Spiritual and Cultural Experience in Gosainkunda Lake

After returning from Kyanjin, Langtang to Gosainkunda Lake begins through the Thulo Syabru Beshi. Gosainkunda Lake is a spiritual place for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Besides this Gosainkunda Lake, there are several smaller lakes around the area. Based on Hindu Mythology, Gosainkunda Lake was formed by the Hit of Lord Shiva’s Trident. According to the myth, Lord Shiva drank the poison to save the world mined by the evils and demons. In doing so, because of the poison, he was in pain and threw the Trident and hit the rock, from where water started to pour out.

There is a belief that bathing in this lake or drinking its water will wash away your sins. However, Buddhist and Hindu Pilgrims worship this lake differently. Hindu devotees dip on this Lake during the Janai Purnima to eliminate all sins. Whereas, Buddhist people perform dances in August for their relative’s departed soul to rest in peace in heaven. Although the Lake carries religious significance, the natural beauty and landscapes around the Lake are equally rewarding.

Langtang and Gosainkunda Trekking Route

The first section of this trek is similar to Langtang Valley Trekking Route. Starting from the Syabrubeshi, the trailhead moves to Lama Hotel, Langtang Village, and Kyanjin Gompa. After exploring Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri, retrace the same trail back to Lama Hotel. Then the route splits and continues to Thulo Syabru Village. It takes another two days to reach Gosainkunda passing Laurebina Village. Discovering the Holy Lake of Gosainkunda, the trek moves further ahead to Ghopte, Khutumsang, Chisapani, Sundarijal, and back to Kathmandu.

The best time to do the Gosainkunda Trekking

The weather factor is always important for your successful trekking journey. Hence, Hiking in the Spring and Autumn seasons is the best way to experience trekking in Langtang. Trekking on these seasons delivers mind-blowing vires with favorable temperatures. Especially in August with two major festivals in Nepal, the journey is even more interesting.

Permit Card required for Langtang and Helambu Region

In the Langtang Region, the Hiking Trail is not that difficult in comparison to other trekking regions like Manaslu Trekking.
