Gosainkunda Lake Trekking

Gosainkunda Lake Trekking is the site of an August full -moon festival, known as Janai Purnima, attendant by some 10000 religious pilgrims and jhankris (shamans). Legend tells of Lord Shiva thrusting his trident into the earth from when these jewel-like lakes arose. This route connects the Langtang Valley and Helembu treks via Lauribina La (pass). The Laurebina pass is generally snow and ice during January and February. The Gosainkunda Lake is a high light of this trip.
