Dhunche to Gosaikunda Distance

The distance from Dhunche to Gosaikunda is approximately 12 to 17 kilometers (7.5 to 10.5 miles) one way, depending on the trekking route chosen. The trek involves a significant elevation gain, starting at around 1,960 meters (6,430 feet) in Dhunche and reaching 4,380 meters (14,370 feet) at Gosaikunda Lake. Although the distance is relatively short, the ascent can be challenging due to the steep and rocky trail.

The journey to Gosaikunda typically takes 2 to 3 days, with stops at locations such as Deurali, Dhimsa, and Chandanbari (Sing Gompa) before reaching the lake. The trek is known for its beautiful scenery and sacred significance, as Gosaikunda is an important religious site for Hindus. Experienced trekkers may opt to descend directly from Gosaikunda to Dhunche in a single day, but this requires good fitness and careful planning due to the strenuous nature of the trail.

Well organized

My friend and I met Hari in Kathmandu and he offered to take us to Gosaikunda in a 6 days trek. He was very prepared and organized, he took care of everything: the jeep, trekking permit, accomodation and food. On the trek he perfectly knew the path, he always knew where we were and even when unexpected situations occurred he knew what to do.
We recommend this trekking agency to everybody!

Wonderful 4 days trip to Gosainkunda Langtang Nationalpark

I was a solo traveller and have hired Hari, my personal guide, who accompanied me on my 4 days hike to the holy lake Gosainkunda, in Langtang Nationalpark.
We had a great time and although it was my first time being on height (4400m), I always felt safe due to him. Also, having a guide, who knows so much about nature, culture and history about his own country makes it even a better experience and understanding of Nepal.
Furthermore, during the hike he was always very patient and kind, which I find is really important to enjoy the whole trip as it is getting very exhausting some time.
I can only recommend him, if you are looking for a professional guide, but also a very friendly and patient person, who leads you through the mountains of Himalaya safely :)

Incredible views

Last November (2015) my dad and I did a 4 day hike with Hari from Dhunche to Gosaikunda. I was put in regular contact with Hari (through a friend) prior to arriving in Nepal and had to change my itinerary a number of times, which Hari was more than willing to work around and accommodate.

The Dhunche to Gosaikunda walk, which was recommended Hari given our relatively short time we had in Nepal, exceeded expectations. It was absolutely incredible. The views of Himalayan Mountains were breathtaking and I will never forget it.

The walk aside, dad and I were really lucky to have a guide like Hari. He is incredibly humble, kind and courteous and a very proud Nepalese man with an excellent knowledge of his countries history and politics, which made our conversations really interesting whilst hiking.

Dad and I couldn't have had a better experience with Hari and his company and couldn't recommend it more highly to people of all ages and all fitness levels.

Looking forward to returning to Nepal in the near future and hoping that this time we have enough time to Everest Base Camp!
