Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is a beautiful journey in Nepal through lush forests, quaint villages, abundant wildlife, and astounding views of the majestic Himalayas. The 17-day trek begins in Kathmandu with tours of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Then we drive to Syabrubesi which is a Tamang village located on the banks of the Bhote Koshi River and begin our trek. We reach Kyanjin Gompa and then climb Tserko Ri the next day. From there we get tremendous views of the Langtang Lirung (7,200m/23,622ft) range. Next, we continue trekking in the beautiful Langtang Valley and reach Gosaikunda which is a revered place of pilgrimage for both Buddhists and Hindus. Moreover, the place is named after the glistening Gosaikunda Lake whose water is believed to have magical healing powers. We pass by a few more lakes on our trek and cross the Laurebina Pass. Our trek in the Helambu Valley begins after crossing the pass. Another highlight of our hike is to reach the top of Ama Yangri at 3,800m. The view of the Himalayas from the top of the hill is believed to rival that of Poon Hill. From here, Mt. Shishapangma and the Langtang ranges seem so close that we feel that we can almost touch them. We continue trekking in the Helambu region for a few more days and end our remarkable journey to the mountains with a drive to Kathmandu.

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek takes us on a beautiful journey in Nepal through lush forests, quaint villages, abundant wildlife, and astounding views of the majestic Himalayas to the high and isolated Langtang Valley; populated by hospitable and welcoming Tamang people. Their religious practices, language, and dress are very similar to those of Tibet and to the traditions of their cousins in the middle hills. The area is famed for its pleasing local, exceptional tradition, Buddhist monasteries, and monuments along the way, and spectacular Mountain View. This charming Langtang valley trek with Holy Gosaikunda Lake follows the river upstream through pine, bamboo, and rhododendron forests, ascending through beautiful yak pastures to arrive at the alpine meadows of Kyanjin Gompa where you will get an extraordinary Mountain View just a stone’s throw from the Tibetan Boarder. The Langtang Valley is easily accessible from Dhunche (district headquarters of Rasuwa) town and the National Park office, which is a day's drive from Kathmandu. The upper reaches of Langtang can be reached in four days of easy trekking; however, it is worthwhile to spend a few days around the forest at Ghoda Tabela to watch for the red panda. Once above Langtang village and the monastery at Kyangjin, Langtang are inhabited by people of Tibetan descent whereas the villagers of Dhunche, Bharkhu, and Syabru further down are home to the Tamangs of Nepal's middle hills. Trekkers can explore the high valley of Langshisa, Kyamjin Ri and Chhirku Ri.

The forest around Ghode Tabela in the below Langtang Valley and lower the Gosaikunda Lakes are inhabited by the very shy red panda, a rare and endangered symbol of a healthy Himalayan ecosystem. Other animals, common to these forests are yellow-throated martens, wild boar, Himalayan black bear, Ghorel (Mountain Goat), grey langur monkeys, and leopards. The region is also home to Himalayan honeyguides, mountain pheasant, musk deer, and snow leopards. The upper Langtang Valley is one of the few known breeding grounds of the ibis bills besides the Tibetan snow cock and snow partridge. Like other Himalayan nature parks, Langtang has to be explored on foot. There are several possible trails to choose from depending on your favorite and the time available. Kindly write us for your customized trip itinerary, price, and trek map.

• Discover the Tibetan culture and Tibetan mountain views with amazing glaciers and monasteries. 
• Visit typical Tamang villages and their traditional cultures, but also the Langtang National Park and its wildlife, rhododendron forests, and nice tea houses.

Welcome to Kathmandu. After you arrive at the airport, look out for the placard of Mountain Rock Treks. Next, you will be greeted by the representative of the Mountain Rock Treks, who will take you to your hotel in Thamel. After reaching the hotel, our representative will provide you with a short brief about the tour with the help of the map and itinerary.

After an early breakfast in Thamel, our journey starts with a short drive to Syabrubesi. The driving hours from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi are around 7-9 hours. There will be a few stops along the way, but not frequent, as you will travel by a local bus from Kathmandu. 

If you want, we can arrange a private jeep from Kathmandu toSyabrubesi, which provides a better and more comfortable journey with much more stops. While taking a road trip from Kathmandu, you will see beautiful scenery like terraced fields, typical Nepali villages, etc. The route up to Trishuli Bazaar will be smooth, so there will not be much trouble. But the road becomes more rugged as you reach  Dhuncheand then to Syabrubesi. Overnight will be at one of the tea houses of Syabrubesi.   

Our official trekking starts from Syabrubesi on the 3rd day of our journey. You will begin from Syabrubesi and pass through the Bhote Kosi to the Langtang River, following the  Langtang River. Likewise, you will walk past the green jungle and terraced fields.

En route to Lama Hotel village, you will encounter many rural settlements, birch forests, bamboo forests, and more. Here you may see rare animals and birds, including the most engaged ones, like a red panda. Overnight will be at Lama Hotel. 

Today our destination is Langtang Village. And to reach our destination, we wake up early, have breakfast, and start our trek alongside the Langtang River first with a short ascend through the dense forests. As we trek, many beautiful vistas, like peak rising above 7000m and 8000m, greets us. We continue to trek until we reach the valley that widens out at places called Ghoda Tabela. We will stop here at Ghoda Tabela army, check the post, and register our papers to ascend further. 

From here, we will trek towards the east side of the river where Langtang Valley is located. We continued to trek through the prayer wheels and flags until we reached the Langtang village mainly inhabited by the theTamangas. Overnight will be at one of the tea houses of Langtang village.

Moreover, on a trek, we will encounter many tributaries and a glacial moraine accompanied by the peak's view en route. After around 3 hours of trekking from the Langtang Valley, we finally arrived at Kyanjin Gompa. Kyanjin Gompa was one of the largest settlements named after the ancient monastery.

We will send one extra night to Kyanjin Gompa for acclimatization. During your stay in Kyanjin Gompa, you will see Langtang Lirung Glacier looming close to the village, which is surrounded by the peaks like Langtang Yubra, Langtang Lirung, and Mt Changbu.

According to our map and itinerary, Chorkari ri is scheduled today, so we start trekking from the Kyanjin Gompa hike to Chorkari ri for a few hours and descend back to  Kyanjin Gompa for the evening. 

We have explored the upper Langtang Valley region. Now it's time to bid goodbye to the upper Langtang region and return to Lama Hotel. We will start our trek early in the morning and take on the same route we took before that takes us out of the Kyanjin Gomba village.  During our trek, we will pass the Langtang Village tho and take a short break at Ghora Tabela for our lunch. Here we again register our exit at the army check post and continue trekking further through the dense forests until we reach  Lama Hotel.

From the Lama Hotel, we will descend down to Thulo Syabru. We start our trek early, descend to the  Langtang Khola Banks, and cross the small waterfall. Today's trek will be easy, taking us through the bamboo forest and rhododendron forest path times with the wild lives and rare birds like monkeys and wild boar. Along the way, you can also see the Ganesh Himal at 7,422 m (24,350 ft). We will cross the suspension bridge leading to the Thule Syabru village's bottom as we reach our destination.  

Our today's destination is Sing Gompa. We will wake up early and climb gradually upwards until we reach Langtang National Park's army checkpoint. From here, we will continue to trek for another 30 minutes and reach Daragang. 

The trails from Daragang get less steep for treks and allying trees to navigate the route easily through the hemlock and oak forest. Rare and endangered wild animals like red pandas and more mainly inhabit this forest. Therefore there is an excellent chance of encountering such wildlife during your trek. We continue further and reach  Sing Gompa via the Dhimsa. If you want, you can trek further and stop at Cholangpati. But as per our itinerary, our overnight stay will be at one of the tea houses in Sing Gompa.

Today is the day when we will finally visit Gosaikunda Lake. We start our trek early and climb upwards with the backdrop view of the  Langtang Himal (7234 m). We will continue to trek towards the desolate, barren mountain trail now, and the views will improve due to all the Langtang Himalayan ranges in front of us. 

We will continue to climb further, and famous peaks like Ganesh Himal, Langtang Himal, and even the Annapurnas will greet us with clear views if we travel in the autumn and spring months. After a few hours of trekking, we will arrive at Laure Binayak, where we will make a short stop to refill our energies with food and snacks. 

From here, we continue to trek up toward Gosainkunda Lake. It will take 2 hours from Laure Binayak to reach Gosainkunda Lake. During our 2-hour hiking and climbing, we will pass through the chortens, which marks the closeness of the Gosainkunda Lake. We will finally reach the lake and see the views and the lake with its Kundas like Saraswati Kunda and Bhairav Kunda which are formed from the Gosainkunda Lake. This lake holds great religious significance in Hinduism and due to this many devotees visit this place in the fall season to celebrate the Hindu festival.   

