The name Poksundo is derived from the district of the same name in Nepal, the Shey Phoksundo National Park and Phoksundo Lake.
At 3600 m of altitude, the Phoksundo Lake is the highest lake in Nepal.
With its deep blue colour, unique clarity and location in one of the most remote areas of the world, it is a place of astounding beauty in the middle of a
natural environment that is still intact.
