This is the biggest Buddhist monastery in the entire region. After visiting this amazing place and exploring around we head further north towards Lake Gosaikunda. This holy lake is famous pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Rediscover Nepal will let you experience only the best of the best during the Langtang Gosaikunda Pass Trek! From here it begins as we face two passes above 3400 meters! First up is the highest, the Gosaikunda Pass at 4610 meters. The next day we face the Tharepati Pass at a lower elevation of 3490 meters. While enjoying the incredible snowcapped Himalayan views this Trek in Nepal is just full of incredible scenes.
