This is a side trip from the GHT, going northwards to Phoksundo Lake. This lake is so beautiful that it would be a shame to skip it. Trekking in Dolpa is a unique experience. You walk through
beautiful landscapes, pass through pine forests alongside wild rivers, and have views of beautiful snowcapped mountains. Phoksundo Lake is clearly of an incomparable beauty. Its deepblue and emerald colours are enchanting. In Ringmo, the village close to the lake, you can experience Bonpo culture.
