Gosaikunda Ama Yangri Trek derives its name from the religiously significant lake of Gosaikunda and Ama Yangri Peak. This lake situates in the northern part of the Langtang mountain range.  This trek, Ama Yangri trek is one of the important sites. It situates in the holy region of Helambu. The word Ama Yangri Peak means Mother Yangri Peak. However, locals of the Helambu region consider Ama Yangri Peak as the protector and the savior of the entire region of Helambu.

Generally, Gosaikunda Ama Yangri Trek begins from the comfort of Langtang National park. The best time to do Gosaikunda Ama Yangri Trek is March-April. During the full moon day of the month of Chaitra which falls between March and April, Hyalmo people gather in Ama Yangri to pay homage to the mother Yangri. Hyalmo is the major ethnic tribe living in the Langtang National Park area and the Helambu region. On that very day, they have a ritual to climb the summit of Mt. Ama Yangri.
