Langtang Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek
Langtang Gosaikunda Laurebina Pass Trek is the best trail for exploring the wonders of the Langtang and Helambu regions. It's an incredibly adventurous trek to the ancient Kyanjing Gompa and the holy Gosainkunda Lake. The trail goes through beautiful valleys and dense woodland. You'll be trekking in Langtang National Park, so expect encounters with animals and birds.
The rich cultures and traditions of Tamang add more essence to the Langtang Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass trekking. The Tamang people are one of the early settlers of the Langtang region. They are Tibetans who migrated from Tibet. Their norms, values, and practices are similar to those of Tibetans.
Kyanjin Gompa and Sing Gompa are the two ancient and most important religious sites for the locals in the Langtang region. They are located at 3,860 m and 3,330 m, respectively. While trekking, you'll come across many chortens, prayer wheels, stupas, prayer flags, and mani walls.
The trek leads you to the pristine and holy Gosaikunda Lake, situated at 3,860 m. It is a sacred lake and a pilgrimage site for Hindus. Thousands of pilgrims visit on the full moon day of August, a very special day called Janai Purnima. The lake is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva and his wife, Parvati, per Hindu mythology.
After crossing over Laurebina Pass (4,681 m), you'll enter the Helambu region. Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass is one of the easy passes in Nepal. The trail to go over the pass from Gosaikunda Lake is easy and gradual. But the descent from Lauribina Pass will be the tough one if you have a knee problem.
