Description

The route I want to submit for FKT is from the village of Chimti to Panch Pokhari in Nepal. It is a popular route to the 5 lakes that are holy in Buddhism and Hinduism. The traditional time to visit the 5 lakes for religious reasons is in July. It is often hiked in 4 to 5 days by locals, but it is rarely visited by Westerners. This is the ascent portion of this GPX file. My trip report of this effort is here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19gwOYhfL25ZGQxTL12c96IBZkIqsAIAxpQ3FgsVsBPI/edit
