Autumn and Spring season are the best time to visit Gosaikunda. Due to the instability of weather, it’s better to go there at the end of February to the beginning of June, and the beginning of September to the end of December. You can also travel for the month of July and August, however, the scenery will be blur due to the rainfall.

The weather in Gosaikunda is quite unpredictable and can change in a minute. The weather is always wet so before traveling to Gosaikunda, arrange all necessary stuff you will need during the trek. Keep warm clothes, hiking boots, walking steak, gloves, water bottle, sunglasses, raincoat, medicine and also some food too.

Many foreigners choose Gosaikunda Trek as one of their trekking destinations while traveling to Nepal. The main attraction of this trek is an exotic 108 glacier lakes, small to medium in size that is scattered around the Gosaikunda region surrounded by Himalayas range, delightful forest, beautiful scenario and lush wild nature.

Gosaikunda is a significant place of interest on the Dhunche-Helambu trekking route. This trek adjoins the famous Langtang Valley trek in the same district. Both treks can be combined. Basic accommodation is quite easily available. Tea houses offer a variety of food and snacks.

The trek to Gosaikunda starts in Dhunche Village or Syabru Besi in the Langtang Himal, or in Sundarijal in the Kathmandu Valley. When starting from Dhunche, the first day involves a long steady climb to reach Chandan Bari at an altitude of about 3,200 m (10,500 ft). Laurebinayak at about 3,700 m (12,100 ft) can be reached on the second day. At this point, some trekkers choose to climb ahead to Gosaikunda, though altitude sickness is a concern as the ascent is rather steep. Many trekkers choose to stay at Laurebinayak, which also provides sunset and sunrise views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal. The descent from Gosaikund to Sundarijal  takes about four days and involves a short climb to Laurebina La at 4,610 m (15,120 ft), a rapid descent to Phedi and onwards to Ghopte. Depending on pace, there are options to stay at Thadepati, Mangengoth, Kutumsang and at many villages farther downhill. The trails are well marked, except between Ghopte and Thadepati.You can reach by bus , private vechicles. Best destination for the treeking for kathmandu.For the nature lover , people must visit this place. Our 2018 miss Nepal Shrinkhala khatiwada also shoot her video at gosikunda.
