Transcendent the Holy Gosainkunda Lake Trek with Red Reach Himalaya
An Unforgettable 10-Day Adventure in Nepal
Gosainkunda Lake Trek is a mesmerizing journey through the heart of Nepal’s Langtang National Park. This 10-day itinerary, with 7 days of trekking and 3 nights in Kathmandu, promises not only a physical challenge but a spiritual experience. Nestled at an altitude of 4,380 meters in the Rasuwa District, Gosainkunda is a pristine alpine freshwater lake considered one of Nepal’s most sacred pilgrimage sites.
The Sacred Gosainkunda Lake trek
Surrounded by majestic mountains, Gosainkunda is part of a cluster of nine lakes that hold immense religious significance. Each year, during Janai Purnima in August, hundreds of Hindu pilgrims visit the lake to take a holy bath. According to local legend, the large rock in the center of the lake is believed to be a remnant of a Shiva shrine. It’s also said that a channel from Gosainkunda supplies water to the tank at the Kumbheshwar Temple in Patan, Kathmandu Valley.
Scenic Trails and Cultural Riches
The trek to Gosainkunda is not just a journey through stunning landscapes but also a cultural exploration. Trekkers will pass a monastery and a cheese factory, offering glimpses into local life. As the trail ascends through tall fir stands and above the tree line, the panoramic views of the towering peaks become increasingly spectacular. The trek continues into the upper reaches of the Trishuli River, where glacial moraines and rockslides have created a series of half a dozen serene lakes.
