Namaste!

On the behalf of Nepal Wonders Treks & Expedition P. Ltd & Team. We would like to express our gratitude towards Mike for organizing Gosaikunda Trek with us.Our trip was organized in a rush hour although we made a successful of completion of our Trek in a stipulated time. I was little bit nervous as this trek maximum elevation was (4,100 m). But as a noticed a smiling face of Mike I was motivated by his smile and his thoughts. Together we can achieve. After implementing sudden procedure we marched towards our trek.



It was 14/01/2017 when we planned our trip to Gosaikunda Lake. As usual i was busy for the arrangement of Transportation, permits for Mike before our departure to Syaprubesi. Finally we could hear the blowing horn of our Vehicle at Hotel premises. We gather together and put our stuffs on our jeep. It was almost 07:00 clock when we started our trip. Till Kakani we were on queue. At that moment traffic condition on the road was horrible. It was a Saturday were people move around to celebrate weekend with their family or friends. Though the day was nice and sun shining. On the way we could see some glimpse of Langtang range. It took us more than 9 hours to covered a distance of 118 kilometer from Kathmandu to reach Dhunche. On the way we could noticed living style of people who are inhabitants to Langtang region. We reached to our destination at 09:00pm which was very late. After our dinner we decided to move towards our room because we were too tired. On 15/02/2017 our team members gathered together for briefing before moving towards next destination.

About Gosaikunda Lake
It is located on the north part of Kathmandu which is very near to China. According to mythology it is believed that entire formation of Lake was created by Lord Shiva. For Hindus devotees this place has great significance on its creation of lake. As per the lunar calendar on the auspicious occasion of  Janai Purnima thousands of devotees gather here to attend mela or to praise Lord Shiva. Devotees take a ritual dip in icy water without bothering cold. So that they could fulfill their wish.
Gosaikunda Lake situated at the high Hills where entire area of this region are dominated by high mountains with dense and lush forests. In my context this place is heaven on earth because the view offer by it are simply stupendous beautiful.

Since before we reached to Thulo Syabru (2260m) it was awesome moments to see the miraculous view of Langtang Himal and Ganesh Himal. Each year thousands of trekkers do trekking on these region. Ever since we made our target to reach Gosaikunda. I' ve forgot to write my diary. Because the view which was offered by trail often lead to subtopical forests. Like the entire area has its own identity. We could noticed oaks, chir pine, blue pine, maple, fir, and different species of rhododendron. Thanks to Mike for explaining this things. I don't have any idea about it. On the way i  asked question to my guide. What kinds of animals are inhabitants to these region? My guide was quiet nervous. When i asked question in front of Mike. We were smiling at him. Since he was thinking about his answer. Rarely he could speak wild animals like wild dog, pika, munt jack, musk deer, Himalayan black bear and ghoral can be seen. I was surprised when my guide answer this question. As usual our next destination was to stop at Sing Gompa. Until we reached here it was almost 05:00 pm. We were too slow. After finishing our dinner we began to make a conversation with Hotel owner and our guide. They were amazing Sing gompa is famous for cheese factory we tasted the cheese prepared by our Hotel owner. After finishing our conversation we moved towards our own room. Next day we got to reach Gosaikunda which is located at the elevation of (4360m). Though obstacles were in tremendous with its higher elevations. But the view offered by it was mesmerizing. Lord Shiva he was a lord of Himalayas. When i witness the entire lake really it was great because it has tremendous spiritual values. According to Hindus mythology Lord Shiva flung his trishul over the Himalaya to run water down to cool down his burning throat while swallowing down poison. After formation of Lake Lord Shiva submerged into water to cool down his throat. Therefore Gosaikunda was born.

On the center of the lake we could witness a big stone which is known to be remains of a Shiva shrine. Devotees say that they could see Lord Shiva at the bottom of lake. As per the lunar calendar on the auspicious occasion of Janai purnima along with devotees Jhankri perform some ritual puja to prasie lord on that day. We can witness other neighboring lake near Gosaikunda. It is believed that Lord Shiva created it. Saraswati Kund, Bhairav Kund, Surya Kund, and Ganesh Kund. With the creation of these unique lake Lord Shiva is great.

Exploring around lake was worth while moments. But beware to high altitude sickness when you gradually reach in a high altitude your body gets lower oxygen. Before planning to these trek. Please consult with your doctors. Accommodations on these place are well developed which are operated by people who are inhabitants of these regions. So don't worry about it. Whether you are Trekker or Devotees you will be respecting this place when you visit here. Gosaikunda trek was a worth while trekking experience for a life time.
