The name “Timbung Pokhari Trek” comes from the Limbu word “Timbak,” which means “gunshot.” People in the area named the pond “gunfire” because it often makes a sound like gunfire.

Timbung Pokhari is one of 100 new tourist spots added by the federal government in 2018. Its name is just as interesting as its landscape. This is the perfect hike for people who like to go on hikes that aren’t taken very often.

At 4340 meters above sea level, it is very high. It covers an area that is 466 meters long and 154 meters wide. People who are religious in the Hindu faith and people who want to get lost in the beauty of nature should do Timbung Pokhari Trek. People think of it as heaven on earth because it is so beautiful and quiet there.

Even though it snows over the pond for six months out of the year, thousands of pilgrims have been coming here for hundreds of years to do puja. A lot of pilgrims gather around the pond during the month of Shrawan (July–August) and during festivals like Janai Purnima and Nag Panchami.

The area around the pond is home to many rare plants and animals and is also known as the natural city. Essential herbs like Bikham, Kutki, Panchaule, Padmachal, Jatamasi, and Yarsagumba grow in this field. Aromatic herbs like Sunpati, Bhairungpani, and Sikpale are also there.

The Himalayan monal, the Himalayan blue sheep, the Himalayan goral, the bear, the snow leopard, the musk deer, the red panda, and many other animals live in the area. Join us on this trek to see one of Nepal’s hidden gems that has not been opened up to tourists yet.
