Introduction

Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek is a relatively shorter trek with an adventurous journey in the Langtang region of Nepal. Comprised of pristine holy and spiritual lakes, challenging uphill and downhill climbs, an introduction to the lifestyle and culture of nomadic and indigenous people, eye-dazzling panoramas of the Himalayas in the setting, gushing waterfalls, lavish bushes, and a lot more.

The trail is mostly jam-packed with pilgrims visiting the divine Gosaikunda Lake, either fellows of Hinduism or Buddhism. Whereas, with the discovery of high altitude passes and ridges like Lauribina Pass (4,610m), the trail has also become a top-notch choice for adventurer seekers.

Overview

The Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass trek begins with a scenic drive up to the traditional and culturally enriched Dhunche village. Various folkloric groups like Tamang, Sherpa, and Gurung who are mostly inspired by the Tibetan lifestyle and culture reside there. Walking ahead through bushes and alongside the river, enjoying the picturesque sceneries of the cascading hills, snow-clad peaks, and the blooming of Rhododendron forest as well as several other species of vegetation, we will crawl our way to Chandanbari/Shin Gompa before heading towards Gosaikunda. Then we follow the route towards the pilgrimage site of Gosaikunda, our main destination.

There are several other trivial lakes viz. Saraswatikunda, Bhairav Kunda, and others nearby Gosaikunda. There is a myth that Lord Shiva himself built Gosaikunda with his trident to get relief from the poison that he put into his throat to save the world from its severe consequences. Then we pass through Lauribina Pass, Ghopte, Tharepati Pass, Kutumsang, and Chisapani for the next couple of days before driving back towards Kathmandu via Sundarijal.

Langtang National Park

In the meantime, we will be blessed to take a closer look at the dwindling herbs, vegetation, wildlife, and birds in the Langtang National Park. The national park was a delimited area prior to the 19th due to security threats from the neighboring nations. To enhance the preservation of endangered species, it is a protected area that is allowed to visit only with a special permit from the Government of Nepal.

Other attractions of Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek

Besides, the remote and rural lowland settlements and the authentic lifestyle of the locals are the major attractions of the Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek. Ancient and historical monasteries, prayer flags, and other Buddhist cultures representing arts and monuments will rejoice you during the tiring uphill and downhill climbs. In a short duration of time, you can explore all these and reach the highlands.

Physical Fitness Criteria and Best Time

Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek is appropriate for those about to tackle all the challenges and loves exploring with adventures; in relatively less time. Nevertheless, the trekkers should possess previous experience of trekking along with proper physical fitness and regular exercising routines in order to go on this arduous trek. As well as, a highly experienced professional trekking guide is also mandatory for this trek. Nepal Mountain Trekkers involve a team of guides belonging to that region and are highly experienced as well as licensed by the Government of Nepal.

There are no boundaries of time for embarking on the Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek but for the proper trekking experience and achievement of satisfaction, we recommend trekking in the months of autumn or spring. It is because of the favorable weather, vivid sceneries, and blossoming of flora and fauna, especially Rhododendron. As well as, during winter and rainy seasons, the trail gets more complicated as well as cold and slippery.
