About Gosaikunda Lake

Gosaikunda Lake is a high-altitude oligotrophic lake, revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva created the lake by piercing the mountain with his Trishul (trident) to cool his burning throat after consuming poison. Every year, thousands of pilgrims visit Gosaikunda, especially during the Janai Purnima festival. The lake’s pristine blue waters, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, make it an awe-inspiring destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and spiritual devotees alike.
