Langtang Gosainkund trekking is an adventurous journey that goes through the beautiful Langtang valley and the rich natural scenery in Langtang National Park. Gosaikunda Lake, one of the central attractions of this trek, is a famous pilgrim lake for Hindu and Buddhist devotees. Located at 4380 meters above sea level, the visitors feel blessed to reach there, where a festival of Janai Purnima is held during the August full moon. Lauribina Pass (4610m) is the highest and most thrilling pass of this trek.

Langtang Gosainkunda Lake Trek Highlights

  • World Heritage Sites visit Kathmandu.
  • Amazing Langtang Valley and Mountain Peaks.
  • Tibetan Buddhist’s Cultures.
  • Natural hot spring.
  • Home of the Snow Leopard and Rhododendron Forest.
  • Holy Lake Gosainkunda
  • Beautiful Landscape.

Combined with the Langtang Valley Trek, the trek to Langtang Gosaikunda begins in Syabrubesi and heads along the ridge of the Langtang Khola River. Crossing the ethnic villages like Lama Hotel and Chyamki, it enters the Langtang valley, which is described as one of the most beautiful valleys in the world. Trekkers believe it is worthwhile to explore the traditional way of life and culture, as well as costumes and rituals, in the Tibetan-like ethnic village where the Tamang groups live. The trek reaches up to the Kyanjin Gompa (3870m). The Himalayan views of Langtang and the Tibetan range are spectacular. Following the same trail, it treks down and heads towards the holy lake Gosaikunda from Thulo Syabru. The trail is rugged and challenging as it moves towards the high altitude. After the trek heads from Gosaikunda, it crosses the Lauribina Pass and heads towards the trail of Helambu trekking.

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek goes through the lush forests of oak, rhododendron, and pine. In the spring, the trail becomes very exciting and wonderful. If you trek in August, you can see the pilgrimages of Hindus and Buddhists. Acclimatization is necessary for this trek. Rugged Trails Nepal operates this trek with an ideal arrangement.

    In September, I had the great opportunity to travel to Nepal and the great luck that this company will organize my trip. I did a Tamang Heritage Langtang trek, in which everything was excellent, from the transfer to the guide, porter ... all excellent! and of course with a personalized and unique treatment. After the trek, I was in the city with city routes, also an excellent treatment. In summary a serious company, responsible and with a personalized and unique treatment.
