## About

The 5-Day Gosaikunda Trek is designed for travelers desiring a short but intense adventure from Kathmandu. While the trek is offered throughout the year, it's best enjoyed when the skies are predominantly clear and the views are spectacular.

Detailed itinerary:

Day 1: Drive from Kathmandu to Dhunche and trek to Deurali (2790 m)

The first day of your trip begins with a pick up from your hotel in Kathmandu. You will then be driven to a nearby bus stop for a scenic drive to Dhunche. The journey might take approximately 5-6 hours. Dhunche is a town and is marked as the starting point of your trek. During the drive, you get to see amazing views of lush green hills, terraced fields, and snow-capped mountains including Manaslu, Ganesh, Langtang among others. After a short break in Dhunche, the hike begins with a brisk walk towards Deurali (2-hour). A guest house in Deurali will then be your halt for the night.

Day 2: Trek to Laurebina (3910m)

Day two of your trek begins with your morning breakfast and a brief about your day from your guide. We then begin the hike towards Laurebina via Chandanbari. It is an ascend following a steep path. A guest house in Laurebina will later be your halt for the night.

Day 3: Round trip to Gosaikunda from Laurebina (Max Altitude: 4380 m)

Day three, as usual, begins with your morning breakfast and a brief about your day from your guide. The hike then moves towards Gosainkunda, an alpine freshwater oligotrophic lake in Langtang National Park located at an elevation of 4380. The lake melts to feed river Trishuli as it remains frozen during the winter. Here you will be exploring other lakes in the region as well including Bhairav Kunda, Chandra Kunda and Saraswati Kunda. The travelers here will also enjoy a majestic view of the Langtang range in the background. Later in the afternoon you will hike back to Laurebina for your night halt.

Day 4: Trek down to Dhunche

On day four, the trail gradually descends through beautiful rhododendrons, pine & bamboo forests that lead you to Deurali. The travelers from here hike past another dense forest and cross a river to descend to Dhunche for the night halt.

Day 5: Drive back to Kathmandu (1350 m)

Day five begins with a morning breakfast before your scenic drive to Kathmandu. After your arrival at the bus station in Kathmandu, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
