Gosainkunda Lake Trek is one of Nepal's most gorgeous and religious treks. People from all over the world come to trek in the Langtang region because of its pristine beauty and sacred lake. In Tibetan, Langtang means "following yak," because Lang means "yak" and tang means "following yak." The Langtang region is noted for its beautiful mountain vistas of Langtang Lirung (7,227 meters), Gangchenpo (6,388 meters), Yala Peak (5,520 meters), Naya Kanga (5,844 meters), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 meters), Shishapangma (8,027 meters), and others. Gosaikunda Lake is one of the most sacred lakes to Hindus and Buddhists.
According to mythology, Lord Shiva, the destroyer, swallowed the Halahal poison that emerged from the Samudra Manthan (ocean churning), and then used his Trishul (trident) to extinguish the poison's burning. He smashed it into the Langtang glaciers, and water came out, which he drank to relieve the burning. As a result, the Gosaikunda Lake was formed, and it later became a spiritual site for Hindus and Buddhists. Scientists assume that the glaciers near its peaks melted and creating a lake.
