On the way up we stopped at Phokte Pokhari and our guide pointed out how the lake is shaped exactly like the map of Nepal. Everyone in the group was so amazed and took so many photos. He was so full of local knowledge and pride. Himalaya Hub is a trusted trekking agency in Nepal and their route included these hidden surprises beautifully. The Panch Pokhari Trek Nepal is a newly opened route and it still feels completely untouched. One of the best trekking agencies in Nepal for off the beaten path adventures.
Our guide told us Panch Pokhari is ranked in the top 9 of 100 new tourism destinations by Nepal Tourism Board. After seeing it I completely understand why. Himalaya Hub is the best trekking company in Nepal. Hidden gem of Nepal that almost nobody knows about yet.

Sacred Five Lakes Trek in Solukhumbu
The Panch Pokhari Solukhumbu Trek took my breath away. Standing at 4,460m looking down at five crystal clear glacial lakes surrounded by snow and silence was one of the most powerful moments of my life. Our guide told us the names of each lake Buwa, Aama, Chhora, Buhari, and Ghothalo and that they are named after a family. It made the whole place feel even more sacred. Himalaya Hub is a professional trekking company and their route to these newly opened lakes was perfectly planned. Highly recommended trekking company.
Junbesi village at 2,700m was one of the most charming places I visited in Nepal. Beautiful stone houses, friendly Sherpa families, and the Thupten Choeling Monastery nearby with hundreds of monks and nuns. Our guide knew the monastery history and told us about the monks who came from Tibet after 1959. He was so respectful and knowledgeable. Himalaya Hub is one of the best trekking agencies in Nepal for cultural experiences. The Pikey Peak Trekking route through these Sherpa villages was so warm and genuine. Great service from start to finish.
Our guide told us Pikey means Deity of the Sky in Sherpa language and standing on that summit I understood why. The sky felt so close and the mountains were everywhere. He was so full of local knowledge and pride. Himalaya Hub is a great Kathmandu trekking agency. Best short trek Nepal for mountain views. Amazing experience.
