Langtang Gosaikunda Trek

After a short briefing meeting with our manager about the trip, you are free for the rest of the day today. So, we suggest the Kathmandu Cultural Tour, which is really beneficial for understanding ancient Nepalese history, culture, ethnic groups, religions, beliefs, festivals, art, architecture, and more, including present changes in politics, development, and progress, along with the country's geographical structure, led by a tour guide. You will visit four UNESCO World Heritage Sites out of the 10 in Nepal: Kathmandu Durbar Square (Hanuman Dhoka Palace), Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath (Open Cremation), and Boudhanath, and return to the hotel to stay overnight after managing and packing your trek equipment.

After breakfast, we will drive towards the northwestern valleys along the Trishuli Bazaar, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the high, snow-capped mountains in the Annapurna, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal ranges. The route is almost along the green valley, passing through tranquil villages and rushing rivers. We will stop by Trishuli Bazaar and head to Dhunche. From Dhunche, we will descend to Sybrubensi. Overnight stay at Sybrubensi.

The first-day trail in the Langtang Gosainkunda trek crosses the Bhote Koshi River, which originates in Tibet and joins the Langtang Khola. We will cross a suspension bridge over the Langtang Khola and continue ascending along the trail, passing through the dense forests of oak and rhododendrons. Crossing the densely forested area, we will continue to Rimche and finally to the Lama Hotel. Overnight stay at the Lama Hotel.

Initially, our trail gently climbs, then follows steeper sections through forested areas, leaving the Langtang Khola far behind. Witnessing Mt. Langtang Lirung (7227m) and lush meadows, we will cross a wooden log bridge to the Ghodatabela. We will cross many settlements of Tamang, forests of rhododendrons and prayer flags, and many miles to reach our final destination, Langtang Village. Overnight stay at Langtang Village.

It is a short walk to Kyanjin Gompa, which will take about 3-4 hours. The trail mostly winds across the Yak Pasture lands and through the villages of Mundu. We will also encounter and cross some wooden bridges and moraines before reaching Kyanjin Gompa. We will have lunch there and move to Kyanjin Gompa, the government-operated Cheese factory, along with our tourist guide. Overnight stay at Kyanjin Gompa.

Due to continuous trekking from Sybrubensi to Kyanjin Gompa, we need to acclimatize to the thinner air at this altitude. We need to rest and adjust to the increasing altitude, so we will use this day to explore nearby areas or go on a day hike. We will ascend to Kyanjin Ri (4350 m) and Tserko Ri (4984m), the highest point of this trek, or we can also hike up to the Langshisha Kharka. Enjoying the magnificent mountain views and the moraines, we will return to the Kyanjin Gompa. Overnight stay at Kyanjin Gompa.

We will descend the same trail early in the morning, following the Langtang Khola to Langtang village, then to Lama Hotel after passing Gumanechok. We will have lunch at Ghodatabela and continue down the steep descent on the same trail we ascended earlier. Overnight stay at the Lama Hotel.

We begin the second half of the Langtang Gosainkunda Trek as the trail descends along the Langtang River, then ascends through pine, oak, and rhododendron forests to Thulo Syabru. Passing Bamboo and Doman on the way, we reach Thulo Syabru. This beautiful village has preserved the unique Tamang culture and offers magnificent views of the Ganesh Himal (7,124 m), Langtang Himal (7,227 m), and the surrounding ranges. Overnight stay at Thulo Syabru.

This will be the steepest part of our trek. We will start our trek early in the morning and ascend the path to Dursagang. The trail continues through the forests, and we reach the high mountains that lead us to the top of Phulung Danda. The route from here ascends gently to Chopche, then continues steeply up a ridge with views of the snow-capped Himalayas, ending at Lauribinayak. Overnight stay at Lauribinayak.

From Lauribinayak, the trail ascends above the tree line. After crossing a small bridge, we will see majestic views of the holy lake Gosainkunda. We will encounter Saraswatikunda, Bhairab Kunda, and Gosainkunda. Gosainkunda is a sacred lake; many pilgrims visit it during Janai Purnima. After enjoying the magnificent mountain views and the beautiful, mystic river, we will return to Lauribinayak. We will stay overnight there.

From Lauribinayak, we will walk to Gosainkunda and ascend for about 1.5 hours to reach the summit of the Lauribina Pass. The pass boasts exquisite views of the Himalayas in the Ganesh, Langtang, and Manaslu Himal ranges. The beautiful trail then descends steeply to Phedi and then to Ghopte. Overnight stay at Ghopte.

After breakfast, we will follow ascending and descending trails along the region's curvaceous hills and through a few forested areas. We will reach Tharepati. It is a beautiful place on the ridge, offering magnificent views of the high snowy mountains and the trail towards Helambu. We will continue along the trail to reach Kutumsang. Overnight stay at Kutumsang.

We will start our trail in the early morning along the ascending path and descend to Gul Bhanjyang. The trail ascends to Chipling and then descends steeply to the Thodung. The track keeps on ascending and descending until Chisapani. The trek crosses Thankune Bhanjyang and Pati Bhanjyang before reaching the viewpoint of the Gaurishankar range; it then heads to Chisapani. Overnight stay at Chisapani.

This will be our last day of trekking. We will enter Shivapuri National Park, ascend to Borlang Bhanjyang, descend the trail, pass through the Park's dense forests to Mulkharka, and finally head down to Sundarijal. From Sundarijal, we will drive back to Kathmandu, and then we will have a farewell dinner hosted by Frolic Adventure Treks on the successful completion of the Langtang Gosainkunda Trek. Overnight stay at a hotel in Kathmandu.

On the Langtang Gosainkunda lake trek, this will be your last day in Kathmandu. We will transfer you to the International airport for your scheduled flight, bidding you a final goodbye.
