Langtang gosaikunda Trek(16 Days)

Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Kathmandu. Once checked in, you’ll have time to rest or explore the nearby local markets. In the evening, we’ll organize a pre-trek briefing where your guide will go over the trek route, weather expectations, safety tips, and packing list. You’ll also meet your trekking team.

After breakfast, we’ll drive north from Kathmandu through scenic foothills, terraced farms, and villages alongside the Trishuli River. The winding roads offer a preview of Himalayan landscapes. After about seven hours, we reach Syabrubesi, a small town and the starting point of the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek.

Our first trekking day begins as we follow the Langtang Khola river through lush forests filled with rhododendron, oak, and bamboo. We might spot langurs or red pandas along the trail. The path gradually ascends, passing small villages and suspension bridges before reaching Lama Hotel, a peaceful settlement tucked in the forest.

As we continue along the river, the valley becomes wider and the forest thins out. We pass Ghoda Tabela, where the army checks permits. The views open up to the Langtang Lirung range. Eventually, we arrive at Langtang Village, a culturally rich area inhabited mainly by Tamang people who follow Tibetan Buddhism.

The hike today isn't too long, and it goes up slowly through yak fields and mani walls. After going through a few small towns, we reach Kyanjin Gompa, which is the spiritual center of the Langtang Valley. We can go to the convent and the cheese factory here. The area is surrounded by beautiful hills with snow on top.

Today is a big day for getting used to the cooler weather. We get up early to go on a steep walk to Tserko Ri, which has a view of Langtang Lirung, Yala Peak, and Dorje Lakpa. The hike helps our bodies get ready for the days ahead when we will be at higher elevations. After taking in the view, we go back to Kyanjin to rest.

We retrace our steps down the valley, descending through the same route. The downhill walk is easier and faster, allowing more time to enjoy the forests, river views, and wildlife. We’ll spend the night again in Lama Hotel.

Leaving Lama Hotel, we take a new route toward Thulo Syabru. The trail descends and then ascends steeply through dense forests and scattered Tamang villages. Thulo Syabru is a large, traditional village with stone houses and prayer flags fluttering in the wind. The cultural richness here is notable.

We climb through rhododendron and pine forests as we enter the sacred zone leading toward Gosaikunda. The air gets thinner, and the views begin to stretch far and wide. Cholang Pati is a serene stopover just below Laurebina, offering great views of Ganesh Himal and Langtang Himal.

The path keeps going up through alpine scenery. When we get to Lauribina, we keep going along a rocky road until we reach the holy lakes of Gosaikunda. Gosaikunda is a holy place for both Hindus and Buddhists. It is surrounded by rough hills and ice. People think that Lord Shiva made the lake with his trident.

his will take 7 hours.
This day of the trip is the hardest on the body. We get up early to cross the Lauribina La Pass, which is the trek's highest point. From the top, you can see beautiful things. As we go over the pass, the ground gets rougher, and we follow forest trails that lead down to Ghopte.

A relatively short and scenic walk today through forests and meadows brings us to Tharepati. This is a great vantage point for distant Himalayan views and serves as a transition between the Gosaikunda trail and Helambu region.

As we go down, we pass through cute towns like Gul Bhanjyang and Kutumsang. The trail goes into the lush Helambu area, which is known for its friendly people and rich culture. Many people like to stop at Chisapani, which has views of both the high Himalayas and the lowlands.

On our last day of hiking, we'll be going down through Shivapuri National Park, which is full of waterfalls, animals, and trails through forests. We take a short drive back to Kathmandu and check into our hotel after getting to Sundarijal.

One whole day to discover Kathmandu by yourself. You can see old places like Patan Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), or Boudhanath. You can go shopping, visit different cafés, or even take a guided tour of the city.

After breakfast, we will transfer you to the international airport for your onward journey. Our team will assist you with final arrangements and wish you farewell.
