Gosaikunda

Do not you surprise how our ancestors could live for a century, usually? And still, we can find people in villages living healthy and even robust when they have no space untouched by wrinkles. Most often their sprightly life has envied suburbs and urban. They immensely practice and enjoy the ups and downs of hillocks to mountains. They inhale pure wind that carries the chillness and the scent that wildflowers give them. They feed them what nature produces at the fullest. They live celebrating their culture and social occasions. They love one and know to love others. Trekking to such a place is a sheer joy. And when it is a place of cultural, historical, and religious importance, it becomes undeniable to trek. Nepal is truly rich for such heritages. One of them is Gosaikunda.

The amazing beauty of Gosaikunda trail is impossible to be described on words. You need to have your own journey. Your journey starts from Kathmandu. Volunteers and professionals offer you both: a trekking route and even vehicle to some distance. But trekking offers you much to enjoy and learn. Trekking can glimpse you the secret of long and healthy life.

Gosaikunda trial is the journey from Kathmandu to Gosaikunda Lake. It passes through many junctions and stop-points. The trek covers the varied landscapes and green forest ranging from subtropical to alpine environment, terraced fields, waterfalls, streams, hills and super scenic mountains view. It almost takes 9 days to accomplish the thrilling journey. It begins after a drive to Dhunche (1,960m), the historic Sing Gompa (3,330m) and the magical Gosainkunda (4,380m). In the back steps, we pass Ghopte (3,530m), Kutumsang (2,470m) and Chisapani (2,215m).

Gosainkunda is equally a divine place of all Hindu peoples. It consists of many holy lakes at an altitude of 4,380m. People believe that the holy water of the lake washes off their sins. Thousands of people trek to this glacial lake every year to meet their cultural as well as natural need.

We can search for services even in internet. Professionals and volunteers occasionally organize group treks. To catch the same train you must remain updated.