Day 11:Cross over the Laurebina pass and descend to Ghopte

Today our map and itinerary take us to the Laurebina La High Pass,  which I also know is one of the high passes located at (4,610m / 15,115ft). Our trek starts early with a delicious breakfast. We will now take a path from Gosainkunda Lake that takes us down to the lake from the lodge we stayed at. We continue to trek towards the northern shores, where the routes get steep as we will soon be arriving at Laurebina La Pass; however, before we reach age, we must first hike through three or more three small lakes en route.

The Laurebina La Pass is mainly characterized by its stone stupa and many prayer flags hanging around. From Laurebina La Pass, we will make a decent hike to a wide valley where High Camp (4240 m) is located. Continuing to trek, we will hike through the steeper and rocky path leading to the Phedi. From Phedi, we descend to the footbridge across a stream. Today's trek will be long, so be prepared to take the challenges and rocky path to Ghopte. Overnight will be at one of the tea houses of Ghopte. 

We trek through enchanting juniper, rhododendron, and pine tree groves in a secluded and sparsely populated region. Today's journey from Ghopte takes us to the serene and picturesque highland destination of Tharepati. From Tharepati, the trail gently descends amidst the forest on the western ridge slope. After hiking for a while, we come across a vast meadow adorned with remnants of shepherd's huts. 

From this vantage point, one can marvel at the majestic peaks of Gangchempo and Dorje Lakpa. Continuing our descent, the path becomes steeper, leading us through a dense forest until we reach Magin Goth (3265m). Following a brief walk, we pass Kuala Bhanjyang (3335m) and descend further to the village of Kutumsang (2470m).

Day 13: Trek from Kutumsang to Chisopani  

After a night at Kutumsang, we will ascend and descend to Gul Bhanjyang village, located at (2140m). Likewise, we continue to trek and do a short climb, which leads us to the wide dusty road at Thorong Danda. From here, we again hike for some time and pass through the rocky path leading us to the Chipping village. 

From Chipping village, we descend and reach the Pati Bhanjyang (1760m). Pati Bhanjyang is a village located between Chipping and Chisopani. We can stop for a  few minutes here and continue trekking until we reach the Chisopani. This village is mainly famous for the peak of the mountain. Overnight will be at one of the tea houses of Chisopani. 

Day 14: Trek from Chisapani to SundariJal and drive by car to Kathmandu .

After exploring Chisopani village and beyond, we will arrive at the checkpoint of Shivapuri National Park. At this point, we take on a broad road that descends the hill before ascending again on a paved pathway. We will pass several water reservoirs and sizable water pipes until we finally reach Sundarijal (1460m) and then to Kathmandu by private car.

As of April 1, 2023, a new rule requires that visitors to any trekking spots in Nepal must hire at least one guide. This regulation aims to enhance safety and security for tourists, addressing the rising concerns regarding tourists going missing or requiring rescue. Guides help you explain more about the region, help in securing lodges, and hotels, and can even help you get helicopter rescue.

In the case of porters, although hiring them is not compulsory it is recommended. The porters carry heavy loads and have access to yaks, mules, and other animals to carry heavy loads of entire groups. They are also familiar with the local area and will help you in case of any type of emergency.

Can your guides speak English?

Our guides speak English fluently to ensure effective communication throughout your journey. They will share intriguing stories, traditions, and folklore of the mountains, making your experience more enriching. Furthermore, they will help you converse with locals as most shopkeepers and teahouse hosts may not be able to speak English.

Can I get an arrival visa in Nepal?

For any foreign nationals, you must apply for a visa to enter Nepal. Citizens from many countries listed on the Nepal Tourism Board can also get their visas on arrival. You just have to fill up the Nepal Visa application form at the Nepal immigration website.

To get your application verified you must submit certain documents like your original passport and at least one passport-size photo. Now pay the visa charge fee listed below and within a few hours your Nepal visa will be on your hand.

• Visa fee for up to 15 Days: USD 30
• Visa fee for up to 30 Days: USD 50
• Visa fee for up to 90 Days: USD 125

Do I need to add extra days as delays while booking to/from Nepal?

It’s always wise to add a day or two before and after your intended trek to cover the possibility of delays. Sometimes an unforeseen situation arises like flight delays and cancellations so it is wise to cover those days by booking a couple of days early.

The extra days or time will also give you time to purchase any necessary clothing. Gears or equipment if you need it. You must also keep in mind that Hillary Steps Treks is not responsible for missed international flights or delays.

Which is the best season for trekking in Nepal?

The best season for trekking in Nepal is generally a debate between Autumn or Spring. The months of September to November fall under the autumn season and the months between March to May fall under the Spring Season. During these two seasons, the temperature and weather are moderate to trek and there is less chance of rainfall and snowfall.

In certain Himalayan areas, the Winter season is also considered optimal for trekking. During the winter season, the temperature drops considerably below freezing point and there are chances of regular snowfall and snowstorms. Monsoon season is the worst of all the seasons because of continuous rainfall.

Do I need any kind of experience to trek in Nepal?

Trekking in Nepal presents challenges, yet it is not impossible. The difficulty of treks varies based on the region and the type of trekking you choose. While prior experience can enhance your adventure, it is not essential.

In recent times you must hire at least one authorized guide with you. These guides will help you in any kind of emergency or medical help. You can also hire porters from the local area to make your experience even more enjoyable and distribute your burden. With the assistance of guides and porters, completing a trek in Nepal is easily achievable even without prior experience.

Do I need permits for trekking in Nepal?

Yes, You need some important permits for any kind of trekking in Nepal. First of all, you need the TIMS Card which is also known as the Trekkers Information Management System which records all the data of the trekkers and tourists visiting the country. This card is mandatory for any type of trekkers who want to trek in any region of Nepal.

If you’re planning to trek in a conservation area, you’ll need a permit for that area. For example, if you are trekking the Everest region you must issue a Sagarmatha National Park permit and if you are visiting the Annapurna region then you need Annapurna Conservation Area Permit. There are few other trekking permits for other trekking regions in Nepal.

Can I withdraw or exchange money during the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek?

In Syabrubesi, you can withdraw money from an ATM. However, we suggest you carry cash from Kathmandu for your extra expenses.

What is the Luggage limit for Porter to carry?

Gosaikunda Trek Route, Map & Itinerary

Nepal Itinerary , Trekking in Nepal / March 9, 2023 by fulltimeexplorer / 5 Comments

The Gosaikunda trek is a popular pilgrimage for locals as well as a popular trekking route for tourists. The area has a lot of importance in both Hinduism and Buddhism making it a wonderful cultural experience. Depending on the Gosaikunda trek route, this trek can take between 6 to 9 days including transportation to the start and end point. Here’s everything you need to know about the Gosaikunda trek route.

Gosaikunda Trek Map

Note: This map should not be used for navigational purposes. It is just meant to give an idea of the route and is not perfectly to scale. Download maps.me on your phone for an accurate offline map that is free to use.

Gosaikunda Trek Overview

Trek duration.

The Gosaikunda Trek route by itself takes at least 6 days to complete including the two days of driving to and from the starting point. However, this trek is often added on to other treks like the Langtang Valley Trek or the Helambu Trek . We combined it with Helambu which made it an 8 day trek, and we didn’t have to walk back the same direction we came. That being said, this overview will only cover the 6 day Gosaikunda Trek. There will be a separate blog post for Helambu

Gosaikunda Trek Difficulty Level

Very Difficult – I found this to be one of the most difficult treks we’ve ever done. Don’t let the lower altitude and short schedule fool you. The first day is a minimum of five hours going up a steep staircase. The second day has a major increase in altitude which can cause altitude sickness. Overall, this trek is more difficult than others.

Required Permits

A Langtang National Park permit is required. It can be purchased in advance in Kathmandu for 3,000 rupees (about $26 USD). Check times for the Nepal Tourism Board office as the Langtang desk closes before the other permit desks each day. You can also buy one on the way to Dhunche at the park entrance.

Kathmandu to Gosaikunda

To get from Kathmandu to Gosaikunda, you’ll need to take a vehicle (either a private vehicle or a bus) to Dhunche. From here, it’s a two to three day walk to Gosaikunda. If you are in a time crunch, you can hire a helicopter and visit the lake and return in one day.

Trek History

Although no teahouses or homes existed in Gosaikunda until 1985, the area has an ancient history. Depending on if someone is Buddhist or Hindu, the stories will differ.

Buddhist believe that the lake is famous because Guru Rinpoche (the founder of Tibetan Buddhism) meditated here around 600 years ago. Many followers come to walk in his path as a pilgrimage. It’s believed by some that meditating where Guru Rinpoche meditated enhances the experience and may lead them to enlightenment.

I tried to gather more information on Buddhist beliefs from the teahouse owners, but sadly they didn’t know any of the history. They did mention the Palace of the Goddess Remati or the Palace of Chakrasamvara, however, they couldn’t explain why the area was referred to as that, and I wasn’t able to find any further information explaining those names. If you know more, please leave a comment so I can update this to be more accurate.

