Overview

The Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is one of the most anticipated trek in Nepal. The Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is a well-known trekking route in Nepal. River valleys, farm communities, high mountains, stunning lakes, Gosaikunda Pass, amazing forest and animals are just some of the highlights of the Langtang journey. Moreover, Tilman discovered and pioneered it in the early 1950s AD. We’ve created this spectacular attraction so that you can enjoy a variety of Himalayan experiences. Furthermore you will be exploring the enormous Himalayan range, taking in the scenery, local culture, beautiful forest, and wildlife. This tour gives you the opportunity to witness the extremely uncommon Red Panda.

Trekking through deep valleys to pristine high terrain, with beautiful snow-capped peaks and multi-ethnic networks, is a spectacular experience. Beautiful hill stations, lakes, and the Gosaikunda pass have all contributed to an unforgettable experience. Likewise, this Langtang valley is home to the bulk of Tamang people. Tibetan Buddhist culture has influenced them.

Gosaikunda Langtang Trekking begins with a drive to Syabrubesi. Moreover, to get to Langtang Village, follow the gorgeous river valley with lovely woodland. After the terrible earthquake in 2015, this village is being rebuilt. Similarly, hiking continues to Kyanjin Gumpa, which is nestled in the midst of the surrounding mountains. Similarly, the hike to Chori Khuri Ri is breathtakingly beautiful. It is a spectacular walk that offers panoramic views of the Himalayan range.

Trek back down the valley, stopping at Sybru Gaun on the way to Gosaikunda Lake past the Shing Gompa cheese factory. To reach Gosainkunda Lake, this section of the walk is steeply climbing (4,381 m-14,373ft high). Gosaikunda is a Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage destination. In August, they have a unique ceremony. Pilgrims believe that plunging their entire bodies into the Gosaikunda lake will wash away their life’s sins.

This Langtang Gosaikunda Trekking is not only full of opportunities to learn about local culture and traditions. It also provides breathtaking views of the Himalayas, which are surrounded by massive snow-capped peaks. In addition, views of Ganesh Himal (7,405m), Langtang Lirung (7,234m), Ghengu Liru (6571m), Kimshun (6,745m), Shalbachum (6,918m), Naya-Kanga (5,846m), and Fluted Peak. In addition, Annapurna I (8,091 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m), and Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m) are stunning sights to see. Beyond that, it reaches the Jugal Himal, ending in Dorje Lakpa (6,980m), and to the east, the Langtang’s upper meadows stop in a large mountain wall, creating the Tibetan border with Mt. Shisapangma (8,013 m-26,289 ft).

Gosaikunda Langtang Continue trekking to Gosinkunda pass (4,609 m-15,121 ft) and the Helambu region. All the way to Chisopani, we’ll pass through farmlands, terraces, and rural communities with ever-present snow-capped mountain views. Spend the night in this delightful spot known for its panoramic mountain views before traveling down to Sundarijal on the outskirts of Kathmandu.

The Langtang Valley with Gosaikunda journey concludes with a climb to Laurabina La (4610m) and the adjoining settlement of Thadepati, which offers dramatic vistas to the east, not to mention a sunrise for those who remain the night. The final leg of the journey takes you to Chisapani and then on to Sundarijal, which provides a pleasant finale to the excursion.
