Shey Phoksundo Lake starts from Dunai, and takes a little over 20 hours spread over three days to reach there. It is a tiring walk first, all along the Bheri river and then the Phoksundo khola from Suligad all the way to the top. The trail from the gateway of the Park to the lake is striking.
The lake's surface is azure and pure on clear days. In addition, the lush green surroundings, the mountains, the cool breeze all combined to reach us to the height of 3660 m. Before the lake you will have a glimpse of the breathtaking waterfall, just 10 minutes from the turquoise lake.
The lake is surrounded by hills on all sides. It is the pristine and unspoilt beauty of the lake which is the highest and deepest and second largest (after Rara Lake) lake of the country. On clear sky it is possible to see the three glaciers. The sight is really breathtaking.
