This trek provides a perfect combination of the tranquility of nature, enriched culture, and a religious tour, which proves absolutely advantageous for high intermediate to expert-level trekkers.

This trek starts with a scenic road trip from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, from where the trekking begins.

One of the amazing experiences during the trek is reaching Kyanjin Gompa, which is a beautiful monastery nestled amidst the surrounding yak grazing grounds and great Himalayan view.

Gosaikunda Lake lies serene amidst snow-clad peaks, vibrant particularly during the Janai Purnima festival when pilgrims gather to honor Lord Shiva.
After witnessing the stunning beauty of the Gosaikunda Lake, we will trek towards Lauribina La Pass at 4,610 meters, a vantage point that offers surreal sunrises over the Himalayas. Continuing from here, it drops into the local Himalayan villages of Ghopte before meandering through forests and other great scenery down to Sundarijal, on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
