Langtang Gosaikunda Trek - 15 Days

Welcome to Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal! Your flight into the city offers stunning views of snow-capped peaks and lush valleys, giving you a glimpse of the incredible journey that awaits. Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our friendly and professional team will assist you with the arrival process and transfer you to your hotel. Once settled, you’ll receive a detailed briefing about your exciting itinerary, ensuring you’re ready for the adventures ahead. Spend a relaxing evening exploring the city’s lively streets and soaking in its rich cultural atmosphere.

Your adventure continues with a scenic drive to Syabrubesi, passing through the quaint town of Dhunche. Along the way, you’ll be treated to ever-changing landscapes—verdant valleys, terraced fields, and glimpses of distant Himalayan peaks. The six-hour journey is more than just travel; it marks the beginning of your Himalayan adventure, gradually ascending to 1,470 meters and offering your first taste of the breathtaking scenery that lies ahead. 

The first part of the trail takes you across the Bhote Koshi River and follows the scenic Langtang Khola. The path gradually ascends through rugged terrain, leading you to Bamboo (1,970 m). From there, the trek continues with a gentle climb to Rimche (2,400 m), where we can enjoy a well-deserved lunch. At the end of the day, we’ll reach the Lama Hotel, our resting spot for the night. Along the way, keep your eyes open—you might be lucky enough to spot red pandas, monkeys, or even bears in their natural habitat.

The trek continues along Gumanechok at Ghoda Tabela, which translates to “Horse Stable.” From here, the trail gently ascends into a picturesque valley dotted with grazing yaks. Langtang, a traditional village and one of the oldest settlements along this route, offers a glimpse into local life and culture. As you trek closer, the surrounding mountains grow ever more majestic, their breathtaking beauty leaving a lasting impression.

Today’s walk is shorter, making it perfect for acclimatizing. There are plenty of interesting things to explore, especially the famous local cheese factory—be sure to try some freshly made cheese, straight from the source. This beautiful valley lies in the shadow of Langtang Lirung, offering stunning views all around. It’s also an ideal spot to explore the surrounding valley and climb a few small peaks for a closer view of the majestic landscape.

A rest day is more than just a pause—it’s an opportunity to recharge and help your body adjust to the higher altitude. Take this time to explore the surroundings, enjoy short hikes to nearby viewpoints, and soak in the breathtaking Himalayan scenery. It’s the perfect chance to relax, rejuvenate, and prepare both body and mind for the adventures that lie ahead.

We will return the same trail to the Lama hotel. 

In the morning, you’ll set off from Lama Hotel, retracing your steps through the scenic Langtang Valley. The trail begins with a gentle descent through lush forests and along the Langtang River. After passing Rimche, you’ll cross a suspension bridge and follow a well-trodden path to the charming village of Bamboo. Continuing downstream, the trail meanders through riverside glades with gentle ups and downs, eventually reaching Pairo.

As you descend toward the banks of Langtang Khola, you’ll cross a picturesque waterfall and pass through dense rhododendron and bamboo forests, teeming with wildlife such as wild boar and monkeys. With luck, you might even spot red pandas, Himalayan black bears, or langur monkeys. The trail also treats trekkers to magnificent views of Ganesh Himal. By the end of the day, you’ll cross another suspension bridge to reach the lower part of Thulo Syabru village, concluding a day filled with breathtaking scenery and rich natural encounters.

The trek from Thulo Syabru to Foprang Danda (3,200 m) begins with a steep ascent through Dursagang (2,660 m), offering stunning views of Langtang Himal and Ganesh Himal. After the climb, the path gradually levels out as you make your way to Sing Gompa. Here, you’ll find a well-managed local cheese factory and a serene Buddhist monastery. Sing Gompa offers panoramic mountain views, refreshing natural surroundings, and a chance to taste some of the finest yak cheese in Nepal—freshly made and highly prized.

The trail begins with a steady climb to Laurebinayak, leading into a steeper ascent all the way to Gosaikunda. The rugged path offers dramatic views of the Manaslu and Ganesh Himal ranges, distant Tibetan peaks, and the towering Langtang Lirung. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the Annapurna range rising majestically in the distance. Along the way, you’ll pass a few huts in the high pastures of Laurebinayak, cross a small ridge, and finally be rewarded with your first breathtaking views of the sacred lake of Gosaikunda

Crossing Gosaikunda and the East Laurabinaya-La Pass is more than just a trek—it’s a thrilling Himalayan adventure. Over the course of roughly seven hours, you’ll navigate rugged terrain, rocky trails, and snow-dusted landscapes, reaching an impressive high point of 4,640 m. The sense of achievement, the crisp mountain air, and the sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding peaks combine to make this challenging day an unforgettable highlight of your journey.

The trek to Kutumsang is a six-hour descent through Langtang's diverse landscapes, dropping to 2,455 meters. The path winds through forests, terraced fields, and traditional villages, offering scenic views and a glimpse into the region's cultural transitions.

The Chisapani trek extends your Himalayan adventure with a six-hour ascent to 2,195 meters. Traverse lush forests and scenic trails, immersing yourself in the mountains' tranquility and panoramic views.

The final four-hour trek to Sundarijal, descending to 1,380 meters, concludes your Langtang Gosainkunda adventure with a last glimpse of the valley's scenic views. A subsequent one-hour drive returns you to Kathmandu, marking the end of an unforgettable journey of mountains, culture, and lasting memories.
