Nepal, the Himalayan country is fascinated by the stunning Snow-capped Mountains, high-altitude pristine glacial lakes, the fresh aura of unexploited nature, beautiful scenery of vast landscape, and the myths and mysteries of various religions. And those of various religions Hindus, Buddhists, and Shamans take the Himalayas, the pristine glacial lake as their sacred. One of them is Bhairav Kunda.

Bhairav Kunda is a lake elevated at 4,240 meters above sea level located in Sindupalchowk district. Bhairav Kunda Trekking takes you to this lake which offers a stunning view of snow-capped mountain Panoramas. This lake has its own legacy and significance in Hindu Religion, as thousands of pilgrims visit this lake in the month of ‘Bhadra’ (August) during the Full Moon. Trekking to Bhairav Kunda leads you to the most preserved pilgrimage site with a vast and incredible landscape featuring pristine lakes.

Bhairav Kunda Trekking is also considered a divine journey. The view of mountains and the incredible landscape really gives you the feel of heaven. This trek offers great Mountain views of the Rolwaling range, Dorje Lakpa (6,966m), Madiya (6,257m), and Phurbi Ghhyachu (6,637m), Jugal Himal, and the magnificent Tibetan Himalayan range. You will get the close-up views of different Tibetan plateaus and Glaciers. Other than the vast landscape and great mountain views, you will discover the primitive lifestyles of drifting nomads unchanged by time.

Bhairav Kunda Trekking trail will take you along the off-beaten path and old trade route between Nepal and Tibet. You will hike past through the number of unexploited Buddhist villages, Sherpa Houses and past shortens. You will experience magnificent views of Mountain panoramas which include peaks such as Dorje Lakpa, Madiya, and Phurbi Ghhyachu.

As per your flight plan, we will be at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu to stretch out a warm welcome to you in our wonderful nation for the lovely outing. As you fly towards the International Terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport on a clear sunny day, you can see the breathtaking views of snow-capped mountain peaks spread in distance.

Once you land, a representative from Himalayan Scenery Treks will escort you to your hotel. The day is complete leisure. You can either choose to rest in your hotel room and remove jet lag or take a short walk around the ancient valley of Kathmandu.

On the second day of your arrival, we will be taking you for a sightseeing tour to some of Nepal’s most historic sites after morning breakfast. Talking about the cultural richness, Kathmandu is the cultural heart of Nepal. This city has an interesting combination of Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Western influence in the valley. We will be taking you on the historical and cultural sightseeing tour around Kathmandu valley.

We will take a tour around Kathmandu Durbar Square, Monkey Temple- Swoyambhunath Stupa – the oldest monument in Kathmandu valley, Pashupatinath Temple – the biggest Hindu Shrine and Bouddhanath- a massive Buddhist Shrine. All these historical monuments are listed on the UNESCO World Heritage site. You will be accompanied by a professional licensed guide during your city tour around the beautiful city of Temples. 

After having breakfast, we will head towards Jalbire. It is about a 5-hour charming drive from Kathmandu to Jalbire. This place is famous for its beautiful views of mountains. Jalbire is occupied by the Newari people. It is also home to the Hindu temple of the god Vishnu which lies on the banks of the Balephi river. You will spend your first-night experiencing Newari culture in your first night camp.

Early morning after having breakfast our trek will start. It takes around 4 hours of easy walking along a path to Chanute. We will pass through some Tamang villages with a great view of a waterfall. Chanute is a small village with brahmin and Chettri settlements.

The hike today is longer and steeper. Once we have breakfast, we will commence our journey to the Khani Gaun. From Chanaute about 5 to 6 hours of steep ascend on small walking trails reaches Khani Gaun. This hike is going to be harder so we will hike slowly, and stop for resting and enjoying the views along the way.

Before we arrive at Khani Guan for the overnight stay, we will pass through ethnic villages, stunningly terraced fields, streams, and a local school. Khani Gaun is a beautiful settlement that is inhabited by the Newar community. It is believed that this village was formed after the Newar people fled from Bhaktapur in the middle of the 18th century after the battle between Gorkha and Bhaktapur. From the village, you can enjoy some magnificent views of the mountain. 

