My great-grand parents used to go to gosaikunda on bare foot. From pulchowk to the top on gosaikunda on foot. It took them 5 days to get to the start of gosaikunda and they could complete the trek really easily.
In the modern times too, gosaikunda is really famous as a religious site. You’ll find a special time of the year where people visit gosaikunda.
I’ll tell you my experience.
I was returning from a trek it gosaikunda.
It was late.
I was at lauribina and still decided to come down. There I saw a white figure that looked like something out of a folk tale.
