Jugal Himal is the nearest mountain to the northeast from Kathmandu. It's a marvelous trek through remote traditional
Tamang villages and luxuriant forests.
The drive from Kathmandu to Melamchi Pul takes about five hours. Then we ascend a series of terraced and forested ridges. The trek towards the holy lakes named, "Panch Pokhari" (five lakes), situated at 14,000 ft., is another breathtaking attraction. Enjoy the tranquility of trails that offer superb mountain views, green Himalayan ranges, and running rivers with water falls. Only a few camping trekkers visit here, because lodges or other shelter facilities are not available. This trek is special for trekkers who would prefer not to meet many other tourists, or spend time in the remote villages. The best time is from mid October until November, characterized by good weather and beautiful farming lands with a wide variety of crops, or from late March until April, which is the best time for rhododendron, magnolia, primrose and other spring flowers.
