In contrast, others see the wonders of nature to observe it.
Generally, the trek lets you introduce the diverse culture of Tamang, Sherpa, and Hyolmo. Gosainkunda lake trekking is one of the shortest treks in Nepal and a relatively easy trek. Due to the rapid gaining of altitude, it may cause altitude sickness.

Tour Reviews
I would highly recommend Kumar and his agency. As a guide, he was extremely professional. Kumar’s expert knowledge of the mountains and long experience before setting up his business, along with his involvement with numerous philanthropic projects in his home village and in Dolpo, convinced us that we had chosen one of the best trekking agencies in Nepal.
