Overview

Lake Gosaikunda, also known as Gosainkunda, is a sacred site in Nepal, revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Nestled in Langtang National Park at an elevation of 4,380 meters in the Rasuwa district, this alpine freshwater lake spans approximately 34 acres. From October to June, it often freezes over, creating a magical winter landscape that evokes a sense of nostalgia. Regardless of the season, Gosaikunda Lake offers unique experiences each year.

The lake has deep connections to the epic tales of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, often referred to as the Samundra Manthan lake. In Hindu mythology, it is believed to be the abode of deities Shiva and Gauri. During the festivals of Gangadashahara and Janai Purnima, the waters of Gosaikunda are considered sacred, drawing pilgrims from across Nepal and India. According to legend, the lake was formed when Lord Shiva plunged his Trishul (trident) into the mountains to extract water and cool himself after consuming poison. Many pilgrims believe that drinking Gosaikunda's water promotes health and vitality.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

The Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour in Nepal starts from the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The round trip from Kathmandu to Gosaikunda takes approximately 1 hour. The flight begins after a short introduction of our captains and some mandatory safety precaution information. They will also provide you with information on how to handle an emergency. We make sure that the safety requirements have been checked off before we even begin the trip.

After the briefing, the helicopter takes off leaving the airstrip behind and heads to the north. As we fly over the dense city of Kathmandu, we enter Langtang National Park in just a few minutes of take-off. Swirling above the scattered Tamang settlements and flying beside the giants of verdant green hills, we will reach the Gosaikunda Lake after approximately 15 to 17 minutes.

Upon landing at Gosaikunda at an altitude of 4,380m, we will be greeted with the backdrop of a massive Langtang mountain range right in front of us. As we would have ascended to 4,000+m in only half an hour, spending more than 30 minutes could result in altitude sickness. However, it is very unlikely. So, to make the most out of our limited time, we start touring the location. The Gosaikunda Lake looks unreal in-person and it gives out a peaceful aura with the soothing sound, enough for you to let go of everything and just be present at the moment. You will find yourself surrounded by the giant mountains of the Langtang range. The weather at Gosaikunda can go from sunny to snowy real quick. The surrounding is usually very cold with a chilly breeze and thin air. The tour comes to an end as we fly back to Kathmandu airport.
