Description

Discover The Exquisite ‘Walking The Himalayas ‘ In Style

The Gosaikunda trek is a captivating journey that combines the remote and spectacular Langtang Valley with the pristine high mountain lakes at Gosainkunda. The adventure begins by following the Trisuli River north from Kathmandu, passing through Trisuli Bazaar and Dhunche to reach Syabrubensi, a Sherpa village on the outskirts of the Langtang National Park.

As we venture east into the Langtang valley, we traverse the river multiple times, winding through a gorge-like lower section surrounded by oak and rhododendron forests. The trail takes us to the Tamang village of Langtang and, further up the valley, to Kyangin Gompa. Here, we spend the night, savoring the local yak cheese and exploring the surroundings. Continuing our journey, we pass through Nubamatang, nestled in a hidden valley, and head towards the glaciers marking the gateway to Tibet.

On the way back, we travel through Syabru and Sing Gompa to a high plateau where the sacred lake Gosainkund is situated. Crossing the Llaurebena Pass (4610m), we continue south, bidding farewell to the Langtang region, and traverse the Helambu valley until we reach Gul Bhanjyang. This trek offers a rich blend of cultural experiences, natural wonders, and a glimpse into the sacred lakes of Gosainkunda.
