Things not to forget on Gosainkunda Yoga Trek:

Comfortable Yoga Mat
While the Gosainkunda Yoga Trek provides yoga sessions at stunning locations, it’s essential to bring a comfortable yoga mat that suits your practice. Opt for a lightweight, non-slip mat that’s easy to carry during the trek. A good mat ensures stability during outdoor yoga sessions and adds comfort when practicing on uneven terrain.
Layered Clothing for Varied Weather
Trekking to Gosainkunda involves varying altitudes, which bring significant temperature changes. Pack layers, including moisture-wicking base layers, a warm fleece, and a weather-resistant outer shell. This allows you to adjust your clothing based on the weather, ensuring you remain comfortable while trekking and during morning and evening yoga sessions.
Reusable Water Bottle with Filter
Staying hydrated is crucial during both trekking and yoga practice. Bring a reusable water bottle with a built-in filter to ensure safe drinking water throughout the journey. Access to clean water can be limited at higher altitudes, so a water filter will allow you to stay hydrated while minimizing your environmental impact.
Sunscreen and Sunglasses
The high altitude and exposure to the sun in the Langtang region can cause intense sunburn. Don’t forget to pack a high SPF sunscreen and sunglasses with UV protection. These will protect your skin and eyes during long trekking days and outdoor yoga sessions.
Portable Meditation Cushion
For participants who prefer comfort during seated meditation or mantra chanting, a portable meditation cushion is a great item to bring. It supports a proper posture, making long meditation sessions more comfortable, especially on rough or uneven ground.
