Dudhpokhari (Milky Pond) is another tourism destination in Lamjung and it is located within the rural municipality by the same name. Situated at 4,560m above sea level, the Dudhpokhari pond appears to be milky in appearance and derives its name in Nepali as a “Milk Pond”. The area draws in visitors on the day of Janai Purnima (full moon day in the month of August) which is an auspicious day for Hindus to change their sacred thread. The Dudhpokhari area is also considered the base camp for Thorju peak (5,560 m) also known as Dudhpokhari Naamun-La. Gurungs are predominant inhabitants around this place.