The significance according to Hindus is clear. I’ll try to explain it in the simplest terms for those not familiar with Hindu mythology. It’s believed that demons tried to poison the world with a churning ocean. The only way to save heaven, hell, earth, and all of life was for Lord Shiva to drink the poison. After drinking it, he used his trident to create three lakes. He drank from Gosaikunda to quench his thirst. For this reason, the water is believed to have healing properties. Many come to collect the water to use in puja (religious ceremonies) while others swim in the water to heal their bodies.

Best Time to do the Gosaikunda Trek

The best time to trek anywhere in Nepal is October and November because the visibility and weather is the best. The second best time to trek is usually March and April but in the last few years the views have not been as good.

If you want a unique experience, you can go in August. August is much more dangerous because of the monsoon (so I don’t recommend it), however, it’s the Janai Purnima festival when thousands of pilgrims climb to Gosaikunda.

Gosaikunda Weather

Weather in the mountains changes frequently. There’s even a joke in Nepal that if you don’t like the weather in the mountains, wait five minutes. Weather conditions are best in October and November. Although it’s cold, it’s the safest time to visit with the best views.

Gosaikunda Altitude / Height

4,380 m (14,370 feet)

Gosaikunda Trail Info

The Gosaikunda trek route is typically a well laid staircase going uphill. In some areas, it’s a dirt path. Towards the end, the trek is not steep, but it does go consistently uphill with almost no downhill. On the way back, you’ll go completely downhill with a lot of time spent going down stairs. Overall, this trail is well maintained due to the many pilgrims who follow it.

Navigating the Gosaikunda Trek

Navigating this trek is extremely easy as the Gosaikunda trek route is a well traveled trail. I always recommend downloading maps.me before leaving. This is a free app with the trail that can be used offline (as long as you download the area map in advance). If you do get confused, you can easily navigate your way back to the trail using maps.me.

Packing List

I have a separate post for my packing list as it was too much to include here. Read this blog post for a list of everything I carried with me…

Gosaikunda Lake Trek Packing List

I’ve written an entire post breaking down what we spent on the trek. You can read it here…

Gosaikunda Trekking Cost

Gosaikunda Trek Route Options

Gosaikunda trek 6 days.

This is the standard route; however, it is difficult with high altitude increases. Also, you skip sleeping in Laurebina which was the most beautiful village on the Gosaikunda trek route in my opinion. I was sad we didn’t stay there overnight.

Day 1 – Kathmandu to Dhunche by Jeep (5.5 hour drive)

Day 2 – Dhunche to Chandanbari (5 hour walk)

Day 3 – Chandanbari to Gosaikunda (4.5 hour walk)

Day 4 – Gosaikunda to Chandanbari (5 hour walk)

Day 5 – Chandanbari to Dhunche (6 hour walk)

Day 6 – Dhunche to Kathmandu (5.5 hour drive)

Gosaikunda Trek 7 Days

This itinerary adds a night in Laurebina which has the best views of the entire trek. It also gives you time to acclimate to the altitude. We were on a time crunch and couldn’t follow this itinerary, but I was jealous of those who spent a night in Laurebina.

Day 2 – Dhunche to Chandanbari (5 hours walk)

Day 3 – Chandanbari to Laurebina (2.5 hour walk)

Day 4 – Laurebina to Gosaikunda (3 hour walk)

Day 5 – Gosaikunda to Chandanbari (5 hour walk)

Day 6 – Chandanbari to Dhunche (6 hour walk)

Day 7 – Dhunche to Kathmandu (5.5 hour drive)

Gosaikunda & Helambu via Sermatang (8 day itinerary)

Gosaikunda & Helambu via Chisapani (8 day itinerary)

Detailed Gosaikunda Trek Itinerary Breakdown (6 days)

Day 1 – kathmandu to dhunche.

Kathmandu Altitude:    1,400 m (4,593 ft)

Dhunche Altitude:   1,960 m (6,430 ft)

Daily Altitude Increase:   560 m (1,840 ft)

Oxygen Concentration:  80% compared to 100% at sea level

Driving Time:   5.5 hours

Tea house:  Namaste Gosaikunda Hotel & Lodge

Daily Details:  

There are two routes to get to Dhunche. We took the route via Tokha since we had hired a private jeep. Along the way, we got to see amazing views of Ganesh Himal and Langtang. We stopped for lunch at Kerung Highway Resort. We also stopped there when we did Langtang last year.

The road is bumpy in some sections with lots of cut back and hairpin turns. I highly recommend a jeep with four wheel drive as we’ve seen many buses and jeeps get stuck during our travels in Nepal. If you get motion sickness, you may want to take medicine in advance because of the sharp turns and speed.

Along the route, you need to go through several police checkpoints as the Tibetan border is nearby. Make sure to have a copy of your passport somewhere easy to reach. Do not put it in your luggage as you’ll need to show it at every stop. Drones are not allowed in the area. They will check your bags and will confiscate them.

Day 2 – Dhunche to Chandanbari (Sing Gompa)

Chandanbari Altitude:    3,330 m (10,925 ft)

Daily Altitude Increase:   1,370 m (4,495 ft)

Oxygen Concentration:  68% compared to 100% at sea level

Walking Time:   4 hours and 45 minutes walking time (not including lunch or tea breaks). We took two tea breaks which were a half hour each. We also took a 45 minute lunch break. The total travel time was 6 hours and 30 minutes.

Distance:   7.4 km (4.6 miles) walking distance

Difficulty Level:  Very Difficult

Tea house:  Buddha Guest House or Red Panda Inn

Daily Details:   The first day of walking is extremely difficult because it is almost entirely uphill. The day starts off by following a dirt road through town for about 30 minutes. After that, it’s a short walk in the jungle along the river for 20 minutes followed by a steep uphill climb for almost an hour.

We decided to take a long tea break after the uphill climb at Srijana Hotel & Lodge for 30 minutes. From there it’s another hour straight uphill with no flat areas for an hour. We had lunch at Deurali Hotel & Lodge which took 45 minutes. Often, the teahouses cook items from scratch, so it can sometimes take over an hour for lunch. If you have a porter, you can send them ahead with your lunch order to save time.

After lunch, it’s yet another 45 minutes of climbing uphill. Here you’ll reach a small viewpoint. From the viewpoint, you’ll go uphill until you arrive in Dhimsa. This section is not as steep as the previous portions, but it is still uphill. We stopped for another tea break in Dhimsa because I was exhausted. The last section from Dhimsa to Chandanbari is also uphill, but it’s not nearly as bad as the first half of the day.

Overall, this is one of the hardest days of trekking I’ve ever completed. I was so tired at the end that I crashed into the bed. We had originally planned to walk to Laurebina, but there was no way we would have made it there.

Pro Tip:  Do training in advance by using a stair stepper or going up and down a set of stairs at least 20 times a day.

Day 3 – Chandanbari to Gosaikunda

Gosaikunda Altitude:   4,380m (14,370 ft)

Daily Altitude Increase:   1,050 m (3,445ft)

Oxygen Concentration:  60% compared to 100% at sea level

Walking Time:  5 hours and 15 minutes walking time (not including lunch or tea breaks). We stopped for a 40 minute tea break and a 40 minute lunch break along the way. Our total travel time was 6 hours and 35 minutes.

Distance:   9 km (5.6 miles) walking distance

Difficulty Level:  Difficult

Tea house:  Namaste Guest House

Daily Details:

The day starts with a beautiful path that wraps around the hills in the sunshine. It’s fairly flat with some steady but not steep uphill sections. Make sure to look behind you once in a while as the views behind you are beautiful on a clear day.

After a little over an hour, the trail turns into a pine forest. Through the trees on the left, you get glimpses of the Himalaya mountains. There’s an uphill climb through the woods, but it’s not as bad as day one. The views are stunning and it makes the trek worth every step.

After 25 minutes, you’ll reach Cholangpati for tea. We stopped at Hotel Langtang Lirung View for 30 minutes to take in the views and enjoy the fresh morning air.

From here, the path goes uphill the rest of the way until you reach Laurebina. This takes about an hour, but the views are indescribably beautiful. We probably stopped to take photos every 100 feet. This section is, in my opinion, the best part of the trek, so enjoy it and don’t rush too much.

We had lunch in Laurebina at the Mountain View Rest House so that we could enjoy the epic views. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many mountains this close up. Usually, you only see one major mountain at a time which makes this place special. I wish we had added an extra day to stay here like many of the other travelers did.

It takes us about an hour and fifteen minutes to get to the top of the hill above Laurebina. Other people breezed past us, but I was struggling with the altitude increase and my body hurt from the steep climb the day before. We also stopped for a lot of photos while tour groups seemed on a mission to get to the top as fast as possible. At the top, there’s a nice area to sit with a small Buddha statue and prayer flags dancing in the wind.

The next section runs along the cliffs. There are some steep uphill areas mixed in but nothing too bad. It feels much worse because of the altitude. Unfortunately, I was struggling at this point. I tend to hit a wall after so many hours of walking. I now know this is because I have Fibromyalgia, but I basically get so exhausted that I can’t cope. During the walk along the cliffs, my whole body ached. It took us about two and a half hours, but it took most people two hours to get to Gosaikunda from Laurebina.

