Langtang- Gosainkund Trek takes you to the wildest and scenically most beautiful spot in Nepal. The journey begins with a long drive from Kathmandu up to the lovely hill town of Syabrubensi where you will find a few lodges for an overnight stay. Next day the hike starts fromSyabrubenshi along the north side of the Langtang Valley to Sherpa Gaon where you will spend the second night in a lodge. While trekking, you will pass through beautiful and conifer forests of the Langtang National Park taking you to the higher altitude. After an overnight stay at Langtang Village, you will continue your hike to next destination walking over the high alpine yak pastures, glaciers and moraines around Kyangin and trek further up the Sacred Lake Gosainkund (4380 m). The area around Lake Gosainkund remains mostly enveloped in mist, and in clear weather, you can see beautiful mountains to the north. In the winter the lake remains frozen. Gosainkund is sacred for both Hindus and Buddhist, and every full moon day in the month of August many visitors from different parts of Nepal and India throng to celebrate the Gosainkund festival.

During the Langtang/Gosainkund trekking, you will have an opportunity to explore the whole range of Himalayan topography, ethnic culture, and lifestyle of the local people. Besides, you will also have a chance to see some interesting animals and birds on the side of trails. Among those found in the Langtang National Park are monkeys, musk deer, pika and the national bird of Nepal, the colorful pheasant.

The cultural immersion provided by the trek is just as enriching. Visitors have the chance to engage with the local Tamang and Sherpa communities, whose way of life is deeply connected to Buddhism and Hinduism. The villages along the route, with their traditional stone houses, monasteries, and vibrant religious practices, offer trekkers a glimpse into the daily lives and beliefs of these mountain people. Ancient monasteries, Buddhist stupas, and prayer flags add to the spiritual atmosphere, making the trek not only a physical journey but a deeply meaningful one.

Moreover, the transition from Langtang Valley to the quieter, less-traveled Helambu region provides a contrast in landscapes and culture, further enriching the trek’s experience.
