Langtang Gosaikunda Trek Overview
The outstanding Langtang Gosaikunda Trek combines the beauty of peak sceneries and the happiness of meeting the Tamang and Sherpa communities, whose kindheartedness and generosity are very popular.
Snuggled at the lap of magnificent Ganesh Himal and Langtang Lirung ranges, to the north of Kathmandu, is a stunning, sheltered valley filled with nature’s reward - the Langtang National Park, which houses the pristine freshwater Gosaikunda Lake.
This park houses the red pandas, dense rhododendron thickets, and herds of blue sheep that graze the alpine meadows and glaciated valleys amidst the scenery of supercilious Himalayan peaks. Your journey to Gosaikunda Lake (4.460 m) takes you through pine, oak, and rhododendron forests, which are less common than others and will appeal to mountain lovers to get to this off the beaten track.
The ideal trekking seasons to Gosakinda are from February to June and September to December. You may experience occasional snowfall in November, December, January, and mid-February.
The 16-day hike passes through the sanctified lake of Gosaikunda, and the Laurebina pass at 4,610 m. Finally, we walk down to Dhunche (the gateway of Langtang Trek) and drive back to Kathmandu.
