Trip Overview of Bhairav Kunda Trek
More of a Spiritual trek, Bhairav Kunda Trek follows the least traveled route to the beautiful Bhairav Kunda Lake which is located at 4250m altitude height. Existing to the northeast of Kathmandu and near to Nepal- Tibet border, Bhairav Kunda is named after the destructive form of Lord Shiva- Bhairav. Hindu and Buddhist Devotees along with shamanic practitioners visit the exotic Bhairav Kunda Lake every year on the full moon of Bhadra which usually coincides with the august month of the English Calendar. Traveling through several villages with an opportunity to have a peek into the rural way of living and traditional culture and traditions, walking along the Mani walls, visiting the monastery, having wonderful views of Dorje Lakpa, Phurbi Ghyachu, Madiya, Jugal Mountain Range, and other Tibetan Mountains, passing through a forest of blooming rhododendrons and other alpine flowers and having the fantastic view of Bhairav Kunda Lake are major attractions of this trip.
Experts from ‘Tourist Link Treks & Expedition’ have placed ‘Bhairav Kunda Trek itinerary at 12 days which begins with a 5hours drive to Jalbire from where the adrenaline trekking experience initiates as we walk through the villages of Chanaute and Khani Gaon to Forest Camp which further leads us through Forest Camp and Pati to Bhairav Kunda. Taking the bath in the holy water of Bhairav Kunda, we will make a return trip through Sherpa Gaon and Hot Spring to Larche from where we will drive back to Kathmandu. This trip is feasible throughout the year but it would be better to avoid the trek during the Monsoon season.
