Gosaikunda Lake, which is located at 4,380M (14,370 ft.) in Gosaikunda National Park in Rasuwa district, Nepal’s Langtang region, is an alpine freshwater lake.
Gosaikunda is said to be named after the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. These epics tell a story about Samundra Manthan, which is also referred to as Shiva’s adobe in Hindu mythology.
Water from Gosaikunda is holy, and Hindus from all over Nepal and India come to the area during Gangadashahara and Janai Purnima, two major Hindu holidays.
The Lake was formed when Lord Shiva drove his Trishul (Trident of Shiva) into the mountain to get water to cool his stinging throat after he had ingested poison. It is said that drinking water from Gosainkunda Lake protects visitors’ bodies against injury for their entire lives.
