Gosainkund Trek

Gosainkund

By itself the Gosainkund route is a four day excursion from Kathmandu which can be combined with the Langtang or Helambu routes. A combination of mountain walks has proven favorable in facilitating acclimatisation. Until recently there was no accommodation on this route but now there are some basic guest houses and huts available for pilgrims. It is advisable to carry some provisions.

From Dhunche or Syabru it is a high climb to Sing Gompa which is combined with a cheese factory and a lodge. A recognisable path leads through rhododendron woods to Laurebina (3901 m (12,798 ft)), a summer settlement, which consists of some shepherds' accommodation and a lodge. There is a good view of the mountains from here. After
