Peoples use to visit the holy region from the ancient periods, it connects the ancient Hindu and Indian Continental settlements. Peoples use to say that the Gosaikunda region once used to be dry land. When Lord Shiva passed through this highland and got thirsty, he did not find any source of water. Then Lord Shiva spread the peak with his Trisula, the Divine Trident of Lord Shiva, and the water came out. Due to the religious value, the Hindus visit the Gosaikunda often and pray for the blessings of the Lord. The Holy Lakes around the Gosaikunda Region are believed to be the purest and most divine. Fresh water is one of the highest-placed freshwater sources in the Himalayas. The Gosaikunda region has more than 17 lakes ranging from 4000m to 4700m in Elevation and Gosaikunda, Bhairav Kunda, Saraswathi Kunda, Kyumachho Kunda, Dudh Kunda, Surya Kunda Aama Kunda, Ganesh Kunda, etc. are some of the major tranquil and pristine lakes in this lake series.

Important Note

Food and accommodation in Gosaikunda Area: 

The Gosaikunda region is a geographically diverse area and quite remote. There are local guest houses and teahouses all over the routes. Deurali, Shin Gumba/ Chandan Bari, Lauri Binayak, and Gosaikunda lakeside have several hotels and restaurants in operation. We take our all meals in those hotels/ guesthouses and teahouses. They offer varieties of foods and cuisine. The most popular and commonly used are the Thakali Khana and Nepali Thali sets. Bread, fruits, juices, noodles, momo, pizza, Pasta, pastries, and many chicken mutton items are easily available. The rooms are quite good but not the luxury ones. They offer very good service and hospitality. Due to the remoteness and difficult terrain, rooms are quite small and made of wood. 

Best season for the Gosaikunda trek: 

Autumn or Summer is perfect to visit the Gosaikunda region. The pilgrims and prayers use to visit the places almost every month. Most of the Pilgrims prefer to visit the place during the month of Shrawan and the route will be highly crowded during this month. Despite the pilgrim’s recommendation, Autumn and Summer are always the best time to trek in the Himalayas. For safety, views, sceneries, routes, low crowds, and many other aspects, Autumn or Summer will be very best. During the Rainy season, the routes are used to be full of leeches and in falls, the higher region uses to be full of snow and high cold. The routes use to dry and maintained in autumn and summer unlike the slippery and damaged by rain.

Difficulties of Gosaikunda trek: 

Despite the short route, Gosaikunda is high energy and stamina requiring treks. From the very beginning of the trek, the routes are steep and upward ascends to the Gosaikunda Pond except for the few hours of walking from Chandan Bari. The high hard ascend may cause difficulties for those who have no experience walking and ascending. Another difficulty of the Gosaikunda trek is the Altitude that goes up to 4700m of elevation. Some trekkers not familiar with the high altitude must have to be careful while approaching high altitudes.

Challenges of the Gosaikunda trek:  
Being a Himalayan Trekking, itself creates challenges. Gosaikunda trek with Lauri Binayak La Pass comes to completion and succession after facing and succussing numerous challenges and difficulties. Here are some of the major challenges and difficulties of A pilgrimage trek in the high Himalayas: -
A) Hard upward route
B) High Altitude (up to 4700m)
C) The remoteness of the area
D) Extreme cold at night and even snowfalls and cold gusts 
E) Unpredicted rains or Windfall
F) Clean and Healthy water and foods
G) Accommodation
H) Altitude Sickness and other Acute Mountain Sickness problems
I) Extreme Tiredness, muscle turning, leg twists, etc.

Altitude sickness during the Gosaikunda trek: 
One of the main challenges and more to be a careful thing during the trek is Altitude Sickness or any Acute Mountain Sickness or issues. The hard and sharp upwards and steep gain the high altitude very fast. Thin oxygen levels and the abrupt change in altitude may cause the AMS. The Gosaikunda itself lies at an elevation of 4381m from sea level and the Surya Kunda is at an even higher elevation that is about 4610m of altitude. Many of the trekkers and even the pilgrims had suffered such altitude/Mountain sickness while there reach or were about to reach the Gosaikunda Lake. We recommend that travelers rest enough and bring together the recommended medicines to prevent any problems from ruining our journey.

Pilgrim Trip for non religious - But surprising view

I recently completed the Gosaikunda Pass Trek with Travers Nepal, and the experience was truly exceptional. From start to finish, Travers Nepal demonstrated unparalleled expertise and dedication. The trek offers stunning scenery, including lush forests, alpine meadows, and the sacred Gosaikunda Lake. The panoramic views from the pass, at over 4,600 meters, are absolutely breathtaking and well worth the physical challenge. Travers Nepal’s team of guides and support staff were outstanding. Their extensive knowledge of the region and attentive care ensured our safety and enhanced our overall experience. The accommodations in teahouses were comfortable, and all logistics were handled seamlessly. This trek is a fantastic blend of natural beauty, cultural depth, and spiritual significance. If you're looking for a memorable Himalayan adventure, I highly recommend choosing Travers Nepal for their excellent service and well-organized treks.
