If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received. If you cancel one month before departure, 10… - **Booking type (label)**: supabase-request ## What’s included / kit / extras (plain text excerpts) ### Highlights 8-day sacred-lake trek from Dhunche via Shin Gompa Laurebinayak and Gosainkunda at about 4,380 m Fir-forest lodges and the Hindu pilgrim trail Tamang dining rooms on the climb to the lakes Walk out to Dhunche or toward Helambu as mapped 🗺️ Trip Overview Gosainkunda’s sacred lakes sit above 4,300 m on the Lauribina ridge, reached from Dhunche through Shin Gompa. You climb fir forest to Laurebinayak and the cluster of blue-green lakes. Laurebinayak and the cluster of sacred lakes at about 4,380 m are the high point of the ridge. Hindu pilgrims and Tamang lodges share the trail. You retrace to Dhunche, or continue toward Helambu only when that exit is on the day-by-day plan. Shin Gompa’s monastery night and a Dhunche jeep out are the usual bookends on this pilgrim trail. ✨ Why Choose Us The pilgrim climb starts at Dhunche, then Shin Gompa and Laurebinayak, not Sundarijal. Our Kathmandu office books the lake lodges before festival weeks fill the ridge, and your guide watches height toward the sacred water. You'll reach Gosainkunda and turn for the Dhunche bus unless a Helambu exit is already on your day-by-day plan. Guides train on altitude illness because this ridge gains height fast after the forest. We would rather add a night at Laurebinayak than rush a lake morning in cloud. Porters stay with you on the stone switchbacks, insured and paid fairly, with loads checked at the roadhead. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Airport pickup and drop-off between Kathmandu hotel and airport Three nights in a 3-star Kathmandu hotel with breakfast Bus Kathmandu to Dhunche Bazaar and return Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on trekking days Teahouse or lodge accommodation on the trail National park entry permit Tour permits and paperwork handled for you TIMS permit Licensed guide and porters (one porter per two trekkers) First aid kit on the tour Government taxes and service charges for the tour Travel and rescue arrangements ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Nepal visa fees International flights to and from Kathmandu Travel and emergency rescue insurance Personal trail costs (phone, laundry, drinks, charging, showers, water) ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? Stable trekking weather most often falls in pre-monsoon spring and post-monsoon autumn. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. If your dates sit in winter or monsoon, pack rain and cold layers and accept that flight or pass days may move by a day when safety requires it. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, road transfers, porter support, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. ### What is not included? International flights to Nepal, visa fees, compulsory travel insurance, personal trekking clothing, snacks and drinks outside included meals, and tips for crew are not covered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Hotel meet in Thamel is typical; send flight numbers so pickup can meet you at the international terminal. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Rest day buffer after the trek helps if Lukla or helicopter sectors slip by a day. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### How does altitude sickness management work? Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### How do we reach the trailhead? Jeep or bus days to the remote trailhead are arranged when they are part of your package. Your guide confirms departure times at briefing. Motion sickness medicine helps on winding mountain roads. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### What permits are required? National park or restricted-area permits apply depending on the valleys you cross. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/d3f2ece0-e3af-4baf-909d-c53e4dfe7965/44b39c0d-ed9b-4c38-924b-30d5e282e53a/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