Gosaikunda is a tiny village with views of a few different lakes. We arrived around 3:15pm after walking slowly, stopping for photos, and struggling with the fast increase in altitude. Once we arrived, we did an acclimation hike nearby to help us adjust to the altitude. We also decided to take altitude medicine. We almost never take Diamox, but the altitude increase on this trek is fast. If you stay in Laurebina you may not need medicine. Make sure to ask a doctor before using it as there are side effects.

Pro Tip:  Leave early so that you can get to Laurebina early enough to enjoy the clear skies. Clouds tend to roll in around 10:30am in the mountains. If you can, add a night to your itinerary to sleep in Laurebina because it’s the most beautiful part of the trek.

Day 4 – Gosaikunda to Chandanbari

Daily Altitude Decrease:   1,050 m (3,445ft)

Walking Time:  5 hours (not including lunch or tea breaks)

Distance:  9 km (5.6 miles) walking distance

Difficulty Level:  Moderate

We decided to add the Helambu Trek onto our itinerary on the way down, so we went back in a different direction, but I’ll write a separate post about that. If you do the Gosaikunda trek route by itself, you will head back to Chandanbari the same way you came. It takes about 5 hours to walk back. There are some steep downhill sections so you may want to bring trekking poles for support of your back and knees.

Day 5 – Chandanbari to Dhunche

Daily Altitude Decrease:   1,370 m (4,495 ft)

Walking Time:   6 hours (not including lunch or tea breaks)

From Chandanbari to Dhunche is about 6 hours depending on how easily you can go downhill. Be sure to bring any back or knee support you may need. This day is just walking down stairs for hours which can be rough on your knees. I recommend taking trekking poles so you can use your arms more and take pressure off your legs. If you’re young and fit you can probably jog down this no problem, but those over 40 years old or anyone with an old injury or knee issues will probably need to go a little slower.

Day 6 – Dhunche to Kathmandu by Jeep

Daily Altitude Decrease:   560 m (1,840 ft)

Oxygen Concentration:  85% compared to 100% at sea level

This drive is the same one as the way there. I recommend leaving early to avoid traffic and hiring a private jeep which is typically safer and more relaxing than the bus. It takes about 5.5 hours to get back to Kathmandu.

As a Buddhist believer, of course I have to challenge Gosaikunda trekking, thanks for your map, I think it is a must-do adventure in my life!

March 11, 2023 at 1:28 pm

Enjoy! It’s really a lovely trek with so much meaning. I’d recommend going to Helambu on the way down as that is the trail Guru Rinpoche followed and many sites can be visited along the route.

Langtang & Gosainkund Trek | 17 Days

Ratings 

• Dates & Price

Trip Description

The Langtang and Gosainkund trek is a combination of two short trek, Langtang-a beautiful valley on the lap of Himalaya & Gosainkund- a sacred lake located in the high plateau of Langtang National Park. The national park was established in 1976 as Nepal's first Himalayan national park.

The Gosainkunda Lake is located at an elevation of 4,300 m (14,100 ft) and one of the religious site for all hindus. Hindu mythology attributes Gosaikunda as the abode of the Hindu deities Shiva and Gauri & Its waters are considered holy. Thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India visit the Gosainkund Lake during Dashahara and Janai Purnima. Gosaikunda is believed to have been created by Lord Shiva when he thrust his Trishul (holy Trident) into a mountain to extract water so that he could cool his stinging throat after he had swallowed poison.

The route goes through the most affected village of Langtang by the earthquake of 2015 and anyone participating on this trek will support the needed community. The village is rebuilt and has started welcoming tourist from their heart.

Upon arrival, you will spend 2 nights in Kathmandu, exploring UNESCO heritage sites before heading to Syaphrubensi by 4WD. The trekkers pass through Sherpa villages to reach Langtang valley going through amazing views of rushing rivers, beautiful cedar forests and flowers, high alpine meadows, yak pastures, jaw dropping views of soaring Himalayan peaks including the mighty Shishapangma, Manaslu Massif, Ganesh Himal, Langtang and Jugal Himal. The village of Kyanjin Gompa is the last village in the langtang park where we spend 2 nights to explore around and summit the Tsergo Ri peak (4984m), surrounded by snow peaks on all sides. After a brief backtracking till Pairo, we start ascending through Syabru and Sing Gompa to the high plateau, where the sacred lake of Gosainkund is located. Crossing the Laurebena Pass (4,610 m) is another highlight of our Langtang Gosainkund trek and proceed south, leaving the Langtang area behind as we trek through the scenic Helambu Valley to Sundarijal before driving back to Kathmandu.

The two weeks Lantgtang and Gosainkund trek is an alternative trekking package of Everest Base Camp trek and Annapurna Circuit trek .

Is this the right trip for you?

• This is amazingly 17 days holidays passes through high pass of Laurebena (4,610 m). If the weather is bad and snowed a lot, we have to make an alternative route. If you are happy with this then Langtang and Gosainkunda trek is the right trip for you.
• We have to trek from 2000m to 4600m between 5-8 hrs a day in a different weather conditions. If this is not a problem, then this is the right trip for you.
• Accommodation and foods are more basic then established route like Everest base camp or Annapurna Base camp. Some places you’ll use a simple bucket shower and toilets are in local squat style and shared. If you do not have problem with this then this is the right trip for you.
• Langtang and Gosainkund trek is much quieter than popular trail like Everest Base Camp. It is more authentic with amazing Sherpa culture. If you are looking for such a place then it is the right trip for you.
• During the earthquake of 2015, the langtang valley was totally swept away from landslide and many villagers have lost their property and loved ones. After the support from national and international supporter, people have rebuild their house and hotels. If you want to support the community doing trek in this area, then this is the right trek for you.

TTG, namely the guider Arjun, managed everything with international quality and best knowledge of the local conditions. On trek I want to enjoy the nature, culture and people. I prefer to avoid arranging for accommodation, routes, meal etc. This has been managed by TTG and the guider. TTG helps just to enjoy what you plan before trek. Reliable and professional not only trek organizers, but also very friendly and helpful. Should you experience wonderful trek and safety return at home, turn to TTG.

Additional information.

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.

What makes this trip different ?

Trekking Team Group is the major supporter of Ambe Foundation, an apolitical and not-for-profit organisation. We contribute our support for the development of some community schools in remote villages in Nuwakot district. We have been supporting Gramin Devi School and Khumbeshwori School, both community-based educational institutions, through donation, sponsorship and partnership in various projects.

Trekking Team Group donates one percentage of its total business profits to the foundation on yearly basis. The donated amount supports the ongoing maintenance of Gramin Devi School and Khumbeshwori School in Nuwakot.

Sponsorship

One of the major activities of Ambe Foundation is the children sponsorship programme. It is conducted in full collaboration with Trekking Team Group.

Partnership (Volunteering Program)

The Ambe Volunteer Programme, organised by Ambe Foundation and Trekking Team Group, aims to mobilise teams of experts and interested individuals effectively for education, health and community development in Nuwakot district.

FAQs- Frequently Asked Questions

Trekking to a new place can always be nerve-wracking  disregard of the number of times you might have done it. Every place has its own culture, non-verbal norms and values, government policies and so on.

Having even the basic knowledge about the place can boost your confidence and give you a positive anticipation of the experience you can gain from the place.

If you are looking forward to trek in Nepal, this article will indeed be of great use to refer to. Answered below, are some of the most frequently asked questions about trekking in Nepal.

1. Is trekking difficult?

The difficulty level of the trek entirely depends upon the trek you chose.

If you happen to be trekking for the first time, or your physical condition does not permit you to (because of age or other medical conditions) you can always look for easy treks.

Easy treks have shorter number of days, less distance to be walked in a day, and relatively lower altitudes. You do not have to have prior experience or knowledge to trek to these places.

If you are adventurer and are looking for some thrill, you have plenty of options to choose from. Difficult treks have longer number of days. You will have to walk for 5-7hrs a day on an average and these treks are mostly situated in high altitudes. These treks also demand a good level of physical fitness.

Unlike other product, trekking is not about more for better. The difficulty level has got nothing to do with the experience you can gain from a trek.

Go for what you want to and what your physical ability will allow you to. Do not push yourself too hard. Trekking is not a competition. Its relaxation.

2. Is trekking expensive?

This entirely depends upon how much you are willing to spend on your trek. You can trek luxuriously by spending lavishly or you can backpack. It all depends upon how much your bank balance allows you to.

You will get accommodation for as less as 3-4$ per night, or you can pay up to 60-1004 per night for luxury resorts. On an average, you will need not more than 10$ for a meal. If you are looking for economical places, you can eat 3 meals for 10$! But eating at such places come at a great cost of low hygiene rate.

