Gosainkunda is an eye-catching alpine lake surrounded by stunning, naked mountain scenery. It is situated at an altitude of 4,380 meters (14,370 feet) above sea level and is located in Langtang National Park in Nepal. This destination is both popular among trekkers and holds religious significance for Hindus. Many trekkers and pilgrims visit Gosainkunda to experience its natural beauty and cultural importance.
The trek to Gosainkunda typically takes around 5-7 days, depending on the chosen route. This trek leads through beautiful landscapes, including lush forests, terraced fields, and rugged terrain, making it a favored choice for trekkers.
The region experiences cold temperatures, even during the trekking season, so it's essential to be well-prepared with warm clothing. The trek offers breathtaking views of the Langtang Himalayan range, which includes peaks like Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, and Ganesh Himal.
Along the trekking route, there are basic teahouses and lodges where trekkers can find accommodation and meals.
In our case, we embarked on the journey from Dhunche, the headquarters of Rasuwa, and managed to complete the hike in just 3 days, which is typically a 3-5 day trek. On the first day, we drove from Kathmandu to Dhunche, where our hike began. After approximately 3 hours of hiking, we reached Deurali at 2,500 meters. Another 1.5 hours led us to Dhimsa at 2,900 meters, and in another 1.5 hours, we arrived at Chandanbari at 3,250 meters, where we spent our first night.
On the second day, we commenced our hike at 5 am and reached Cholanpati at 3,550 meters in about 1 hour, then Lauribina at 3,900 meters in 2 hours. After having breakfast at Lauribina, we continued to Boudha Mandir at 4,150 meters in 1 hour, and finally, in another 1 hour, we reached Gosainkunda. Upon reaching our destination, all our fatigue was forgotten. We spent 2-3 hours there, enjoying the scenery and even taking a swim in the lake. We returned to Chandanbari on the same day.
On the third day, we made our way back...

Gosaikund ❤️❤️❤️ Gosainkunda Mahadev 🙏 (Lake) ❤️ It is mentioned in various texts that Lord Shiva, the symbol of faith of Hindus and Buddhists in Rasuwa district, carved a trishul into the rock to soothe the pain of consuming poison from the churning sea of demons and gods. 🙏 It is mentioned in the religious texts that taking a bath in Gosaikund at an altitude of 4380 meters above sea level and seeing Lord Shiva will free you from all sins. They go all year round Dhunche can be reached by bus or any other means of travel from Kathmandu to Tokha, Khare for about 110 km 3 to 4 hour, while from Dhunche one can reach Gosainkund by walking for about 16 to 20 km for 2 days. Since there are many good hotels till Dhunche, there is no problem to stay and eat. There are 2 hotels in Deurali, in which Hotel View Point Deurali is clean and good to stay and eat. Chandan baari ( shinggompa) Gosaikund is the best in all 🤗 This place is the best place to stay for the first day after walking from Dhunche, so you should stay at this place 🙏 The best place to eat and stay in my experience is Hotel Red Panda. Stay & food here is 500 for 1 person. The rate may vary during the season.. Do not stay in Gosaikund until you can. There is a syndicate system in this place. Rude behavior. Expensive fees. Inconvenient atmosphere. If you have to stay in this place. Stay & food charge 1600 for one person's per mobile phone charging 200 to use wifi, 200 for a cup of water, 50 rupees. 😥😥 After visiting Gosainkunda, I request you to come back and stay somewhere else. Even if you have to stay, please do not stay in Namaste hotel. Gosainkunda trip will be a bad experience. The rest is up to you. Note: I request you not to leave any kind of garbage while traveling If you have any suggestions please let me know May your trip be memorable with my suggestions Om...
