Gosaikunda

Gosaikunda ,thr name of the holy place which most of us have heard if not have visited is a site of Hindu Pilgrimage ,attracting domestic as well as the international travelers . It lies in the Langtang National park at the altitude of 4361 m from the sea level .During the period of august full moon ( janai Purnima ) ,thousands of pilgrims flock to this lake to take holy bath ,pray and worship the lord . It is said that the region constitutes more than hundreds of holy lakes.

The trek to Gosaikunda can be started either from Dhunche ,Syabrubesi or from Shivapuri National Park along with Helambu trekking Trails .It is about nine days tea house trek. The general route popular among Nepalese is from Sundarijal due to Its Flesibility in altitude variations suitable for elderly people. The route pffers to visit Shjivapuri National Park along the trail with the fascinating views  of Lngtang Lirung ,Langtang Range ,Ganesh Himal Range ,Dorje lakpa Mountain Range , Naya Kaanga ,Lang Sisha and many other peaks.

I was planning my trip from Helambu to Gosaikunda ,But lack of enough time made me start the journey from Dhunche via Lauribinayak and complete it in six days .At first I thought six days was sufficient for me to explore and fulfill my desire of enjoying the views of mountains and expeience trekking around Gosaikunda ,but later ,I came to know that my choice was not good for viewing the mountains rather was for quickly making the pilgrimage trip only. Further ,I had to suffer from from lack of sufficient waer supply along the trail and due to drastic variation of altitude ; its quite difficult to trek in region through the dhunche route.

Benefits of Trekking

Trekking in Nepal with http://www.startvisitnepal.blogspot.com
Find your new self, Discover a new way to physical and spiritual wellbeing.
When there were no means of travel people had to commute by walking. Now, with advancement in the modes of travel, we have forgotten travelling on foot. We have become tourists rather that travelers.
Trekking is a one of a kind experience in which the addiction to connect with nature and to stay fit is a lifetime legacy. I have experienced the goodness of trekking in its entirety that’s why I’ve been hooked to it since the last 30 years. I urge you to try it too. Some of the benefits it gives you are…
A fitter you
When you are trekking, you are out in nature and that is the best place to get free doses of vital ingredients for your body to function at its optimum. The abundance of pure air, full of oxygen, and the vitamin D from the sunlight are helpful for your lungs and bones.
More oxygenation of the blood benefits many metabolic activities and stronger bones mean problem-free joints. Trekking builds stamina and is beneficial to your cardio-respiratory system as it tones the heart muscle and improves lung function. It also tones your body and helps you stay on the slim side of the scale.
A lot of people think it’s foolish to explore on foot when transport is readily available. Just like your car, your body needs maintenance too: it has to be regularly serviced so that in times of emergency, it functions at its peak. Trekking on a regular basis helps keep your body in mint condition. It has the resilience to fight disease when you need it the most.
Chance to connect with yourself.
Trekking enables you to explore your hidden inner persona. You have all the time to yourself without any outside interference while you soak in the calm environment around you.
Trekking disciplines you and teaches you to live every moment of your life to the fullest you discover a new self, which was hidden and dulled by the routine chores of day to day existence.
Improved life skills
Trekking also teaches you time management, for, you have to plan your route and arrival time with precision so that you may have adequate rest and then continue your journey the next day. this skill is useful in your routine work as well it helps you manage your workload efficiently so that you need not fate time constraints and have enough time to complete all tasks well.
A trek sharpens your reflexes and response and boosts your self-confidence, which helps you overcome the obstacles and difficulties encountered in daily life. Perhaps that is why our ancestors went on pilgrimages to far off places.
Even today many people go undertake pilgrimages on foot. They climb mountains and cover vast distances and although they face hardships on the way they return rejuvenated.
Memories for a lifetime.
Trekking also gives you a chance to experience first-hand the enviable vistas that you otherwise see only on TV. The views and sceneries are so beautiful that they are incomparable to the visual experience we ‘imagine’ in front of the television. Camping out at night in the mountains, I often watch the dark blue-black sky studded with millions of stars, wondering about galaxies and constellations. The feeling is out of this world.
The pictures you click make for great memories to revive with your family and friends. Whenever I see picture or my trek, I feel enthused to relive similar experiences again. And off I go on another trek- it’s addictive.
The joy of travelling and many experiences touch your heart. It is good for your body and even better for your soul. Every time you go on a trek, you return a better and a more confident person.
Trekking tips
Anyone can trek at any age. If you are a beginner, start off with a one- day hiking in nature on flat terrain. Once you get a hang of it, graduate to taking extended treks for a couple of days to a week.
For a trek all you need is a haversack, one time meal, water, a first-aid kit, a hat and a passionate zeal to complete the trek. Off course, when trekking in the mountains you need a raincoat a sweater and a wind-cheater too.
If done the right way, a trek is not exhausting but invigorating. The technique is to focus on your rhythm of walking and breathing. The steps you take and the times you inhale and exhale have to be adjusted as per your speed of walking. If you maintain this, you can trek for hours on end.

Rara Lake

This rara lake trek through the remote wilderness of western Nepal to visit Rara Lake, Nepal's largest at 16 sq km, offers a superb experience of nature. Beginning the trek from the mountain airstrip at Jumla the trail passes through green countryside, providing glimpses of a culture and scenery quite different from that found elsewhere in Nepal, which eventually leads to Rara Lake National Park. This beautiful high altitude lake is surrounded by Himalayan meadows and forests of pine, juniper and spruce, whilst in the background you can view the magnificent snow-capped peaks of the high Himalayas. The entire route is 'off the beaten track'; it involves the crossing of Danphya Langa Pass at 3,720m on the way to Rara Lake and two ridges at about 3,500m when hiking back

Apa Sherpa

Two Sherpas, Apa Sherpa and Phurba Tashi, hold the joint record for most Everest ascents. The pair have each managed to reach the summit an impressive 21 times. Phurba reached the top of the world three times in 2007 alone, and Apa has successfully summited the mountain almost every year between 1990 and 2011.Apa says that he has seen clear changes on Everest caused by global warming over the years. He has spoken of his concerns over melting snow and glaciers, which expose the rock and make it increasingly tough to climb. He also worries for the well-being of Sherpas, after losing his own home in a flood caused by the melted glaciers. Apa has dedicated several Everest ascents to raising awareness of climate change.
