Get ready to have an excellent memory.
This Langtang Gosainkunda Trek has been underrated for a century. This is a beautiful tea house trekking experience close to the capital to Gosainkunda, a holy lake for Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage. Over centuries, Nepalese people have set an arduous journey to this sacred lake, and now it’s open to the public. In August, during Janai Purnima, thousands of people are praying here. Besides the lake, you get to walk via the village of Langtang and Kyanjin Gompa for a deep insight into the Tibetan Buddhist culture.

After a day here, we get back to Syabru Bensi and then climb to Sing Gompa. Finally, we get to the beautiful settings of Gosainkunda Lake before getting back to Kathmandu.
