From Sing Gompa, we climb a ridge up to the main Gosainkunda trail. We follow a rugged trail with dramatic views to the Manaslu range, Ganesh Himal range, Tibetan peaks, and LangtangLirung. Eventually, the trail descends from the ridge to the first of three lakes SarashowtiKunda, the second is BhairabKunda and the third is the holy Gosainkunda. Thousands of Hindu pilgrims visit this lake during a full-moon festival in August. The lake is also scary to Buddhists. Overnight at a Guesthouse. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included.
