilgrims trek to the lakes to perform religious rituals and take a holy dip.

The area surrounding Panch Pokhari offers stunning views of the Himalayan range, including peaks like Jugal Himal. The trek to Panch Pokhari is also popular for its natural beauty, including lush forests, alpine meadows, and diverse wildlife. The route is less commercialized and less crowded compared to other trekking routes in Nepal, making it a great choice for those seeking a more remote and serene trekking experience.
