14 DAYS LANGTANG (GOSAINKUNDA) TREK
This trek has been considered as a young trek
as it was opened for trekking enthusiasts not so long ago. This trek offers
considerable spectacular views of mountains, meadows, forests, , different
wild animals, birds, glaciers and many more to feast the eyes of visitors.
Cheese factories, monasteries, and other monuments are other specialties
of this trek. Moreover, Gosaikund, a big lake dedicated to Lord Shiva and
as legend would have us believe, the habitat of Lord Shiva is extremely
enthralling where Hindu pilgrims serge in take a holy bath in monsoon.
Gosaikund was created by Lord Shiva when he pierced his Trident to obtain
water to quench his thirst after having swallowed "Kalkut", the most dangerous
poison, according to legend.
