Himalaya Family Adventure
Description
Gosainkunda is an alpine freshwater oligotrophic lake in Nepals Langtang National Park. The lake melts and sips down to form the Trishuli River and remains frozen for six months in winter October to June. There are 108 lakes in this area, small to medium in size. The beautiful Lauribina La pass at an altitude of 4,610 m. is on its outskirts. The Gosaikunda area has been delineated as a religious site for Hinhus. On the occasion of Janai Purnima festivals when thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India visit this area. This is a significant place of interest on the Dhunche-Helambu trekking route. Basic accommodation is quite easily available. Tea houses offer a variety of food and snacks.
The trek to Gosaikunda starts in Dhunche Village or Syabru Besi in the Langtang Himal, or in Sundarijal in the Kathmandu Valley. When starting from Dhunche, the first day involves a long steady climb to reach Chandan Bari at an altitude of about 3,200 m. Laurebinayak at about 3,900 m. can be reached on the second day. At this point, some trekkers choose to climb ahead to Gosaikunda, though altitude sickness is a concern as the ascent is rather steep. Many trekkers choose to stay at Laurebinayak, which also provides sunset and sunrise views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal. The descent from Gosaikund to Sundarijal takes about four days with the views of Langtang ranges, Rhododendron/pine forest/local villages/red pandas/deer and so on.
