Thousands of devotees are expected to visit the sacred Himalayan lake of Gosainkunda for the annual Ganga Dashahara fair, which began on May 17 and continues until May 26. Pilgrims believe ritual baths in the lake purify sins and grant spiritual salvation. The journey to the high-altitude lake involves a trek from Dhunche, with arrangements for food, accommodation, security, and rescue services in place. Devotees are advised to take precautions against altitude sickness, and authorities urge them to protect the fragile Himalayan environment.
