Gosainkunda Trek
Gosainkunda is one of the most famous pilgrimage destinations among both domestic and international visitors in Nepal. “Gosain” stands for holy and “kunda” means pond, translating to “Holy Pond”. This region is home to many glacier fed holy ponds. Every summer, on a special day in the Hindu and Buddhist calendar known as Janaipurnima, hundreds of pilgrims visit Gosainkunda to bathe and purify themselves.
The Gosainkunda trek lies inside the Langtang National Park. From this region, visitors can observe the splendid views of Mt. Langtang (7,234m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Mt. Ganesh Himal (7,118m), and many other mountain ranges. This route offers the option to start and end the trip in Dhunche village or continue the trek to cross the Gosainkunda Pass (4,460m) and descend into the beautiful, green Helambu region near the Kathmandu Valley.