Hiking out of the Khani Gaun, we will take a steep uphill climb through the beautiful Rhododendron forest and occasional grazing pasture. During our hike, we will get to see some nomad houses for cattle. If we are lucky enough, we also encounter some wild animals (especially bears and leopards) and birds. We will camp in the forest for the overnight stay. 

Another tough and challenging day. We will commence our trek today with a steep ascent through pine and rhododendron forest. As the trek today is the steep uphill climbing, we take it easy on the way up, enjoying the surrounding. After 4 hours of challenging climb, we eventually reach Pathi.

As we arrive early at this small but wonderful settlement, we will have sufficient time to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature at its best. In Pati, you also get to see some of the houses made by pilgrims along with a magnificent mountain view. We set up the camp at Pati for the overnight stay.

Today is the day off to rest day. As we are already at an altitude of 3765 meters, resting for acclimatization helps our body to adjust to the high altitude. Resting to acclimatize also reduces the chance of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). In the daytime, we will go to explore around the Pati and get ready for our next ascent tomorrow.   

After having breakfast at the camp, we begin our morning walk with an uphill climb for an hour. After an hour of a tiring uphill climb, we continue our hike on a distinct level path for about two and a half hours to Bhairav Kunda.

Bhairav Kunda is a holy pilgrimage site of both Hindus and Buddhists along with Shamans. It is believed that, taking a bath in the lake during the full moon of June/August, will wash away the sins from their life. At the side of Kunda (Lake), there is a small temple of Bhairav (the destructive form of Lord Shiva). Yearly, many pilgrims visit this sacred lake to take a holy bath at Lake and pay homage to Lord Shiva. 

We will be starting our trek early to Bhairav Kunda's viewpoint to enjoy the heavenly sunrise. Reaching the top ridge of the hill, you will be blessed with some magnificent views of the Langtang, Jugal Himal Range, Rowling Range, and the Tibet Range. After enjoying the breathtaking view of the sunrise, we will return to the camp for breakfast. Continuing our walk, we hike steeply down for about 6 hours through the forest to arrive at Sherpa village. We set up a camp in this village for the overnight stay. 

Today is the last day of our trekking. We will start our trek today with a steep downhill walk for about three and a half hours to arrive at the bank of Bhote Koshi River. Walking back of the Bhote Koshi river, we arrive at Larche. After Larche, we can take a further 30 minutes to walk to the hot spring for a bath and chill out after the long exhausting hike.

After so many days of trekking through fascinating forests and villages, we finally head back to the comforts of Kathmandu. We take a bus at 7 in the morning and drive back on Araniko Highway with a scenic countryside view. After reaching Kathmandu, we transfer you to the hotel for rest and refreshment.

    On the last day of our trip, a representative of Himalayan Scenery Treks will drive you to the airport according to your flight schedule back to home or onward destination.

    Meeting you has been such a wonderful experience, and we do hope our relationship will keep going long.

    We hope that you enjoyed the Bhairav Kunda Trek and hope to see you for another adventure soon.

      We did the Annapurnas sunrise + 2 days in Pokhara. The Annapurna sunrise was fantastic. The views are spectacular. Our guide, Amar Maga, recommended we change the initial itinerary and it was the best idea. We did a very beautiful trek with a fantastic accomplishment, Amar (guide) and Dawa (porter). 100% recommendable (trip + Amar + Dawa)

      Memorable trip to Nepal

      Just returned from one of the best trips of my life visiting the beautiful country of Nepal with a group of friends.Nepalese seem to be one of the most friendly and trustworthy people .Visited Kathmandu and then a tour to Pokhara ,trekking up to Pun hill to have a grand vista of Annapurna range. The guide, Amar was very supportive and friendly, and looked after all of us well. We had to change our trekking plans he was quite accommodative and got everything sorted out for us and did his best to make sure we had the best possible experience both culturally and in trekking. Safari at Chirwaan and we were lucky enough to have a glimpse of Bengali Tiger and a bear, and quite a few Rhinos. Now back home with memories to treasure for a life time.
