“Shey Phoksundo Lake” is an alpine fresh water deposited lake in “Shey Phoksundo National Park”, located at an elevation of 3,612m above sea level in the Dolpa District. This lake is also listed on Ramsar zone for the purpose of wet land conservation and to support biodiversity and ecosystem. There are more than 20 stupas in the southern belt, and one gompa (monastery) in the eastern side of the lake, where annual prayers and worship are carried out. Traditional Tibetan Culture prevails in upper Dolpo; Buddhism and Bon are prevalent in lower Dolpo, including Ringmo village. Phoksundo Lake is regarded as sacred by Buddhists and followers of Bonpo religion, who believe that the lake contains an underwater palace and a tantric mandala of spirits.
