Trip Info

Langtang valley is a narrow valley that situated just south of the Tibetan border. It is sandwiched between the main Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. This trek offers an opportunity to explore villages, to climb small peaks and to visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. You can trek to Langtang by returning to Kathmandu via the holy lakes of Gosainkund at 4300 meters, thousands of Hindu pilgrims visit the lakes during the full moon festival in August. The lake is also sacred to Buddhists. Gosaikunda is actually the largest of three main lakes the other two being Saraswati kunda and Bhairabkunda. Hindu legend has it that the lakes were formed when the God Siva plunged his trident (Trisul) into the ground in order to obtain water. The Trisuli River has its source in the lakes thus the name. Helambu valley is very famous for its natural beauty and wonderful climate with superb views of magnificent snow-covered mountains. The area covers typical highland Sherpa villages along with beautiful Rhododendron forests. This region extends from the north to Taramarang to the Gosaikunda Lake and the lower Jugal Himal from the north. The valley is approached from Trishuli River Valley, north of Kathmandu.

Gosainkunda, also spelled Gosainkunda, is a sacred alpine lake located in Nepal’s Langtang National Park at an elevation of 4,380 m (14,370 ft) in Rasuwa District. The lake covers an area of 13.8 hectares (34 acres). Including its surrounding lakes, the Gosaikunda lake complex spans 1,030 hectares (2,500 acres) and was designated a Ramsar site on 29 September 2007. The lake feeds the Trishuli River and remains frozen for about six months, from October to June. There are a total of 108 lakes in the area. The famous Lauribina La Pass, standing at 4,610m, lies close to Gosaikunda. According to local belief, the spring that fills the pond at the Kumbheshwar Temple complex in Patan is directly linked to Gosaikunda. Because of this, devotees who are unable to travel to the high-altitude lake visit Kumbheshwar Pokhari instead. In Hindu mythology, the origin of Gosaikunda is tied to the “Samudra Manthana,” or the churning of the ocean. It is believed that when Lord Shiva swallowed the deadly poison that emerged during the churning, he struck the ground with his trident to draw water and cool his burning throat. This act is said to have created Gosaikunda, making it a highly revered pilgrimage site.
