Trip Overview

About the Dudh Pokhari Trek

Dudh Pokhari is a newly opened challenging trekking route situated on the border of Lamjung, Manang and Kaski districts at an altitude of 4,560m. Dudh Pokhari means Milky Lake. Legends have it that the mother of the 2 kings, Gorkha’s and Lamjung’s, dropped her breast milk in this lake to stop the fighting between the two brothers. So this lake is also known as Spirit Pond and the epicentre of unity in Nepal.

Dudh Pokhari is believed by Hindus to be the abode of God Shiva, which is why people believe that if you take a bath in this lake three times, then all your sins wash away and the door to heaven opens for you. During Janai Purnima, thousands of pilgrims and visitors come to worship here. Dudhpokhari lies in a dense grass field defined as Thorju, which is also known as the Base camp of Namun La and Dudhpokhari. Namun La is situated at an elevation of 5560m

Three hundred years ago, Dudh Pokhari was densely inhabited by the Tamu Community people. Those people were the ones who descended from Tibet, finding a place for settlement. Now, these people still dwell in Namun Bhanjan,g popularly known as the Gurung committee, which is an alternative name for the Tamu People.

With the dominance of Gurung people living in this region, this place is also known as Tamuwan. Dudh Pokhari is a great opportunity to know and enjoy Gurung Culture, making it a perfect cultural and Historical Trek. Besides that, you can have the spectacular views of Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Himal Chuli (7,896m), Dr.Harka Gurung Chuli (7,871m), Annapurna ranges, including Manang valley and Lamjung Himal.

 

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
