Gosaikunda Trek

Gosaikunda is a significant place of interest on the Dhunche-Helambu trekking route. This trek adjoins the famous Langtang Valley trek in the same district. Both treks can be combined. Basic accommodation is quite easily available. Tea houses offer a variety of food and snacks.




Jan 17, 2014, we left Kathmandu in the morning time on a local bus from Macha Pokhari, Balaju that goes to Dhunche. We arrived at around 1:30 p.m. in Dunche. On the same day we started to walk and passed Deurali (2625m) and then reached Dimsa (3000m) to spend our first night. There is only one hotel each at Deurali and Dimsa.

The next day, we started to walk at 8:00 a.m. and passed Singh Gompa aka Chandanbari (3300m). The place is famous for the best Yak Cheese in Nepal. There are so many guest houses in that region.
We started to walk further and passed Cholang Pati (3700m) when it started snowing. We then reached Laurebina Guesthouse at (3950m). We had just 3-4 hours of walk that day when snow stopped us to trek further. We spent the day and night in that guest house. It snowed so heavily but the night came up with clear blue sky and the finest beautiful day after.

Next day we started trek to Gosaikunda (4380m) earlier in the morning. We reached the lake Gosaikunda which was frozen. Only one guest house was open during that time. We treked little further above the lake and reached at the topmost point Laurebina Pass (4600m) near Surya Kunda, another frozen lake. Then We again returned back from there as it was getting so windy and there was no track ahead to get beyond the pass to reach Phedi. We returned back to the same guest house where we spent out last night. we spent our that night in the same guest house.

The next day we got down to the Dunche from where we took a local bus to Trishuli bazzar and from there to kathmandu.  on Jan 20, 2014. Total 4 days.!.

Gosaikunda: The view was so beautiful. The place was immaculate, awesome, breathtaking, There was snow everywhere, the lake was just like a frozen skate ground as if we could do ice-skating, More you can see on my YouTube video...Cheers.!.
