Kapuche Sikles Lake Trek-10 Days

Kapuche Glacier Lake, located at 2546 meters, is the world’s lowest-elevation glacier lake. It’s about 40 meters deep and can reach sub-zero temperatures during winter. The lake’s name, Kapuche, translates to “fallen ice settled on a valley.” Despite its calm environment and occasional avalanches, there’s no boating provision due to its lack of exploration. It can be combined with Sikles Village Trek.

The Kapuche Sikles Lake Trek itinerary starts from Pokhara Deep and passes through settlements like Aatighar Mauja, Thak, Tara Hill, Sikles, and Hugu. Accommodations include lodges, homestays, and outdoor camping. The trek is one of the least traveled, ideal for autumn and spring, offering scenic views and cave visits.

Kapuche Glacier Lake, located in Nepal, is the world’s lowest glacier lake due to its unique position at the foot of two majestic mountains, Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal.

The lake’s beauty is due to the natural phenomenon of snow flowing through the glacier, forming the lake. Kapuche’s low elevation indicates different climatic conditions, providing valuable insights into climate change and glacial dynamics at lower altitudes.

It is also easily accessible for tourists and researchers, as it doesn’t require a journey into hazardous high-altitude regions. However, as global warming intensifies, lower-lying glaciers like Kapuche Lake are especially vulnerable, providing critical insights into the broader impact of climate change on glacier-fed ecosystems.