Bottom line: Nepal is not an expensive place when it comes to tourism. It is probably one of the places you can have the most economical luxury trek comparing to what a luxury trek would otherwise cost in your country!

3. What preparations should I make before trekking?

It is always a good idea to involve yourself in doing physical exercises before trekking. Not that you have to be all athletic and muscular to trek. An average level of physical fitness will make the journey less stressful.

Ending up with sore muscles, blisters, joint pain, and back pain can be very discomforting while trekking. This is unlikely to happen if you exercise beforehand.

Start exercising at least a month before the trek. You can do cardio exercises like running, jogging, long walks, cycling and swimming. Carry a light backpack along with you to get used to it. Gym work out can be a good option too. Just don’t over-do it.

If you are going on an easy trek, you need not be very physically fit. But prior exercising is still a good option. You will only make your journey more comfortable.

4. What are the things I need to pack?

There are a long list of things you will need for trekking. The things you carry can affect the entire experience of your journey. So make sure that while purchasing any gear, make no compromisation on the quality or the brand of the equipment.

To know about the things you require, refer to the following link-

http://www.thelongestwayhome.com/travel-resources/trekking/equipment-gear-needed-for-trekking-in-nepal.html

5. Do I need special permission to trek?

You will not need trekking permits in any of the treks in the Everest region, the Annapurna region and also in the Langtang region. But you will have to pay entry fees while entering a conservation area or a national park.

Trekking permits are a must for trekking in the restricted regions. The permits are available for purchase in the department of immigration located in Dillibazaar, Kathmandu. For further information, refer to-

http://www.taan.org.np/pages/trekking-permit-fees

6. Is drinking water easily available?

Availability of drinking water is not the problem. The problem is the cost of it at higher altitude. As you gain height, the price of water rises up to 2-3$ per liter.

An alternative way of getting drinking water is by having your water bottles filled in tea houses. Tea houses will provide you boiled water for about 0.4-0.7$ per liter. They are completely safe for drinking.

Therefore, do not forget to take at least two water bottles with you.

7. What kind of food is available during trekking?

Food is not of any concern while trekking. You will get all kinds of cuisines. For breakfast, tea houses will provide you with eggs cooked in your preferred style along with pan cakes, bread butter, roti, and so on.

Various other dishes like pizza, pasta, momo, chowmein and many more are also available. The most preferred dish is Dal Bhaat. It is a typical Nepali meal. Rice is served with vegetable curry, lentils, tomato chutney and meat curry. The best part- an extra helping will no cost you extra! The meal is highly nutritional. It will also keep you fueled for long walks.

8. What kind of accommodation should I expect?

Accommodation depends upon the type of trekking you are going for. There are two types of trekking

1. Tea house trekking:

You will be spending your night in tea houses. Tea houses are local lodges and hotels. They are small and comfortable enough. Most rooms are shared with two small cots that have mattress, pillows and sheets. If you need spare blankets, you can always ask for it. The rooms have attached bathroom, western flush designed and shower. You will have to pay for hot shower and electricity.

Dormitories are also available and a very low cost of about 3-4$ per night. These come with common toilets and bathrooms.

The cleanliness of the rooms may not live up to your expectations. Bring your own pillow if possible. Conjunctivitis is a common case you might fall sick of.

2. Camp treks:

In this type, you will spend your nights in tented camps. Such treks mostly lie in the restricted regions. These regions do not have enough facilities to accommodate many people.

9. What are the risks associated with trekking?

Trekking is an extreme sport and does come with a lot of risks. Some unavoidable risks are avalanche, heavy rainfall, earthquake, landslide and other such natural calamities.

You might fall and injure yourself or catch some viral flue. The deadliest risk of trekking is AMS or Acute Mountain Sickness. This sickness occurs when a great altitude is gained and the body fails to adjust to the changing pressures associated with it. Anyone can fall a victim of the sickness and if not treated in time, it can be fatal.

10. How to avoid Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)?

There is absolutely nothing you can do to prepare your body for altitude sickness. But yo can take few precautionary measures to avoid it. They are-

• Attain height gradually and slowly
• As you cross over 2000meters, reduce your number of walking hours and walk slow
• Drink plenty of water
• Take ample rest. Take more rest if you feel like your body is asking for it
• Eat high caloric food
• Avoid smoking or drinking

In order to detect AMS, you need to be aware of the symptoms of them. They are-

• Nausea and vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Upset stomach
• Feeling unsteady

• Do not climb any higher for the next 48 hours
• Descend to a lower altitude if possible
• Take complete rest until you feel well
• Do not exercise
• Do not smoke
• Take external oxygen supply if necessary
• Take anti-sickness medicines

If you see no further improvement in your heath within the next 48 hours, you will have to be deported to Kathmandu in a helicopter. Therefore, do not forget to issue and insurance that will cover you helicopter reuse cost.

12. Do I need a guide/porter to trek?

There is no such hard and fast rule that you must have one. But it is highly advisable to travel with them. Some of the treks cannot be trekked without a guide most of them are the restricted ones.

A guide is someone who will help you with navigations. He will also have a better idea about the places to live in and eat at can negotiated prices for you. They will also help you during medical emergencies.

A porter is someone who will carry your load for you so that you can enjoy long walks.

In case you hire them, you are entirely responsible for providing them with trekking gears, food and accommodation and other medical facilities.

13. Can I trek solo?

To some places, yes. But trekking solo in the restricted area is completely forbidden. You will have to trek in a group.

A lot of people trek solo in Nepal and have thoroughly enjoyed. Trekking solo has its own benefits. You will not have to adjust your schedule according to anyone. You can also follow your own route as you wish to. Also, finding your way, especially in the non-restricted regions, is very easy. The routes are well marked and pretty straight.

Nepal is completely safe for solo trekkers. But you will also have to be a little more careful while travelling alone.

14. What is the difference between trekking independently and trekking with an agency?

Trekking independently means trekking without an agency. You can hire a guide or a porter if you want to. You may also have a trekking partner. But the entire journey depends upon the way you want to take it.

In treks organized by agencies, they will have a well-planned schedule designed for you which you will have to strictly follow. Most of the times, you will be travelling with a group. The agency will also provide you with a guide and a porter. Trekking with an agency will be a little more expensive than trekking independently or solo.

15. Which is the best season to trek in Nepal?

Every season as its own charm. However, the best seasons are spring lasting from April to May and autumn lasting from September to November.

In these two season, Nepal sees the maximum number of tourists who come to trek. These are the busiest months of the year. The weather is highly pleasant and favorable for long walks. The trails are blossoming with fresh leaves and flowers. The clear skies allow you to get a great view of the magnificent Himalayas.

May 2019 Langtang Gosaikunda Trek

Gosaikunda has always been one of the places I adored and wanted to visit. But, work and personal issues always created a barrier. Finally on August,me and five of my friends decided to take the trip of a lifetime and indulge in the holy waters of Gosaikunda.

That’s when we called up Subash of Exciting Nepal Treks and put forward our trip ideas. He prepared an itinerary suitable for all of us. One thing I’d like to mention about him is that he’s extremely helpful and professional. With his generous help, we were off to Gosaikunda within a few days.

The place was truly magical. It was exactly how we expected it to be. The snow capped mountains, the icy cold lake everything was worth every penny we spent! Our guide Mr. Suraj was also the best guide we could have asked for. He is extremely friendly and explained to us patiently about everything around Gosaikunda.

All in all, the trip was truly a magnificent one thanks to Exciting Nepal Treks and Expedition, Subash, Suraj and everyone involved. It’s a definite 5 star for the services they provided!

Exciting Trekking to Langtang Region and Gosaikunda

Exciting Nepal is undoubtedly the best Trekking company in Nepal. I appreciate how they organized the Langtang Gosaikunda Trekking for me and my 3 other friends. When we started the research on this trek, we found very few information whatsoever. Initially we had decided to do this trek without engaging to any trekking companies in Nepal(budget of course). But one of my friends found Exciting Nepal.

Subash organized this trekking for us at a very reasonable price, and surprisingly every thing he mentioned came under our budget. He managed a brilliant guide for us. Basu (our guide), was the very best at what he does. He knows everything about trekking, what to do and what not to do. I was amazed seeing Basu manage pretty much everything we needed in a few minutes. Nepal is a beautiful country with incredible places and lovely people. I would gladly manage my time and come visit this country in the near future.

Last but not least, we are grateful to Exciting Nepal and team for managing this astounding trip for us. I cannot wait to work with you again.

Best time for Langtang Gosaikunda Trek

The best time for trekking in Nepal is either Spring (March, April, May) or Autumn (September, October, November) and Langtang Gosainkunda trek is no exception. These seasons are popular for trekking in Nepal because of its moderate and stable weather and temperature.

Spring is the perfect time for the trekkers and it is also a photographers paradise. The trekking trails, mountains, small settlements, yaks, landscape, everything seems beautiful and organic. It provides a beautiful background for your photo and selfie.

As it is the season of Rhododendron, you will see colorful Rhododendron flowers throughout the dense forest. If you are lucky enough you might also see Danphe and Red Panda.

