Route Map
Alluring part of Langtang Gosainkunda Trek
There is a Tamang community in the midway and the trek route has beautiful rhododendron flowers and fabulous landscapes. We can reach Gosaikunda Lake after several days of audacious as well as pleasing trekking through the traditional ethnic settlements and forest on the way. Since Gosaikunda is the popular Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage destination, thousands of pilgrims visit the site every year on the day of Janai Purnima. Also, people came here to worship and take a bath during the full moon festivals each August.
Lake with greater faith
There is a myth of the formation of Gosaikunda Lake. A black resembles a sleeping Shiva in the eastern part of the lake and reflects the peoples’ faith. A popular myth says, Shiva created this high altitude lake when he pierced a glacier with his trident to obtain water to fulfill his thirst. Because he has consumed the poison gathered from the churning of the ocean. The result of consuming poison turns Shiva’s throat blue. Similarly, there is a white rock under the water which is said to be the vestige of an ancient Shiva shrine. Furthermore, people also believe that the water from this lake goes underground through a subterranean channel but it surfaces in the Kumbeshwar pool in Patan.
Getting the trailhead
Gosaikunda Lake trek. begins at Syabrubensi. The town of Syabrubensi, located at the bank of Langtang drives, is the trailhead of Langtang Gosainkunda Lake Trek. Transfer service of local bus departs regularly in the morning from Kathmandu at Balaju Bus Park. Besides that hiring, a 4WD jeep or Scorpio Car is the best option for the trip. It will save your private time and let you enjoy the trip in your way. It will be a 6-7 hours scenic journey along the thrilling Pasang Lhamu Highway. The highway connects the capital city of Kathmandu with Tibet at Timure.
Best time to visit Gosainkunda
The best time to trek the area is September- mid-December, and March – the first week of June. Autumn is the best season due to the clear sky and stop of monsoon season. The region is rich with greenery and distance views during the season. Whereas Spring is time for new leaves, blooming rhododendron forests, and snowy peaks. So the two seasons are the ideal time to trek the Gosainkunda region.

Still, with the tantalizing sun shining above you, the chilled air makes you feel cold. You should carry warm clothes, hiking boots, sunglasses, walking sticks, gloves, raincoats, medicines, reusable water bottles, and light snacks.
