Gosaikunda is a sacred alpine lake located in the Langtang National Park of Nepal, revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Nestled at an altitude of 4,380 meters, it is believed to be the abode of the Hindu deity Shiva. The lake attracts pilgrims, especially during the festival of Janai Purnima, and offers stunning views of surrounding snow-capped peaks. The region features diverse flora and fauna and serves as a popular trekking destination, with trails leading from Langtang Valley. Gosaikunda is not only a site of spiritual significance but also a showcase of Nepal's natural beauty.