(March to May) Spring season Langtang region. The average temperature around this region ranges from 18°C to 30°C. This temperature makes the trekking journey pleasant but temperature can go below and reach up to 6°C.

The chances of rainfall and snowfall are less in this season which allows you to see landscape and mountains more clearly. Spring in the Langtang region is beautiful and attracts thousands of trekkers due to which tea houses are also full.

Autumn is another popular season for trekking in Nepal. It starts in early September and ends in early December. Autumn is the best season to travel, it is neither too hot nor too cold. The weather is warm and stable with the perfect view of mountains and landscapes.

The average temperature during Autumn in Langtang Gosainkunda trek is usually 20°C to 28°C. At night the temperature usually falls and reaches up to 6°C to 10°C.

Autumn is the dry season so rainfall and humidity are low which gives you the majestic view of Himlayan ranges and sky. It is also the time for the festival in Gosainkunda where Hindu and Buddhist people perform their religious rituals.

Trekking is not only about reaching your destination and enjoying the journey but about meeting people too. You have a chance of meeting and interacting with people from different countries, social and economical backgrounds.

Learning the culture and tradition of local people is another major advantage of going trekking like this. You will learn new ways to see and analyze things. It will help you to broaden your mind and soul.

Pre-booking of tickets and food/accommodation is really important because this is the peak of the tourist season. If you do not pre-book, it would be difficult for you to get food and rooms of your choice.

Langtang Gosaikunda is also possible in Winter and Summer season but it may come with various difficulties throughout the journey. Rain and snow are the major challenges for traveling this season.

Both weather and temperature are unstable in this season, you have to be extra careful for this season. Your packing lists must be updated which increases the cost so Spring and Autumn is the best season to travel.

Food and Accommodation

The accommodation you will get varies from basic to standard during this entire Langtang Gosaikunda Trek. With the number of people and altitude of the place, the varieties in service change. You will only get really simple accommodation when you move to a higher altitude.

On your walk, there are no hotels or other luxurious places anywhere and the best accommodation that you will get in this trek makes you feel very simple as it is a very rural location.

The places at lower altitudes have decent accommodation compared with the places at higher altitudes. You will get decent twin-bedded quarters, queen bedrooms and a bathroom attached. There is typically a very slow wifi service and a moderate food selection. Not all rooms are fitted with all the amenities and thus you would have to pay extra for more facilities.

The toilets at the lower altitudes are toilets of the western model, but as you climb there is a greater chance of having a toilet of the squat kind. Carrying toilet paper on your own is also a smart idea because most of the places do not offer you the toilet papers.

Nearly all the tea houses have a showering room with hot water. You will have to pay extra but it costs around $4 per user , which is a fair price considering the heating effort needed. The water is still safe from the cold.

The rooms will decrease their facilities when you climb to higher altitudes, so will the range of food shifts. The only decent food on offer would be Nepali Dal Bhat and other local foods. There may be a handful of places selling western food but you will have to pay more. You are advised to eat Dal Bhat since it is really full and a healthy diet.

When you are going through the peak seasons, you will have to book ahead on your Langtang Gosainkunda trekking itinerary or they could run out of accommodation.

Before every trek, the most important question is, ‘How difficult is it?’ We would say to address this question that this trek is moderately difficult but that also depends on who is trekking and what time of the year.

The itinerary for the Langtang Gosaikunda trek is a lovely one. It takes about 2 weeks to complete it. It needs no prior experience but good endurance and strong mental strength. The difficulty depends on the path you take, but with some steep uphills and downhills, the common route is moderate.

It is a great trek for beginners, as it is not very challenging. Throughout your Langtang Gosaikunda trek, you can find just a few areas, some challenging slopes, and roads. Much of your Langtang Gosaikunda trekking itinerary involves simple walks with nice views.

Trekking along the Langtang Gosaikunda is a mid-hill trek. The trail is largely forested. And when you are trekking in a monsoon, you are more likely to get leech bites. For this reason, take table salt or insect repellents.

There are small paths at times. If you see the arrival of a caravan of yak, go to the safer side and wait for it to move. Chances are they will push you off the edge.

Altitude sickness is the most popular health problem you will encounter. Until climbing, we advise you to take the medicine to ease your trekking experience, as the symptoms can be very severe.

Experienced trekkers are prohibiting anyone from smelling flowers on the trail. They say the flowers can be toxic, although some locals even say it can cause altitude sickness if you smell flowers in there.

Langtang Helambu circuit

I am Iva from Slovenia, when my trip was in the planning stage I had to look for a Guide/Porter and looked thru the Internet for a tour agency. As soon as I saw Himals website www.nepalindependentguide.com I felt I found my team. There was something very appealing in the way who visit Nepal with him write very first-class, and he and I are so glad I decided to go with him. Since he also writes and speaks perfect English, it made it very easy to communicate and plan the trip.

I did the Helambu / Nagarkot trekking monsoon time. I can only very highly recommend him and should I am ever so lucky again to visit Nepal; it will be with him.

Comprehensive Langtang Gosainkunda Trek

Gosainkunda Langtang Trek  is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Langtang National Park. It's situated in the northeast part of central Nepal, close to Kathmandu. In fact, it is visible from Kathmandu Valley. 

This trek lets you experience deep gorges, rocky terrain, pine forests, yak pastures, insight into Buddhist religious practices, mystical monasteries, picturesque villages, hillside terraces, serene valleys, and   breathtaking glaciers originating from high mountains.  The trial also takes us to the sacred  Gosainkunda (4,380m / 14,620ft),  an  alpine freshwater lake high up in the mountains of the Rasuwa.

This trek begins with a drive along the  Trishuli River , which heads north from Kathmandu through  Trishuli Bazaar  and Dhunche and finally to Syabrubesi.

We start the trek from  Syabrubesi , a Tamang village by the banks of the Bhote Koshi River. The trek will follow the Langtang River until we reach Lama Hotel for the night. The next day we will trek from Lama Hotel to Langtang Village, a large Tamang settlement. From Langtang Village, we head to Kyangin Gompa. We will rest at Kyangin Gompa for a day to acclimatize. While acclimatizing, you will have the option to visit the yak cheese factory, Tserko Ri Viewpoint, and Kyangin Gompa monastery.

Then we return to the Lama Hotel then continue trekking in the beautiful Langtang Valley to reach Gosaikunda, a revered pilgrimage for Buddhists and Hindus. The waters of Gosaikunda Lake are believed to have magical healing powers. But to reach Gosaikunda we trek from Lama Hotel to Thulo Syabru, and from Thulo Syabru to Cholangpati and finally to Gosainkunda.

After Gosainkunda, our trek will take us through Laurebina La High Pass to Ghopte in the scenic Helambu region. From Ghopte, we descend to Kutumsang through rhododendron, pine, juniper forests, and peaceful meadows. The next day, we continue our descent to reach Chisapani via Pati Bhanjyang. On the last day of the trek, we trek from Chisapani to Sundarijal and catch a bus back to Kathmandu.

This package covers travel by public bus. However, if you seek comfort, you can book a jeep for an extra cost.

The next day, we will be traveling to our destination via the local bus. Your trek begins from Syabrubesi (Gateway to Langtang). We can either take a local bus for an eight to nine hours journey from the Langtang trek begins.

Local transportation (KTM to Syabrubesi and Sundari Jal - Kathmandu ) is included in the package. For comfort, you can book a private jeep for an extra cost.

Complimentary Airport Pickup

Discovery World Trekking provides free airport arrival and departure transfer on any flight for our valuable clients who have booked  the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek package . A company representative will be at the airport holding a pamphlet with your name on it. After welcoming you, they will present you either with a Khada or a Marigold garland and take you to your hotel in a private vehicle. 

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek Accommodation Details

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek  includes twelve nights of lodge-to-lodge stays at the best available lodges in trek regions. We provide six nights of accommodation in rooms with a private attached bathroom at Syabrubesi, Langtang Village, Kyanjin Gompa (2N) , Thulo Syabru, and Chisopani, and six nights of accommodations in standard rooms at Lama Hotel (2N),   Cholangpati, Gosainkunda lake, Ghopte, and Kutumsang.

For solo trekkers, we will arrange a single private room with an attached bathroom wherever available and a single private room in most places.

You may need two nights of hotel stay in Kathmandu before and after the trek, but it is not included in the package. Kathmandu has a wide range of hotels for all budgets and interests. 

Meals during the trek

Langtang Gosaikunda trek  takes you to high elevations. Hence your body requires enough nutritious food. We provide you with enough nutritious and tasty food in trek regions, but you will not get all the choices available in cities. We provide you  with 13 breakfasts, 13 lunches, and 12 dinners  during the trek. 

Some of the popular menu items are -

Thirteen breakfasts - Oatmeal, Corn Flakes, French toast with Jam, Butter, Cheese, Honey, Tibetan bread or Chapati, Local Tsampa porridge, Eggs, Pancakes, Muesli Breads, fruits, Vegetables, Hot Drinks (varieties of teas and coffees, hot chocolates, etc.)

