| Gosainkunda
Helambu Trekking |
Gosainkunda-Helambu is lies
just South of the Tibetan border. This combine trek offers
the great diversity in both nature and culture. Its main
attraction is Buddhist cultural experience, beautiful
Helambu village which is inhabited by Tamang, Sherpas,
beautiful mountain views, lots of photographic opportunities,
ecologically well managed bio-diversity. This trek also
provides a chance to observe one of a holy site of Hindu
and Buddhist the sacred Gosainkunda Lake. The area is
protected as the Langtang National Park. The most striking
feature is the contrasting climate, terrain and flora
to be found here within a close proximity. The trail could
begin in a tropical forest and by evening put you in the
middle of a freezing alpine landscape. The sacred lake
of Gosaikunda is one of the chief lures here. The Hindu
faithful come to worship the numerous shrines of Lord
Shiva in the area. Great views of Langtang Lirung (7245m),
Ganesh Himal (7146m) and Dorje Lhakpa (6990m) peaks are
the reward for the trekkers. The language, culture and
dress of the Helambu Sherpas are very different from the
Solu Khumbu Sherpas. Accessibility has created an influx
of tourist, making Helambu a popular tourist destination. |
