Spend the first night there and start the trek the next day. On the third day, you will walk for two days to reach Gosaikunda, a lake that carries significant religious value to Hindus and Buddhists.

The Sundarijal Gosainkunda 11 Days trek is less crowded, and trekkers cross the Lauri Bina la pass on the opposite side, which makes it a unique experience. Along the trek, trekkers can see stunning views of the Himalayas, lakes, natures, and local people. They also go through local villages like Kutumsang, Tharepati, and Phedi, which are all excellent places to see the Langtang Himalayan range. Phedi is the beginning of the Laurebina la pass that takes trekkers to the Gosaikunda lake. The Sundarijal Gosaikunda trek is a highly recommended trek in the Langtang Regions of Nepal, and it is different from the typical Gosaikunda trek, which is done clockwise. Instead, this trek is done anti-clockwise, allowing trekkers to avoid the crowd and enjoy great scenery. The trek offers trekkers stunning mountain vistas, an opportunity to enjoy nature, interact with local people, and see the pristine Gosainkunda lake. It starts from Sundarijal and goes to Chisapani first, then to Tharepati, and crosses the Surya Kunda pass to reach the Gosaikunda lake, ending in Dhunche. The package is designed to take trekkers on a less-traffic route, filled with natural beauty.

During the trek, trekkers can enjoy a panoramic view of several mountain peaks, including Mt Langtang Lirung, Ganhenpo, Langtang Lirung II, Ganesh I, Mt Manaslu, and many others around the region. The highest point trekkers will reach on this trek is the Lauri Bina la pass, 4,610 m, which is a magnificent experience. There are several other lakes along the trek, such as Gosaikunda lake, Surya Kunda Lake, Bhirav Kunda lake, etc., all with breathtaking views. The trek goes through the Langtang National park, which is one of the biggest national parks in Nepal and the Home of the Red panda. Trekkers can see various types of flora and fauna and encounter different ethnic groups and their unique cultures.
