Eventually, the trail descends from the ridge to the three lakes: Saraswati Kund, Bhairab Kund and Gosainkunda. Gosainkunda (Holy Shiva’s lake) is a particularly sacred place of pilgrimage. Hundreds of devotees come to this sacred place in the summer (especially on the day of Janai Purnima, which is one of the popular Hindu festivals). According to the Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva himself created this high-altitude lake. Overnight at the lodge in Gosaikunda.
