Trip ItineraryAfter breakfast, we take a scenic drive form Kathmandu to Dhunche, which is the starting point of the Gosaikunda Trek, which takes approx. 7 hours under normal road condition. During driving, we can see snowcapped mountains like Mt. Annapurna II, Manasalu, the view of Ganesh Himal, and other minor peaks along the route.
Start your day with breakfast in Dhunche, and the ascent towards Chandanbari. The trail takes you through rhododendron and pine trees, with stunning view of the Langtang Himalayan range.
After approx. 6 hours’ trek, we will reach Sing Gompa (Chandanbari) where we get beautiful panoramic view of the landscape. We can also find Buddhist monasteries and a Yak Cheese factory, where we can try the delicious Yak cheese and visit Sing Gompa.
After a hearty breakfast, we will start our trek to Gosaikunda. The trek gradually ascends uphill via rugged and narrow trail, where we walk through barren hills and encounter cold breeze.
After approx. 3 hours, we will reach Lauri Binayak (3920 m) where we get panoramic view of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu and Langtang Ri. We can stop for a lunch break.
Before reaching Gosaikunda, we will pass by Shakyamuni Temple, and other smaller lakes (Saraswati Kunda, Bhairav Kunda, and Surya Kunda). We reach Gosaikunda Lake after approx. 3-4 hours. We can explore the lakes and surrounding area.
Local people believe that Lord Shiva created the Gosaikunda. According to Hindu mythology Gosaikunda is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva and Gauri. Many Hindu pilgrimages visit this place during the full-moon festival every August; the annual festival called Janai Purnima, when devotees worship and take a holy dip in the lake to cleanse themselves of sins.
