Our first-day journey begins with our delicious morning breakfast. Dhunche is the starting point of our actual trek to Gosaikunda. We will head north out of Kathmandu driving through scenic foothills and ridgeline vistas to Dhunche, the beautiful settlement of the Tamang community. The first part of our drive up to Trishuli Bazaar is quite effortless. We will pass through beautiful villages, rivers with amazing views of the Himalayan peaks like Langtang and Ganesh Himal. The path now moves along a gravel road. After our entrance to Dhunche, we will roam around the village and spend our time with locals. Overnight at lodge.

We will start our trek after our breakfast in Dhunche. We will ascent towards Shin Gompa along with the breathtaking views of Langtang Himal, Ganesh Himal, Annapurna, and Tibetan mountain. The way continues steeply through the forests of oak and hemlock and then steeply via rhododendron forest and pastures. After hiking roughly for 2 hours, we will reach Deurali (2500m), a small village on the way to Shin Gompa with few tea houses.

Passing through the beautiful trail with rivers and waterfalls, we will reach Dhimsa (2900m) after 3 hours of hiking. From Dhimsa, the climb is a little difficult as the trail goes uphill through beautiful pine forests. We have to trek steep uphill sections to reach Shin Gompa (3200m), a settlement located at the lap of a pine forest. People also call this place ‘Chandanwari’.

Shin Gompa has a lot to offer to its visitors. A Yak cheese factory and old Buddhist monasteries are the major attractions of Chandanwari. We will try the tasty Yak cheese and visit Sing Gompa. We can see Langtang Mountain broadens including Ganesh Himal from here.

In the evening, after a yummy meal with lots of cheese, we will spend our night in Shin Gompa

Today is the most exciting day in our adventure Gosaikunda Helambu trek. Following our delicious breakfast in Shin Gompa, we will hike uphill to Gosaikunda (4380m). Today, the hiking will be comparably more difficult than yesterday

The starting journey goes to a steep climb up a ridge that marks a transition zone between rich, moist mountain forests and dry scrub vegetation on the slopes. The slope is the habitat for the red pandas and provides a magnificent view of snowcapped Ganesh Himal.

After walking for half an hour, we will see the first lake, Saraswati Kunda, then Bhairav Kunda and the Mighty Lake ‘Gosaikunda’. It is a glacial pond where every year thousands of pilgrims, both Hindus and Buddhists visit for a holy dip in icy water as it is believed that it washes the sin of a hundred lifetimes. The holy temples like Shiva Mandir, Gosaikunda Mahadev, and Trishul Dhara can be explored in around this destination. We will also visit other nearby lakes and spend the night in a tea house.

We will start our trek after having breakfast at Gosaikunda. Today, we will hike through the gradual paths and small lakes towards the adventurous pass, Lauribina Pass (4610m). After the pass, we will enter the Helambu region. Helambu Region offers us ample opportunities to explore unique and traditional villages, Tamang culture, tradition, and their lifestyle along with snow-capped mountain ranges, a view of glaciers from low elevations, diverse flora and fauna, and so on.

The trail descends alongside a stream and rocky trail towards the valley of Phedi. Moving further, the trekking route follows the valley on rough trial towards Dupi Chaur.

We will follow the shorter route of Helambu valley trekking. The trail descends through the beautiful landscapes, rhododendron forests, and ridges towards the village of Mangengoth. We will stop here for our lunch and after that, we will continue our trail passing through beautiful Tamang settlements until we reach the beautiful Kutumsang village. This village is one of the popular villages in the Helambu region with the settlement of Tamang communities and their own primitive living standard. Overnight at tea-house in Kutumsang.
