Gosaikunda Lake

An exciting Lake experience

On the Northside from Kathmandu, Nepal there lies; Gosaikunda Lake also spelled as Gosainkunda Lake. You can see the heavenly like sight of this lake under one of the most famous trekking route; Dhunche-Gosaikunda-Helambu.

Gosaikunda Trek is famous for its breathtaking beauty, which remains frozen for six months in winter from October to June. It is a prevalent trekking target for both domestic and foreign tourists.

We believe Gosaikunda Lake to have created by lord Shiva when he thrust his trident into a mountain to draw water so he could cool his burning throat after swallowing poison. Short trek of 5 days to Gosaikunda Lake is very exciting and wonderful, which leaves you with beautiful memories and experience. You can also do Gosaikunda Lake trip by bike, which is more thrilling and amazing. This lake on altitude of 4380m is religious and full of heart-warming sights.

A large rock at the center of the lake is said to be the remains of the Shiva shrine. It is also said that water from this lake disappears underground via a subterranean channel and surface in Kumbeshwor pool and join to the five stored temple of Shiva in Patan.
