Short trek from Kathmandu
If you are looking to go into nature right after landing in Kathmandu without further travelling or flying, then 'Gosaikunda Lake Trek' in Langtang National park is the best option. Just a short drive to the north of Kathmandu and start trekking through the lush jungle of Shivapuri national park. Then follow the classic pilgrimage route to Gosaikunda Lake. The lake at 4,380 m is considered sacred by Shamans, Hindus and Buddhists alike. Moreover this is the closest alpine lake one can reach within a week's trek from Kathmandu.
