Hey guys!
First of all Thanks to Bhanu for giving me such a wonderful link about our country. This is raw beauty. The mountains are alive. These pictures are truly magnificent. I can’t stop watching pictures again and again. Now through this blog, I am asking permission to admin of this post whether I can create a group where I can post these pictures to promote you guys.

If yes then plz respond to this post.

Thanks “Race..”, “July 24th”, “Must visit place” for the comment after such a long time.

Based upon our experience, the best time to go for this trek is September to early December and half of February to First week of June. We visited the place on early November and the weather was SUPER AWESOME. I had never experienced the mountains from so close and such cleeeeeaaaan sky as is visible in the pictures as well.

Besides this, Gosaikunda is visited as a pilgrimage site on Janai Purnima. This festival falls around end of July. This is a rainy season, but you might love it if you love company all around and visit the place from cultural perspective. If you love solace, you should avoid this timing as it is too crowdy.
See our friend’s travelogue of a trek to Gosaikunda in JanaiPurnima, August 17, 2008

Here is some more info I collected from NepaliTrekkingInfo.com
Half of February to First week of June: From the half of February until the first part of June temperatures are relatively warm, 10° to 15° warmer than in the fall. Mornings are bright and clear with the air slowly becoming hazier as the day progresses. The rhododendron forests in springtime are spectacular, with color displays that are “Himalayan” in beauty. June is warm and green with many fewer people - the sense of solitude is much greater than other seasons.

September to half of December: September to early December is an ideal time for the best mountain views. The days are typically sunny and clear with moderate temperatures and the evenings are usually quite cold.

Never seen any place in nepal like this, Can anyone from the this trek suggest me when to trek this place?
I can’t stop my feet.
Must be costly but can’t hold myself back.
And these must be professional photographers.

Great pictures of Gosaikunda which showcase how blessed Nepal is to have this splendid of nature. And bizarre things about Nepali is ‘People who wish to go can’t go afford and people how can afford to go don’t wish to go’. Besides, I ponder on this idea of having ‘will to go’ or ‘our luck plays its role’ in favor of taking us at these heavenly places. Even traveler like me fails to answer whether it’s ‘Will to go’ or ‘Luck’ for us to be places of nature’s joy. My secret recipe is to grab opportunity that may come along to go places like such.

Excellent works guys!! And I had to scrutinize these beautiful pictures for hours to make my rating more accurate. Here’s Shutterbug Pictures Rating:

Well composed shot : Third Picture and Sixth picture from the beginning: Landscape of Gosaikunda Lake” & pictures number: ‘033, 039, 047, 099, 128, 181, 185
‘042, 168 & 178
Perfect shots : “Sixth picture from the beginning: Landscape of Gosaikunda Lake”
Lucky Shot : ‘128, 135 & 146′
Best Portrait Shot : ‘019′
Prize Winning shot : ‘181 and “Sixth picture from the beginning: Landscape of Gosaikunda Lake”

My both thumb up to all Photographers.
