After breakfast in Kathmandu, we drive so far, to the district headquarters of Rasuwa. Dhunche is the headquarter of Rasuwa and the getaway for the Gosaikunda Trek. The Langtang trek begins from Syabru Besi which is about an hour of drive from Here. We take a private Tourist vehicle for that. We drive along the Trisuli River. We first go through the Prithivi Highway and take a diversion from Galchhi that connect the Nuwakot. We further go far till we enter the Rasuwa border. The terrace paddy land will be so incredible to admire during the drive. Before we approach Dhunche, we will check out at the Langtang National Park Check Point. With trek permission and luggage checking, we further drive until we arrive at Dhunche. We will see the Himalayan Panorama several times while on road.
After the morning snacks and breakfast, we exclusively start the Gosaikunda Trek. We take the straight way that takes us deep into the gorge and near the freshwater stream. About an hour of average walking bring us to the base/ beneath the gigantic hill. From here we continuously walk the upward hilly trail. The lush subtropical forest gradually fades and slowly the alpine plants become visible. The trail presents the long and large waterfalls far/ on the other side/back side is truly so incredible. The falls gosh all over the area. The burble and gurgle of the water and its gigantic looks are jaw-dropping. We cross the Deurali where stay for a while to rest. Deurali offers stunning views of the Langtang Himal and the range. Continuing the upward hike, we come to the Chandan Bari which locals also use to call Shin Gumba. The Chandan Bari has the Yak Cheese Factory run by the Government Corporation, Dairy Development Corporation. It manufactures the finest and world-famous Yak Cheese. Chandan Bari offers an outstanding view of the entire Valley and the tipping mountains. The Landscapes is fascinating. The greeneries, the sloppy green hills, the deep gorge, and the river make the entire look so pretty.
With the beautiful sunrise, we take our breakfast and begin to walk ahead. In the beginning, we ascend gradually through the ridge line or watershed. The whole down valley beneath our foot looks so incredible. The route is very easy and almost flat till Cholang Patti. We spend a while here claiming the outstanding views of the stunning Langtang Range before making another upward hike. Although the route is usually an upward hard walk, it is well maintained and wider throughout the trek. With a couple of hours of hike, we reach Lauri Binayak. This place offers incredible Panoramas. The Upper Gosaikunda Valley becomes opens and begins to see the high Himalayan terrains. With a couple of other upward hikes, we come to the point called the Buddha Mandir which is another marvelous place to admire the stunning colossal of the Langtang Range and the Gosaikunda on another side. The Watershed offers stunning 360-degree views: mountains, hills, green landscapes, and the deep valley beneath. From here, the route becomes straight and slightly upward ascending through rocky and sloppy sideways with naked crags. The whole way from here has railed for safety and the path is well maintained.
The Ganesh Temple is the first place that allows one to see the turquoise Himalayan freshwater lake series of Gosaikunda. This small pass is the gateway to the Himalayan vales. With 30-45 minutes of walking from the Ganesh Temple, we come to the upside of the Lake. We drop our luggage at the hotel and get to the small ridge that offers stunning views of both Gosaikunda and Bhairav Kunda. The dusk show will be so amazing.
The beauty of the Gosaikunda is so impressive and one can’t collect or cove all the moments in a single visit. Despite its beauty being out of full coverage, we still try out our best effort the admire it more and more. We spend a day herein exploring the surrounding. We take a hike to Surya Kunda after sunrise. It is another marvelous place to explore while in Gosaikunda Region. The Himalayan Glacial Lake offers outstanding mountain views and their reflection on the pond. Likewise, the turquoise Gosaikunda also reflects fascinating & mesmerizing views. Standing on the side of the lakes and admiring the entire mountains that surround the lakes! Just pleasant!
Although we do have not enough time to explore the whole region, we at least try to reach and explore the most and best places the whole day.
We again follow the path that we already walk on the previous day for Surya Kunda. We ascend to the Surya Kunda which lies at the Elevation of 4,610m and go furthermore till we reach the Lauri Binayak la Pass. Crossing the Pass, we gradually descend, and a few rounds of downturn begin to show the forest and alpine plants.

The whole environment changes suddenly like the change in the wallpaper. The alpine range change to a Subtropical forest and the weather suddenly feels warmer. Even the houses and villages look different as well.
Sundarijal- Chisapani is one of the famous day hikes near Kathmandu. Many peoples hike this way on weekends. After breakfast, we gradually hike down through the lush and thick Shivapuri Forest. The Area itself falls under the Shivapuri National Park. We can witness the numerous endemic and rare plants, wildflowers, and trees. If we are lucky may see wild animals as well. Seeing wild animals in the hilly area is very rear. Upon reaching Sundarijal, we take either the cab or our private vehicle will pick us up from there to Kathmandu.
