Two trekking routes leading to Gosainkunda ready to greet travellers this Janaipurnima

Two trekking routes are being brought into full operation with necessary preparations for pilgrims and tourists heading to the Gosainkunda alpine lake on the occasion of Janaipurnima, an annual festival of the Hindus.

The festival is being celebrated coming Friday this year.

The two routes – one beginning from Kathmandu’s Sundarijal and another from Nuwakot’s Samundratar – have been equipped with all necessities for the travellers, according to hotel entrepreneurs.

This routes had been in operation for the past few years, but they lacked proper management and necessary support system.

The trek route from Sundarijal passes through the pristine landscapes in Chisapani, Kutungsang, Bhanginagoth, Chaharepati, Ghoptebhir to Suryakunda from where trekkers have to descend to Gosainkunda. The route is more prepared for the travellers than it had been in the past, according to Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Hotel Entrepreneurs Concern Committee Vice-Chairman, Pemba Lama.
