The Langtang Gosaikunda trek is the perfect amalgamation of one of the easier and more beautiful treks in Nepal, with a final leg that takes trekkers on the scenic Gosaikunda trail.

Langtang Gosaikunda trek is easily accessible trek and one can reach at this place after one day’s drive from Kathmandu. The trek to Langtang Gosaikunda is starting from North part of Kathmandu and will be ended at the border of Tibet. Although Langtang is relatively less developed trekking area, it offers a great opportunity for the explorers and trekkers to see Bill Tillman’s wake. Bill Tillman is a person who rediscovered the Himalayan passes, pristine valley and varied ethnos culture in 1949.  Tibetan Migrants said that Langtang Gosaikunda is regarded as “Hidden Valley” and it is a place of refugee so that it is not disclosed.

As a teahouse trek alternative to Annapurna and Everest the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is a superb choice that rounds out the forested lowlands, alpine pastures, and yak herds of Gyanjin Gompa in Langtang Valley with the sacred jewel of Gosaikunda Lake and the Sherpa meadows of Helambu.

The route winds through dense rhododendron forest on either side of the river until it breaks from of the tree line and heads into the alpine regions, across glacial moraine, and on to the rebuilt village of Langtang. Further and higher into the valley’s inner sanctum are the yak pasturelands and dramatic setting for Kyanjin Gompa, a remote monastery famous for the production of yak cheese. Optional climbs to either Kyanjin Ri or Cherko Ri render panoramic views of the nearby mountains, including Langtang Lirung, which dominates the valley at a height of 7234 meters.

There is Tamang community in the midway and the trek route has beautiful rhododendron flower and fabulous landscape. We can reach at the Gosaikunda Lake after the several days audacious as well as pleasing trekking through the traditional ethnic settlements and forest on the way. Gosaikunda is the popular Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage destinations and thousands of pilgrims visit the site in every year especially in May and August.
