Fun time in the jugal himal base camp

By: Maria Vanessa Milagros

I recently completed the Panch Pokhari Jugal Himal Base Camp Trek with Best Heritage Tour and it was really a lifetime experience. From the breathtaking landscape to the warm hospitality of the local people, everything about this trek exceeded my expectations. The journey began through green forests and traditional villages, where we got to interact with Tamang and Sherpa communities. Their kindness and rich culture made the trek even more special. As we climbed, the scenes starts to become more stunning with crystal clear glacial lakes and towering peaks of Jugal Himal. Panch Pokhari was incredibly peaceful in itself and knowing that it holds such spiritual significance added more to the experience.

Our guide Wangchu Sherpa and porter Pashang Sherpa were incredibly helpful and ensured that we were safe and comfortable. The teahouses and camps were basic but comfortable and home-made foods were delicious after a long day of hiking. If you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure that combines nature, culture and spirituality, this trek is perfect. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a less crowded but equally rewarding Himalayan trekking experience.
