Advisor linkPeaceful Trek to a Holy Lake
My wife and I are very interested in Hindu religion, so we chose to trek to Bhairav Kunda Lake in Nepal. It was a meaningful journey. I learned so much about why the lake is considered sacred and why many people honor it.
We also visited some Sherpa and Tamang villages along the way. It was touching to see how hard the people work in these quiet, far-off places. The Langtang mountain views were really beautiful too.
I would love to come back to Nepal again. If you're planning a trek, I think CoreTreks is a great choice. They really know how to make the trip smooth and special.

A Calming Journey
Our trip to Bhairav Kunda Lake was very special. I felt calm and spiritually happy being in such a holy place. It was amazing to see people from Nepal and other countries come there to worship. The whole area had a peaceful feeling.
CoreTreks helped us with everything from packing to planning. Our guide told us many things about the places we passed through. We learned a lot on the way. I really want to come back to Nepal again.
