Gosaikund Full Moon Trekking Program 2010:
Nepal's one of most famous religious places for both Buddhism and Hinduism is
Gosaikunda lake situated at an altitude of about 4315 m. in north east of
Kathmandu surrounded by Himalayas. Every year during Full Moon day in August,
thousands of Buddhists and Hindu pilgrims come here for pilgrimage and it is
quite a sight to visit during the festival as well as the lake is worthwhile to
visit all year round.
The large rock lies in the center of Gosaikund lake
is religious symbol of a Shiva shrine. According to religious belief channel
carries water from the lake directly to the tank at the Kumbheshwar Temple in
Patan (Kathmandu Valley), 60 km south west. In the occasion of Full Moon
Festival, Shamans ("Dhami Jhankris") come from all over Nepal arrive to the lake
and have religious dancing and singing ceremony.
On Janai Purnima, a full moon day, Hindus chant the
powerful Gayatri Mantra and change their Sacred thread (janai), while a rakshya
bandhan, a red or yellow protection cord, is tied around the wrists of other
Hindus and Buddhists by the prist. Here they emulate Lord Shiva by bathing in
the sacred lake of Gosainkunda. Those unable to make the trek celebrate at
Shiva's Kumbheswor Mahadev temple in Patan. Here, a pool with an image of Shiva
at its center is filled with water believed to have come from Gosainkunda.
This moderate
trekking starts from the northeast side of Kathmandu Valley and goes north
towards the picturesque Langtang Valley. An interesting extension to this trek
can be a visit to the Langtang Valley. Apart from this trek extension, other
adventure activities once you are back in Kathmandu are always possible.
