The Langtang Gosainkunda (Frozen Lake) Trek is a perfect side trip for those who are visiting the holy Kailash Mountain via Nepal –Tibet Kyurung border especially for the acclimatization purpose. Without doing so, it’s almost impossible to drive from the Kyurung border (1895m) to Saga (4600m) in a single day. Besides, the trek offers magnificent views of Annapurna –Langtang –Everest Himalayan range as well as sacred Gosainkunda Lake which is sacred for both Hindus as well as Buddhists.

Climbing Surya Peak (5145m/16978ft) takes 6-7 hours from Gosainkund village which is why we start our climb very early in the morning to catch morning fresh views. Following the trail around the edge of Gosainkund Lake to the eastwards and start climbing towards north, the trail goes through big boulders, unstable tire-size rocks, loose scree and a fairly precipitous climb. Keep on scending on the edge of the rocky slope which zigzags and continues climbing steeply reach us to the top of the peak. The closer the trail goes, the more difficult it is to spot the trail. Hiking polis are plus. Breathtaking views of Annapurna Himalayan range, Ganesh Himal, Langtang Himalayan range, Jugal Himal as well as Kathmandu valley can be seen between the rolling hills to the south from the apex. The wind calm, the sun bright and the vibe solemn. You feel like having communication with nature and engaging in a meditation.

There are spectacular views of the valley below with “Ganesh Himal” reaching up to the west and to the north a range of unnamed peaks just over the border in Tibet. There are a few teashops on your climb and after about 3½ hours of climbing you reach the top of the ridge where you will be pleased to have refreshments and lunch at Phoprang Hill. From here you head south contouring around the western side of the ridge. The trail leads you through a forest, over another ridge before climbing a ladder to cross a wall and into Sing Gompa itself, which is a small village with a few lodges, a gompa (from which the village derives its name) and its own cheese factory. ‘Sing’ is the Tibetan name for the trees in the area.
