About
A system of 19 oligotrophic lakes at 4,700–5,000 m in Sagarmatha National Park, designated a Ramsar site in September 2007 (7,770 ha of associated wetlands).
The main lake, Gokyo Cho (Dudh Pokhari), has the village of Gokyo on its eastern shore; the lakes are sacred to Hindus and Buddhists, and about 500 Hindus bathe here during Janai Purnima.
