Gosaikunda Lake Trek is a popular trekking route in the Langtang region of Nepal, renowned for its natural beauty and religious significance. Gosaikunda Lake is located 147 km north of Kathmandu in Langtang National Park. Inhabited by Tibetan migrants, Tamangs, and Sherpas people.

Passing through the lush Rhododendrons forest, filled with conifers and oaks we will have plenty of opportunities to immerse ourselves in the natural surroundings and wildlife. The stunning mountain views of Langtang Lirung,(Alt 7230m) Yala Peak,(Alt 5530m) Gan Cheppu Himal range,(Alt 74220m) Nyakhang Peaks. (Alt 5840m) Gosainkunda Lake,(Alt 4330m) GaneshHimal range,(Alt7422m.) Manaslu ranges(Alt 8176 km) are of short enlists to this trek. The region is surrounded by 108 beautiful and still, lakes and Gosainkunda is one of them.

The region has Tibetan migrants with Sherpa inhabitants. Lhosar (January/February) and Dumji (June/July) are the main festivals celebrated by Sherpa. In the meantime in June and July, 1000 pilgrims visit Gosaikunda Lake. Dhami and jhakri, one of the oldest customs of the region, plunge Trishul (tri-sectional pointed metal made, an instrument), believed to be wielded by Lord Shiva) to pour water. The true cultural feel is at Langtang village. A wash with fluttering prayer flags, brightly painted chortens, many walls, and stones carved with the Tibetan mantra ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’. You will be sure to receive a gracious welcome from the yak herders.

After crossing the Gosaikunda Laurebina pass (4600m), we trek back via another route to this region. This course takes us back to Kathmandu via Kutumsang, Chisapani and finally Kathmandu
