Accommodations

You will be accommodated in tea-houses during the trek (on twin sharing basis). Single supplement will be availed on request and with cost of an additional 220 USD. Rooms with attached washrooms will be provided; however, tea houses in some places only have shared washing and toilet facilities. Also note that single rooms are available at lower elevation but it might be difficult to find them at higher elevations.

Meals

All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) will be provided during the trek. While trekking, you can enjoy Nepalese food as well the more common international cuisine (Tibetan, Continental, Italian, Indian, etc.). Breakfast and dinner will be served from the lodge menu where you spend the night whereas lunch will be served on the way to the next destination.

Physical Condition & Experience Requirements

Gosaikunda Trek is a moderate trek suitable for passionate walkers who can walk for around 5-7 hours a day with a light day pack. Walking in higher altitudes is more physically demanding than walking in lower altitudes; however, if you are in excellent health with average physical fitness and have a positive attitude, self-confidence and strong determination, you can accomplish this trek successfully. Exercising and jogging regularly for a few weeks prior to the trip is a good idea to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. It is vital for participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases to consult their doctor before taking the trip. Porters available on request too. 

Best Time to Travel

Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are the best season for this trek. Although the trek can be done during winter, the cold temperature might not be suitable for everyone.
