<p>Today is the rest day during our trek to Upper Dolpo but for acclimatization we hike around to explore beautiful Phoksundo Lake. Phoksundo Lake is the main attraction in Ringmo Village. Its crystal-clear waters and the vibrant turquoise color make it a breathtaking sight. The lake is surrounded by barren cliffs and dense forests, creating a dramatic and stunning backdrop. We go for short hike to Ringmo Village as it is known for its picturesque surroundings and the nearby Shey Phoksundo National Park. Within this national park, there is a famous Buddhist monastery called "Tshowa Monastery" or "Tshowa Gompa." This monastery is situated near the stunning Phoksundo Lake, which is one of the deepest alpine freshwater lakes in Nepal. The Tshowa Monastery adds to the spiritual and cultural significance of the area and is often visited by trekkers and travelers exploring the Dolpa region.</p>
