Gosaikunda:
Lake is the site for a great pilgrimage. The
large rock in the center of the lake is said to
be the remains of Shiva shrine and it is also
claimed that a channel carries water from the
lake directly to the tank at the Kumbeshwer
Temple in Patan. Gosainkund is the most famous
of a string of lakes and renowned among Nepali
Hindus. This can be trekked on its own in as
little as four days, but because of its rapid
ascent to high elevation. It is best done after
some acclimatizing in Langtang or Helambu. From
either Dhunche or Syabru, trails ascend steeply
through mossy rhodendron forest to the monastery
and cheese factory of Sing Gompa. Above here,
the trail climbs through tall fir stands before
emerging above the tree line for increasingly
panoramic views of the high peaks and finally
entering the barren upper reaches of the
Trishuli river, where glacial moraines and
rockslides have left a string of half a dozen
lakes (kund). You can also climb a nearby summit
for awesome views.
