Highlights of the Trek |
|
This is a relatively short but extremely
interesting trek and a good one for a
family with children.. The very sacred
Gosainkund Lake is situated in the
Langtang National Park region of the
Annapurnas. There are some 100 lakes in
the area and they are the destination of
thousands of Hindu Pilgrims during the
month of August. The lake is also sacred
to the Buddhist people. The trek
commences with a steep ascent but levels
out for a relaxing trek through old
growth forest. If the day is clear, you
will have some spectacular views of the
valley below and of the magnificent
waterfalls cascading down the mountain
ranges across the valley. There is ample
opportunity to see the vast array of
flaura and if you are quiet and
observant, you may get to see some of
the varied wildlife inhabiting the
forest. The trail take you through some
of the best native forest in Nepal.
Through the canopy, you will get
glimpses of Langtang Lirung Peak
(7246m).
