Gosai Kunda

Gosai Kunda is the holly place to visit for Hindu and buddhist. It is alpine fresh water lake in Nepal langtang National park located at an altitude of 4380 m above sea level in the Rasuwa District.
The Gosaikunda has been delineated as a religious site .Hindu myth attributes Gosaikunda as the abode of Lord Shiva. The myth tells that during the time  of Satya yug or God time , there was a manthan (spinning ) among  GOD and EVIL and so many thing came out from the sea same time Poison also came out named as KALKUT VISH so every GOD  and EVIL were afraid what to do to get rid of that poison ,so Lord SHIVA  drank that poison , but later for Lord SHIVA also it was terriable to tolerate the poison , his body bacame HOT and Addam'sApple  became blue with the effect of that Poison so to get rid of that LORD SHIVA  throw the trishul (holy three pointed sword ) to the mountain and water came out from the mountain and became lake , then after he drank the cold water to quench the overwhelming heat. Its a holy water are considered of particular significance during thread festival (Janai Purnima ) when thousand of pilgrim from nepal and India visit this area.
we can see on the image that we have religious tolerance among hindusm and buddhism. some Myth from buddism tells that Lord Buddha is the incarnation of Lord Shiva so  in this festival too hindu and buddhist celebrate the Festival.This trek is one of the tuff trek in the Nepal, we have to climb at an altitude of 4380m to reach the Kunda or Lake . we can see the narrow and steep path to reach the Gosaikunda ,evey year thousand of Pilgrims vist Gosaikunda. Among the thousand of Pilgrims i found  the old Grany whoes age was 86 and the most interesting thing is she came alone and carry all of the needed belonging by her self which could not stop me wait and see the brave grany and i took the picture for the memory for my life time memory.we took almost 16 hrs to reach the base camp of Gosaikunda . we took rest and early morning at 3 :15 am we started to reach our destination. This picture was taken at 5:12 am the view of Gosaikunda was aswome i could not explain or write what was my feeling , when i took bath and came out , my body pain and other down feeling was over. I got new energy and power , then i relaise that GOD is great ,even though im living the 21st century in a science life but i can say its the miracal , its the
 power of Super Naural Power (holy water ).As we are already clear about the religious tolerance among the hindu and buddhist but still i could not stop my self to take the innocent and holy pray by these ladies. As state in the Myth Lord Shiva Weapon make the whole on the mountain to make the way for water we can see the same in the picture which makes its way to form the lake (kunda). Another intersting feature of this region is that we have 108 lake or Kunda formed ,and i was lukcy to see another Kunda which ive kept here ,but its very difficult to find the 108 kunda , according to local people some traveller treid to find the 108 kunda but not returned back , so i walked slowly and so many question aries in my mind that what had had happened to that traveller ... Coming back to our destination i saw beautiful flower and i went near to have a look then
 all of sudden a sherpa i beleive he is the local people of that region ,told me that dont smell that flower , its poisonous , it have toxic which can make me drowsy then i took the picture from the far making sure that toxic wont goes to my nose. after crossing the steep and narrow path we were coming down from the altitute on the way my eyes were attracted by one techniqe it was water collection from the rain. it was very good and simple methord to collect the water , we can see the picuture that how to collect the
rain water ...   watching flora and fauna it took us  approxmiately 9 hrs down track to come to our destination. we can see the road track on the mountain which leads to the another destination China, lets hope we can travel there very soon and i can come back with the new story again .bye for now
