Gosainkunda-Helambu, 8 days trek/4nights kathmandu total 12 days

Level: Moderate to difficult (max. altitude 4,460 m)

Best Months :March-May and Sep-Dec

This trek moves from the low- and midlands, with lush forests to the shrubs and yak pastures above the alpine forests. There are also interesting transitions from Hindu to syncretic to Buddhist lifestyle. The people (Bhotiya) in the higher reaches of this area are similar to Sherpas, but much more isolated. There is an ethnic group identified as Sherpa in Helambu, but they are much more assimilated in terms of speech and dress. The holy lake of Gosainkunda (4,380 m) is revered by all and during the August full moon, hundreds of pilgrims make their way to it to sing, dance, bathe, and renew their faith.
