Overview

Gosaikunda Yoga Trek

Gosaikunda yoga trek is a unique blend of adventures and spiritual journey in Nepal that offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas, snow- capped peaks, beautiful landscapes, dense forests and traditional villages. It combines trekking in the Himalayas with yoga and meditation practices which provide an opportunity to connect with nature, nurturing mind and body, and deepen the spiritual experience.

Gosaikunda is a scared lake situated at an altitude of 4380 m in the Langtang region of the Himalayas, which holds great religious significance for both Hindus and Buddhists. You will be rewarded with mesmerizing sight of the lake, surrounded by snow- capped mountains. It is also believed that taking a dip in the holy waters of Gosaikunda, cleanse sins and bring blessings. That’s why it is considered an ideal place for spiritual practices and can find inner peace.

The Gosaikunda yoga trek is suitable for trekkers with a moderate level of fitness. The trek takes you through lush forests, picturesque villages, incredible mountain scenery, and allowing you to experience the local culture and lifestyle of the ethnic communities residing in the region.    

Best season to visit

The best season for the Gosaikunda yoga trek in Nepal is during the spring and autum offering most favorable weather conditions, clear skies, and stable trekking trails. It’s a great time to witness the vibrant colors of nature and enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains.
