Great experience with WP Travel Engine Adventure
My mum and I did a 1-day hiking tour near Kathmandu with Joel. He is an amazing and experienced guide and above all very kind person. The hike was very nice, but what we liked the most was Joel company. We highly recommend him when going to any tour by WP Travel Engine Adventure. Also, the owner Joel is very nice and professional. Joel knows what Western travelers want and need. He is intelligent, informative and wise.

The Best trekking planner in Nepal
I did the trek twice in 2 years with WP Travel Engine Adventure - Poon Hill trek and Langtang trek. The company planned every detail of the trips that made us worry-free and assured that we got the best quality services during the whole trip. Our trek guides were so experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and humorous that made our trips full of laughter! Even the porters were of high quality and taking care of us when needed.

No other way to get satisfaction
Sunrise is the most beautiful and basecamp sunrise should be a must if you\'re in the area. Did the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Eco Adventure and cannot recommend Joel and his team highly enough. Joel knows what Western travelers want and need. He is intelligent, informative, wise, careful and a mine of information about Nepal, its history, and customs.

One of the best customer attitudes in Nepal.
Great trek and great guide/porter provided by unique adventure. I can simply recommend this trekking agency. The owner Joel Karki is an extremely helpful man, who will do whatever it takes to help you organize your trip and provide the best possible services. He also stays in touch to make sure everything is fine and well going. I met a lot of different customer attitudes in Nepal, and Joel has one of the best of them all. You are simply not just a pile of money for him.

The Gosaikunda area
The Gosaikunda area has been delineated as a religious site. Hindu mythology attributes Gosaikunda as the abode of the Hindu deities Shiva and Gauri. The Hindu scriptures Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu Purana, and the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata refer to Samudra Manthan, which is directly related to the origin of Gosaikunda. Its waters are considered holy and of particular significance during the Gangadashahara and the Janai Purnima festivals when thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India visit the area. Gosaikunda is believed to have been created by Lord Shiva when he thrust his Trishul (holy Trident) into a mountain to extract water so that he could cool his stinging throat after he had swallowed poison.
Dhunche-Helambu trekking route
Gosaikunda is a significant place of interest on the Dhunche-Helambu trekking route. This trek adjoins the famous Langtang Valley trek in the same district. Both treks can be combined. Basic accommodation is quite easily available. Tea houses offer a variety of food and snacks.
Langtang Himal
The trek to Gosaikunda starts in Dhunche Village or Syabru Besi in the Langtang Himal, or in Sundarijal in the Kathmandu Valley.
Steps
When starting from Dhunche, the first day involves a long steady climb to reach Chandan Bari at an altitude of about 3,200 m (10,500 ft). Laurebinayak at about 3,700 m (12,100 ft) can be reached on the second day. At this point, some trekkers choose to climb ahead to Gosaikunda, though altitude sickness is a concern as the ascent is rather steep. Many trekkers choose to stay at Laurebinayak, which also provides sunset and sunrise views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal. The descent from Gosaikund to Sundarijal takes about four days and involves a short climb to Laurebina La at 4,610 m (15,120 ft), a rapid descent to Phedi and onwards to Ghopte. Depending on pace, there are options to stay at Thadepati, Mangengoth, Kutumsang, and at many villages farther downhill. The trails are well marked, except between Ghopte and Thadepati.
