Panch Pokhari, Nepal
From series “The Highest Mountain Lakes of the Planet”Height: 5 494 meters.
Nepal is one of the world's top runners after the number of beautiful high mountain lakes. The system of five lakes, the Panch Pokhari, is located on the territory of the large Makalu-Barun nature reserve. Five crystal clear lakes, surrounded by snow-capped mountain peaks, are at an altitude of 5,494 meters. The route to the lakes is relatively easy. Even the tourists without any physical preparation can walk in the company of the guide in the mountains.
It is noteworthy that few small settlements are located not far from the lakes despite the enormous distance from civilization and the complicated climate. The aborigines have begun to settle this area centuries ago. The Hindus consider Panch Pokhari lakes to be sacred, so there are many pilgrims among the guests of this area. The hiking trails developed for the tourists, which lead to the beautiful lakes, extend through the most beautiful mountain districts.