Thirteen lunches - Dhal, Bhat, Tarkari, Tibetan Bread, Various Soups, Sherpa Stew, Steaks, Sandwiches, Momo (dumplings), Macaroni dishes, Tenduk, Spaghetti Noodles, Thukpa, Pasta, Vegetable curry, Potatoes, Vegetables, Salad Pizza (Tomato, Mushroom, Mixed), Snacks (Papad, Prawn), Desserts, (Rice Pudding, Apple pie), etc

Twelve Dinners - Dhal, Bhat, Tarkari, Tibetan Bread, Various Soups, Sherpa Stew, Steaks, Sandwiches, Momo (dumplings), Macaroni, Tenduk Spaghetti, Noodles Thukpa, Pasta, Vegetable Curry, Potato items, Vegetable and Salad Pizza (Tomato, Mushroom, Mixed), Snacks (Papad, Prawn), Korean Ramen, Desserts (Rice Pudding, Apple pie), Hard Drinks, Steaks, etc 

The menu offers traditional, Asian, and Western cuisine, but as we climb up, the menu gets shorter.

We highly recommend fresh vegetable items and plenty of liquids such as green tea, lemon tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, and garlic soup (must) at high altitudes. Though plenty of non-veg items are available in trek regions, we do not recommend any of them because the meat in these regions may not be hygienic and healthy. 

Similarly, we encourage you to avoid dairy, alcoholic, caffeinated, and hot chocolate items as experts suggest avoiding these items at high-elevation treks.

All personal bills (alcoholic, hot (tea/coffee), and cold drinks) in tea houses/ lodges except standard meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner with seasonal fruits) are excluded from the package.

Best time for Langtang Gosainkunda trek

The weather is the crucial factor to consider for a trek to  Langtang Gosaikunda . Spring and autumn are the best seasons for an easy trek with great mountain views. During winter, the trek regions are cold due to snowfall, while the summer monsoon makes the trails slippery and wet.

January – February

This is the coldest season, especially from early January to early February. There is heavy snowfall in the mountains as the temperature dips. Daytime will be warm and admirable with clear skies but, the night is cold. Trek will be a little challenging nevertheless, you will get magical views of snow-capped hills and mountains. 

March – April

It is one of the best times to trek to the Langtang and Gosaikunda. The weather is very favorable, and you can catch stunning views of the Langtang Lirung, Langtang II, and other mountains. Temperatures start increasing from mid-March , and many trekkers choose to trek to the Langtang Gosainkunda region during this time. The luscious green, dense bamboo, and birch forests add a new dimension to the whole trek experience.

This is also the perfect time for trekking, right before the monsoon. Rainfall in Nepal begins from the end of June till mid-August. The spring-summer season makes the trek much more enjoyable.

July – August

The rainfall hits its peak during this time, and you'll see clouds often. The trails will get a bit slippery but, trekking can still be fun due to the magnificent waterfalls, raging rivers, and frequent rainbows.

September – October

It is another perfect season for the Langtang Gosaikunda trek. As the monsoon slowly ends, a perfect trekking climate sets in. The temperature goes up to 20 degrees during the day and falls to 5 degrees at   night. Most trekkers enjoy trekking the most during these months as the skies are clear, allowing great views of the mountains. We  highly recommend  this time for the Langtang Valley trek, especially between mid to end of September. Nepal's two biggest festivals - Dashain and Tihar - also fall in these months.

November – December

The winter sets in, and snowfalls begin in the Langtang region, eventually making it challenging to trek. However, you can trek during November, thanks to the sparkling days. With clear skies, the mountains look stunning, but as December starts, the temperatures dip. The nights can get cold with temperatures as low as -5 degrees Celsius. 

The weather in the mountain region is unpredictable and changes quickly.

Acclimatization

Your 13-day Langtang Gosaikunda Trek  package spends two nights over 3500m, where there are chances of being affected by altitude sickness, also called acute mountain sickness. We will be  acclimatizing at Kyanjin Gompa . While acclimatizing in Kyanjin Gompa, we will explore various places like the Kyanjin Gompa monastery itself, the cheese factory, or a hike to the Tserko Ri Viewpoint.

Altitude sickness is common among trekkers, but serious altitude sickness requires immediate treatment, and you should not ignore it. Our trek leaders and guides have extensive first-aid training and are well-experienced. We urge you to inform your group leader and guide at the first signs and symptoms. 

Your trek leader or guide will suggest precautions against altitude sickness. The best way to prevent altitude sickness is to take your time while trekking and drink plenty of water (at least 4 liters per day). If altitude sickness is severe, the only cure is to descend immediately.

Please note that your group leader has the authority to stop your ascent based on your health condition. Please keep in mind that some persons are more vulnerable to altitude sickness than others.

Trip Grade: Fitness level and Health

The Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is easy and rewarding. The hiking duration will range from 3-6 hours a day, depending on the destination, taking regular breaks to admire the mountain views. The trek routes involve long climbs, steep descents, and steep forward trails in rocky paths and forests. So, the fitter you are, the more comfortable and enjoyable your journey will be. If you have trekking experience, it is advantageous but not required . We do not recommend this trek to those who suffer from sensitive medical conditions such as heart or lung disease.

A typical day on the Gosaikunda trek

Each day will bring a unique trek experience, as you enjoy the scenery, take photos, and explore the local villages. Our experienced and qualified guides will guide you to your destination. Porters will carry your luggage. However, you will need to bring with you a regular day pack to carry your essentials. 

The day starts with an early morning cup of tea. After a   wholesome breakfast , we set off on that day’s walk around 7 to 8 am, depending on the duration and nature of the walk. After trekking for 3 to 4 hours, we will serve you lunch often on the route to your next destination. 

The afternoon hike is generally shorter 2 to 3 hours. When you reach our overnight lodge, you can enjoy our extra dietary snacks, then explore the nearby places until it gets dark. We provide dinner between 6 to 7 pm. 

In the evening, before going to bed, we discuss each other's hiking experiences. Your guide will brief you about the next day's plan. After the trip briefing before going to bed, you can enjoy fun games like cards and Monopoly, watch mountaineering videos if possible, or just read books. Most of our valuable clients also love learning light Nepali words from our crews. 

Communication on Langtang Gosainkunda Trek

During the  Langtang Gosaikunda Trek,   internet service will be available at the lodges and comes with some extra service charge. At high altitudes, for safety purposes, we will communicate by phone. Our office will be in contact with all of our trek teams at least once a day through the lead guide to know about the team's condition. You can buy a local sim in Kathmandu but, the signals may not be strong enough. 

Most lodges/ tea houses have Wi-Fi access, which you can use for an extra charge.

Electricity and battery recharge, water on trekking

Throughout the lodges at Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, electricity for the camera and mobile battery recharge is available at an extra cost. During the trek, you can buy either packed mineral water from local lodges and en-route shops or fill your water bottle with boiled water at an extra cost. If you require, we can provide you with water purification pills.

We advise you against drinking water from rivers, taps, and wells in trek regions for hygiene concerns.

Extra personal expenses

This package does not include meals and accommodations in Kathmandu. In addition, all our valuable clients need to bring spending money for visa processing, travel insurance policy purchase, snacks for the trek, hot (tea/coffee), cold and alcoholic drinks, tips, souvenirs, etc. We recommend bringing cash (major currencies), which you can easily exchange for Nepali Rupees in Kathmandu. Trek regions only accept Nepalese currency.

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek Travel Insurance

Though the chances are slim, there are chances of high-altitude sickness and other high-altitude mishaps associated with this trek. So travel insurance is compulsory for this trek. You need to purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy that covers medical and emergency repatriation - including helicopter rescue and evacuation expenses at high altitudes.

We can recommend an insurance company for you based on our valuable client's experience but, we do not sell insurance policies.  

In case of an emergency, we forward your insurance details for processing to your insurance company to arrange rescue operations and transfer to the hospital for treatment. Please send us your insurance information details after booking the trek. 

Please call your insurance company and recheck if they cover helicopter rescue at the highest trek elevations in addition to medical treatment costs. Do not just rely on what the insurance companies say on their website.

Tourist Visa Nepal

All foreigners, except Indians, require a visa to enter Nepal. Visa is available on arrival at the Tribhuvan international airport. You can find the latest visa information at www.immigration.gov.np 

The visa application will require a passport with at least six months of validity and a passport-size photo. The current visa fee is USD 50 for 30 days , which you can pay in cash on arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport. 

Citizens of China and the SAARC countries will receive a free visa. Citizens from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Cameroon, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Palestine, and Afghanistan may not receive an on-arrival visa. If you are a citizen of these countries, contact your local Nepalese embassy.

Money exchange

Nepali Rupees (NPR/Rs) is the local currency.

(1 USD = ~ Rs.130 NPR).

