Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trekking
  • Total Duration:16 Days
  • Trip Grade: Easy to Challenging
  • Max Elevation:4990 Mtr.
  • Best Time:March to November

Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trekking Region can be found north of Kathmandu and can be reached by taking a bus to the small trailhead of Dhunche. From there, the valley runs northeast towards Langtang village, Kyanjin Gompa, and Langshisha Kharka.

The Langtang valley is appropriately named "the valley of glaciers", as towering mountains rise up towards the sky. The valley boasts pine forests, fast-flowing mountain streams, rocky terrain, snow-capped peaks, grassy meadows dotted with daisies and other wildflowers. A range of sights, including Buddhist monasteries, a cheese factory, yaks, glaciers, and mountain lakes make this trek an exciting one. This trek offers a chance to experience life in a typical Sherpa village and visit ancient monasteries, providing a unique opportunity to learn about village life.

The trail you follow is rugged, with dramatic views of the Himalayas to the west, including Himal chuli (7893m), Manaslu (8156m), and Ganesh Himal (7406m). On a clear day, the Annapurna range can be seen rising up behind, while to the north, across the valley, is Langtang Lirung. You'll pass a few huts in the high picture of Laurebina, cross a small ridge, and then have your first glimpse of the holy lakes. The Gosainkunda Basin contains around a dozen lakes, with the main three being Saraswatikunda, Bhairab kunda, and Gosainkunda. Legend has it that Shiva created Gosainkunda when he pierced a glacier with his trident to obtain water to quench his thirst after having swallowed a poison that threatened to destroy the world.
