A trekker with a blue backpack walks up a stone-paved path toward a rocky ridge and prayer flags at Panch Pokhari

Toward the flags, Panch Pokhari ridgeline

A trekker follows the stone path up the ridge toward the prayer flags.

A trekker with a blue backpack and a red trekking pole climbs a long, stone-paved path up a dry hillside. Rust-brown grass and scrub cover the slope, and prayer flags and a small white shrine mark the way near the ridge. Dark rock rises above in warm, low light on the Panch Pokhari trek.
