Lauribinayak, well the name has an interesting story. In literal sense ‘Lauri’ mean stick/pole and ‘Binayak’ means to rest or a halt. So you can expect plain walk after crossing Lauribinayak. The path will follow the sloppy hill walk which will lead to lake within 2 hours. The majestic view of Langtang and Ganesh himal can be observed on the way.
