A sapphire jewel in the mountains of Langtang National Park, Gosainkunda is a stunning high altitude lake and pilgrimage site for Hindus. It's a fantastic 5 day add-on trek to the Langtang Valley, or a great standalone trek if you're looking for something close to Kathmandu with spectacular views and cultural interest. We were lucky to experience the landscape blanketed in snow, making the whole trek even more beautiful! Hope you enjoy the film and as always our route map and written guides are over on the blog to help you plan your own trek - www.goingthewholehogg.com/gosainkunda-trek-guide and www.goingthewholehogg.com/gosainkunda-helambu-trekking-route-guide Cheers!

Nice one (again!!). We did this in 2018. Starting the Tamang Heritage Trail, then on to the Langtang Trek and finishing up with the Gosaikunde Trek. Epic. Great to see it in the snowy landscape. Had the same room in Kutumsang!!! We were fortunate to actually see a Red Panda right after the Laurenbina Pass going on to Thadepati. Love Nepal. Keep the vid's coming! 🙏
Wow, you saw a red panda!!! That is very lucky, must have been an amazing experience. Sounds like a great itinerary too. We'd looked at doing something similar but we'd already settled the flight dates and couldn't fit it all in along with the Everest Three Passes. Hopefully we'll get to experience the Tamang Heritage Trail another time! The snow made it a bit harder going, but it was sooo beautiful. Ha, that room and its shower in Kutumsang was very welcome after a few more basic guesthouses! Will you be heading back to Nepal to trek again do you think?
We're a bit hestitant about going back now that you'll have to go with a guide. We've been to Nepal 6 times since 1996 and there's still a number of treks I would love to do. We're completely taken by the country & it's people.
The moon setting on one side, and the sun rising on the other - it was so beautiful! The perfect scene to end our trek : ) Thanks for watching and appreciating our work!
Thank you! It's a great trek passing through beautiful landscapes with the chance to stay at some characterful old guesthouses. Loved it! Glad to hear you're inspired to do it too : )
Ha, Benny Del is always a highlight! The snow definitely made it more challenging, but absolutely stunning. Definitely ended up feeling less like our 'warm up trek' and like a full on adventure in itself. Cheers for watching! Kim
@@sim-sam Ha, us neither! No, we kind of do. TH-cam likes it when creators publish videos regularly to schedule, with an audience watching regularly too. This makes YT more money through advertising, so they are more likely to push your videos on people's home page, resulting in more views, subscribers, etc. So, for people like us who do not upload videos weekly, instead focusing on high quality films that take a long time to create, it is less likely that YT will show our content to new people on their home page, so it is harder for us to grow our audience. It is why we are so appreciative of the people who do watch our films and leave comments and likes (like you!), because this engagement shows YT that audiences like our films, and there is more chance that YT will show it to more people on their home feed. This helps new people find us and our channel to grow. It is frustrating, but we keep trying our hardest to create the best films we can and grow this channel (even if it's very slow!).
Many thanks for another great incite to your trek in the Himalayas. I've enjoyed some of your other content too. Just a general criticism, and I'm trying to be constructive here...personally I would prefer a little dialogue, otherwise it has a tendency to become a little soulless.
Thanks for the feedback, Martin, always appreciated! Do you mean dialogue directly addressing the audience, or just dialogue between us or whoever is on screen at the time?
@GoingTheWholeHogg Between whoever is on screen ie., yourselves talking about the trail, its difficulties, the temperature, or your guides with you (if they are understandable) or in the tea houses. I feel they would add character to the content.
@@martinforrester8249 Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. When I've been reviewing footage and editing it all together I've felt like the whole story is more rounded when we have some of this type of footage to include, and must remember to try and capture moments like this in the future. Appreciate your feedback, thank you! Kim
I wouldn't expect there to be snow here in November (although we also didn't expect snow in early April but it happened!), so yes I think it's more likely that it will be more brown.
We have no personal experience from December, but it seems that winter sets in from mid-December and then snowfall is more likely. Expect it to be sunny during the day and cold at night. We were there in April. There had not been much snow over winter then suddenly there was a lot as we trekked to the lake.
It's too sad/bad, we no longer can enjoy your work and videos, as YT/Google has enforced ad-block-blocker measures - and nothing is visible anymore. Thanks anyway and good bye.
Hey, no problem. We did the route covered in this video from April 1st to April 6th. I think we got lucky with the heavy snowfall though, it’s certainly not guaranteed, but this is a good time for spring flowers 🌺

Truly wonderful! The experience at 46.10, stunning, must have been so special. Thank you for creating and sharing. 🙏

@@GoingTheWholeHoggI can imagine! 😃✨
What a stunning film! Feeling very inspired to do the trek :)
Thank you! It's a great trek passing through beautiful landscapes with the chance to stay at some characterful old guesthouses. Loved it! Glad to hear you're inspired to do it too : )
Spectacular views and the local people on their routines captured so well. Well done guys

Wow what a spot! Looked a slog 😁 Thanks for the escapism, it was good to see "Benny Del' getting the steps in 👍👌

@@GoingTheWholeHogg : Whats a litle bewildering: Your channel seems the most underrated as far as i can see, and i completely do not understand it!?

When the video was recorded
Early April 2023
Will it be this snowy in the month of November or will it be dry with less greenary with more brown theme in gosaikunda?
I wouldn't expect there to be snow here in November (although we also didn't expect snow in early April but it happened!), so yes I think it's more likely that it will be more brown.
