Dear all trekkers,
Namaste! A warm welcome to trekkers from all over the world. We invite you to trekking at Langtang, Gosaikunda region. Which is a true paradise for those who love high-altitude adventure, untouched nature, and the serene mountain environment.
About Langtang valley: The Langtang Valley Trek is often called the "hidden gem" of Nepal. It’s the closest Himalayan trekking region to Kathmandu, making it incredibly accessible, yet it remains significantly less crowded and less expensive than the Everest or Annapurna circuits.
Since the 2015 earthquake, the valley has seen a remarkable recovery. In 2026, it stands as a symbol of resilience, with newly built, earthquake-resistant teahouses and well-maintained trails that offer a mix of high-altitude drama and deep Tamang culture.
Cultural Immersion: Direct interaction with the Tamang and Bhotia communities, whose traditions are closely tied to Tibetan Buddhism.
Kyanjin Gompa: A spiritual hub at 3,870m with an 800-year-old monastery and a famous yak cheese factory.
About Gosaikunda: Gosaikunda is one of Nepal's most sacred pilgrimage sites. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva created the lake by striking his Trishul (trident) into the mountain to draw water to cool his throat after swallowing poison.
There are actually over a dozen lakes in the area, but Gosaikunda is the main attraction. Every August (during the Janai Purnima festival), thousands of pilgrims trek here to take a holy dip in the icy waters.
Wildlife: Located within Langtang National Park, you might spot red pandas, Himalayan Thar, Musk Deer or the colourful Danphe bird.
Highlights the journeys: This trek begins from Syabrubesi, at the end of the motor road. The trail follows the Langtang Khola (River) upstream all the way to Kyanjin Gompa. Along the route, there are several well-established teahouses and lodges available for overnight stays.
From Kyanjin Gompa, you can hike to the summit of Kyanjin Ri (4,773m.) for spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. You will then retrace your steps back down the valley until you reach Pahiro (near Bamboo). From there, take the left-hand trail climbing toward Thulo Syabru village to begin the Gosaikunda section of the trek.
Gosaikunda is one of the premier sites in Nepal for both natural beauty and mountain vistas. After exploring the sacred lakes, the trek continues over the Surya kunda Pass, descend through Dupi Chaur, Thadepati, Mangengoth, and Kutumsang. Finally, you will reach Chisapani before descending to Sundarijal, where you will catch a vehicle for the drive back to Kathmandu.
Please Note: "For a detailed look at the trail, including distances and elevations, please refer to the ''Day-by-Day Itinerary'' located at the bottom of this page."
Safety Note - Animal Caravans: In the Langtang region, you will frequently encounter caravans of Yaks, Jopkyos, and Mules transporting goods. If you hear bells ringing in the distance, start looking for a wide spot in the trail to step aside immediately. It’s much easier to find a safe spot early than to scramble when the caravan is right on top of you. Always move to the mountainside (the inner wall) of the trail and wait for the animals to pass. Never stand on the cliff-side edge.
Panorama: The Himalayan views are consistently breath-taking once you reach higher elevations. After passing through Ghora Tabela, the forest thins out, and the expansive mountain scenery begins to open up.
From Langtang Village, you will be treated to a giant, front-row view of Langtang Lirung (7,227m) towering directly before you. Throughout the trek, you will also encounter several other majestic Himalayan peaks under 8,000m, providing a constant and dramatic backdrop to your journey.
High-altitude sickness occurs when your body can’t get enough oxygen because the lower air pressure at higher elevation above 3,000m. when you ascend too quickly during the trek. At High elevation anyone at any time can be suffering from high-altitude sickness which is common, you don’t have to be nervous but please be attention.
Altitude Symptoms: If you feel symptoms of high- altitude (Headache, vomiting, loss your appetite, Dizziness and trouble falling asleep) stop to ascending immediately descend as possible. Eat enough garlic soup, take lots of hot drinks and rest. Next day you will feel better, if not your guide will look for another solution.
Emergency Helicopter Evacuation: Your safety is our absolute priority. In the event of serious illness or injury, our guides are trained to act immediately. They will maintain constant communication with our Kathmandu-based agency to coordinate a rapid response.
We can arrange an emergency helicopter evacuation from any point on the trail back to Kathmandu within a few hours (weather permitting). To ensure a smooth and life-saving rescue, we require all our guests to have travel insurance that specifically covers high-altitude helicopter rescue and medical evacuation. Our team will handle all the logistics with your insurance provider and the helicopter operators so that you can focus entirely on recovery.
Travel Insurance: Unfortunate illness or injury can happen to anyone, anywhere. In the remote mountain regions where we trek, your safety is paramount. Because ground transport to the nearest clinic can be slow, we rely on rapid aerial response.
• Action Required: We strongly advise you to issue a 'comprehensive travel insurance policy' from your home country or in Kathmandu. Your policy must specifically cover emergency helicopter evacuation and medical expenses at high altitudes (up to 6,000m.)
Pro Tip: Please Always carry a digital and printed copy of your insurance certificate and the 24-hour emergency contact number for your provider.
Spring (March – May): Trekking at Mt. Everest Khumbu region, one of the best times is spring for the spectacular clear views. The stable weather brings excellent visibility. In this season rare flowers like rhododendrons and other various wildflowers are found in full blossom in their brightest colours.

Winter (December – February) & Summer (June – August): These seasons present significant challenges for 'Langtang and Gosaikunda' trek. In winter, heavy snowfall frequently blocks the high Passes, making the crossing dangerous or impossible. During the summer monsoon, heavy rains result in poor visibility and the presence of leeches on the trails. More importantly, the risk of landslides increases, and rising river levels can wash out trekking paths or block the motor roads leading to the trailhead.