You can exchange most foreign currencies through local banks and legitimate money exchanges in Kathmandu and all over Thamel. Legal money exchanges list the ongoing exchange rates visibly for the public. Please note that only INR (Indian Rupees) notes of 100 and 2,000 are legal in Nepal. 

Despite the traveler's cheque's security advantage, we recommend cash exchange - to avoid a lengthy process and high bank commission rates. You can withdraw cash (in Rupees only) from one of the many ATMs in Kathmandu and Thamel itself. Several of these ATMs are open around the clock. The maximum withdrawal amount is 35,000 Rupees for a 500 Rupees processing fee using a foreign card.

If you use money exchange facilities at banks and financial institutions, they will charge a service fee of four percent or more.

There are no banks and money exchange services in trek regions, so you should exchange money in Kathmandu based on personal expenses. In the Himalayan region, people only accept Nepali currency.

Most banks in Asia will not accept foreign currency notes that are old, torn, or faded. Please ensure that you have new, clean notes.

How Much Luggage Can I bring to the Langtang Gosainkunda Trek?

The luggage weight limit is  9 kg per trekker. Porters will carry your luggage. We assign one porter for every two trekkers, and the combined luggage should not weigh more than 18 kg. However, we expect you to carry your regular backpack for the valuables and important documents. 

We advise you to carry only the essentials. You can leave any excess baggage either at your hotel or at the Discovery World Trekking store for free.

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek Safety

Discovery World Trekking guarantees our valuable client's  safety and security.  We will be carrying all the necessary gear, equipment, and first aid kits for safety. Our trek leaders and guides have extensive first-aid training. While on the trek, the whole team will be together for safety. If a trekker falls sick due to the altitude, the trek leader has the authority to decide whether to continue the trek or descend based on the overall team condition.

In an emergency, a rescue helicopter will bring you back from the high elevation (funded by insurance). 

Responsible travel

We strongly believe we need to protect the trek regions from the potential negative effects of tourism. So, Discovery World Trekking works together with the Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (KEEP)  to   organize eco-friendly trips that are culturally rewarding and also meet the expectation of both the travelers and trek region communities.

Discovery World Trekking Crew

During the   trek , our local, licensed, and well-experienced guides/Sherpas accompany you to make your journey even more comfortable and memorable. We add an assistant guide for a group of 12 or more.

Porters will carry your luggage. If you need, we can arrange one porter per person. Please note that a porter will carry no more than 18 kg combined weight. Our crew members  are local people from the remote high Himalayas , so they are completely at ease at high altitudes. 

All our staff members are valuable to us, they are well-paid, and we take care of their insurance, clothing, food, and lodging throughout the hike. All our guides and porters receive medical care  when ill or injured. We always make sure that our staff members  are happy as we believe that only happy people can make others happy.  Our crew members have:

• Intensive Wilderness First Aid Training
• Government Authorized Trekking certificate

• Conservation and biodiversity training
• Rock climbing experience

Paul proved to be an exceptional companion throughout our trip! Planning our journey from Australia became effortless with Paul's expert advice. Collaboratively, we crafted an itinerary, and he efficiently handled all the arrangements, including travel, accommodation, food, and securing reliable porters. The services provided exceeded our expectations and were of top-notch quality.

Paul's dedication to ensuring our safety and support was remarkable. He discreetly checked on each member of our group, always making sure everyone was okay and content. 😊 Our unity as a team, including the porters, brought us immense joy. Paul's exemplary conduct served as an inspiring role model, and his Discovery World Trekking team delivered excellence in every aspect. Without DWT, our time in Nepal would not have been as extraordinary.

I opted for Paul Gurung and Discovery World Trekking for the Langtang Gosaikunda trek, having received recommendations through word of mouth. Paul's professionalism, understanding, and communication skills were exceptional. He possessed an extensive knowledge of the region and was well-acquainted with the local people. The porters and guides worked in perfect harmony, creating a joyful and cohesive team. Paul's flexibility with the itinerary was reassuring, and his competence was evident throughout the journey. I truly value the friendship that developed with Paul and consider it something to cherish. Not only was he an excellent guide, but also an exceptional photographer. The entire team provided a fantastic experience on the trek.

Based on my friend's recommendation, I decided to go with Discovery World Trekking for the Langtang Gosaikunda trek, and I must say, I was thoroughly satisfied with my experience. My guide was not only easy to get along with but also had an impeccable command of the English language. His knowledge of the landscape, towns, locals, and traditions was extensive, and he was always ready to answer any questions I had.

Throughout the trek, we maintained a comfortable pace, and he consistently managed to get us to our designated lunch or nightly stops close to his estimated time. The views during the trek were absolutely stunning, especially as I undertook it in March, when it was relatively peaceful and quiet, a feature I greatly appreciated. There were numerous opportunities for fantastic photographs, and my guide willingly accommodated all the photo breaks I needed. His expertise in photography was evident as he knew the best spots for capturing breathtaking views.

Moreover, my guide built strong connections with the locals and guest house owners, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere during our stops. Everyone we encountered along the trails was amicable and welcoming. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this trek to beginners and novices alike, as it was an unforgettable experience thanks to Discovery World Trekking.

During our Langtang and Gosaikunda trek with Discovery World Trekking, the scenery left me awe-struck, and I could easily fill pages describing its breathtaking beauty, especially when we reached the peaks above Gosaikunda. The entire trek was well-organized by DWT, and we encountered no issues along the way.

Paul's efficient planning and management made the trek a smooth experience (except for the physical challenge of walking up mountains). The guide and porters provided by DWT ensured we reached our destinations promptly, and we encountered no problems with accommodation or meals. Having our guide handle all the necessary arrangements made this aspect of the trek stress-free. Overall, we were extremely content with the trek, and when I return to Nepal in the future, DWT will be my first choice to contact. Thank you sincerely for the wonderful experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend Discovery World Trekking to anyone planning a trek in Nepal. Paul and his wonderful team offer a highly professional, caring, and informative experience. My family and friends had an authentic and stress-free adventure with the company, and we are especially grateful for the kindness and support they showed to family members who experienced some challenges with the altitude. It has left us with great memories to cherish.

Day trip to Suzdal from Moscow: transport, sights, maps and tips

 DAY TRIP TO SUZDAL

  Suzdal is one of the most popular destinations on the Golden Ring and the whole city is often described as an open-air museum.  The city has no railway station and practically no heavy industry, meaning that is has preserved its provincial charm and a great deal of architectural monuments.

  From Moscow, Suzdal is not as easy to get to as Sergiev Posad (the closest Golden Ring city to the capital) but it is worth going the extra distance as Suzdal provides more of a contrast from Moscow.  If you make use of high-speed trains it is possible and not too demanding to visit for even just a day, but of course spending the night there is recommended to soak in the atmosphere or to combine it with a visit to neighbouring Vladimir.  As the city is a very popular tourist destination you will have no problem finding a cafe or guesthouse there.  There is practically no public transport in the city, but the city is small and most sights are located relatively close to each other.

Getting There and Back

Via Vladimir

Direct to Suzdal

  Buses directly to Suzdal leave from Moscow’s Schyolkovsky Bus Station.  There are about 9 buses a day and it takes around 4½ hours depending on traffic.  The buses stop at Vladimir too.  Using this option will mean a rather exhausting day trip.

Orientation and Main Sights

  Suzdal is a relatively small city and it is not difficult to walk around the city to see most of the sights.  

  The main road in the city is Ulitsa Lenina which runs north across the whole city.  

  The main sights of Suzdal are located either on or just off this road, including the two main sights: the Suzdal Kremlin in the south and the Spaso-Yevfimiev Monastery in the north.

  More information about Suzdal can be found on our Suzdal  pages.

  Suzdal is famous for its medovukha (mead) which is an alcoholic drink made out of honey.  It can be drunk either hot or cold, meaning it perfect in both summer and winter, and you will find it on practically every menu in the city.  There are various flavours of the drink available and even a non-alcoholic version.  In addition to medovukha, you can find all traditional Russian souvenirs in the city and there is a big souvenir market on Torgovaya Ploschad.

Learn more about the map styles

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Physical 3D Map of Moscow).

Physical map

Physical map illustrates the mountains, lowlands, oceans, lakes and rivers and other physical landscape features of Moscow. Differences in land elevations relative to the sea level are represented by color.

Green color represents lower elevations, orange or brown indicate higher elevations, shades of grey are used for the highest mountain ranges in the world. Underwater topography is represented by blues. Darker blues are used for the deepest water, lighter shades of blue represent shallower water such as the continental shelf.

Plate Carree map projection

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This 3D map uses Plate Carree projection, a simple variant of the equidistant cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. The parallels and meridians are equally spaced, they together form equally sized squares over the entire world map.

Using simple grid, where each cell has the same size and shape, brings in significant benefits. For comparison, the detailed maps of Moscow use Mercator projection instead. The Mercator projection preserves the shapes and angles of small areas better, but on the other hand, it significantly distorts the size of areas.
