The Himalayan range can be seen in all its splendor, and Phoksondo lake with the Ringmo village provide some of the most beautiful Nepalese scenery. We follow the ancient Tibetan salt caravan route, across two high passes and through the wilderness in one of Nepal’s most remote areas. In the Dolpo region the monsoon, created by the sea winds blowing from the Gulf of Bengal, is tempered by the Dhaulaghiri range and trekking is therefore also possible during the summer, a period during which flora explodes in all its splendor: orchids, edelweiss, campanules, forget-me-nots.

Why is the phoksundo lake have an unearthly turquoise blue color?
Its located in one of Nepals many mountainous regions. It takes its colour due to the rock flour that enters it from the glaciers in the mountains. The glaciers grind the rocks to very fine particles and they create a turquoise blue colour while suspended in the water. Many glacial lakes have this characteristic.
