You can explore the serene trails that wind through enchanting forests and quaint villages, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture. This alternative route offers a serene trekking experience and provides stunning views of the majestic Himalayas, making it a memorable adventure for any traveler.
The trip to Gosaikunda Lake starts in Kathmandu and ends in Kathmandu. Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, a representative from Nepal Excursion Treks will greet you at the airport and transport you to your hotel. A pre-trip briefing will be given after you have rested after the long flight to Kathmandu, and we will have a welcome dinner in the evening, where you can see and experience the typical Nepalese dishes with a traditional folk presentation. The day after your arrival, you will begin your trek from Kathmandu. The trek starts from Sundari Jal, which is about an hour's drive from Kathmandu.
During the Gosaikunda Lake trek, you will have the opportunity to explore a bit of Nepal's wildlife as well, as the trekking route passes through the Shivapuri National Park and Langtang National Park. In comparison to other popular trekking routes, the route to Gosaikunda Lake is notably calm. The trek is moderately difficult and reaches a high pass at 4620 m, so participants should generally be in excellent physical condition to undertake it. Gosaikunda is a holy alpine lake among the Hindu and Buddhist people. During this trip, you will be passing countryside villages, agricultural fields, and lush forests. This trip offers a panoramic view of the Langtang Himalaya and the countryside landscape. The trek is suitable for those who are coming to visit Nepal for a short time and want to explore the city of Kathmandu and take a hike close to it. The package trip of the Gosaikunda Lake trek can be customized depending on your holiday length and adding the attractions of Kathmandu or skipping the city sightseeing in Kathmandu if you have a shorter holiday time.
Accommodations and meals in the Gosaikunda Lake Trek
There are plenty of teahouses for accommodation—simple teahouses, but good enough. Each of the teahouses prepares and serves the local dishes, so trekkers do not have to worry about having shelter and meals during the Gosaikunda Lake trek.
Internet and mobile networks in the Gosaikunda Lake Trek
Nepal Telecom (NTC) SIM cards have limited signal at the lower altitudes, and once you are at a higher altitude, you are away from the mobile network coverage. Currently, most teahouses offer paid wifi service; however, we cannot guarantee that the internet will be functional. Therefore, you should prepare to be without a mobile phone network and internet access for several days during your trip to Gosaikunda Lake.
