The Gosainkunda - Helambu trek is easily reachable from Kathmandu by land transport. Some days of pleasant walk through dense forest and traditional ethnic villages you will reach the holy Gasainkunda Lake. Over the years the Gosainkunda has become one of the sacred pilgrimage sites for Shamans, Hindu and Buddhist devotees. During the full moon day in August thousands of Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims visit the sacred lake of Gosainkunda to pay religious homage every year. A cross over the Laurebina Pass at an altitude of 4620 m. above sea level with an excellent view of surrounding is simply breathtaking.
This region is relatively isolated and predominantly inhabited by the Tamangs and Helambu Sherpas who originated in Tibet just to the north. A trek in this region offers the opportunity to view traditional village life amid a picturesque alpine wilderness and affords brilliant views of the mighty peaks of Langtang (7234m) and Ganesh (7446m) as well as a sprawl of endless 6000m+ summits. For those who are interested in flora and fauna, it is ideal to visit during March and April.
This is a unique journey with numerous highlights such as stunning views of high mountains with culture of Tamang and Helmule people who are physically and culturally resemble to the Tibetan and their unique lifestyle is still thriving under their traditional attitude.
