The isolated and beautiful Langtang Valley and the lofty alpine lakes of Gosainkunda are combined within Langtang Gosainkunda Trek. This amazing journey begins with a drive through land to Dhunche, the main trading center of the region, and continues with a variety of beautiful Himalayan views and exciting ethnic exchanges. In close proximity to the Nepal-Tibet border, the trek area is located just north of Kathmandu.
Langtang Valley Trek ends after exploring the lovely Langtang National Park, Gosainkunda Lake, 4,380m, and stunning mountain vistas to its north. From Kathmandu, we follow the Trisuli River north through Trisuli Bazar and Dhunche to Syabrubesi, a Sherpa village that is right on the border of the Langtang National Park. Then, we ascend up. A gorge-like portion of the valley makes a swing to the east and enters the Langtang valley. On our way to the Tamang town of Langtang, we go through woods of oak and rhododendron and even cross a glacial moraine. This hike offers the chance for seeing deep gorges, mountainous terrain, pine forests, and yak pastures. The trek further leads to an understanding of Buddhist religious traditions, mysterious monasteries, charming villages, hillside terraces, tranquil valleys, and breathtaking glaciers flowing from high mountains i.e.Jugal Himal range. The trail also takes us to the holy Gosainkunda (4,380m), an alpine freshwater lake situated at a great altitude in the Rasuwa mountains.
Besides Gosainkunda and Langtang valley, our trail also leads toward the 700-year-old Kyangin Gompa monastery at an elevation of 4000m. We will stop at the village and the next day tries the yak cheese made in the nearby factory. On our ascent to see the glaciers, which serve as the entrance to Tibet, we pass through Nubamatang. As we proceed south, we pass through the Helambu valley to Gul Bhanjyang, crossing the Laurebina Pass (4610m), and leaving the Langtang region in our rearview mirror. On a clear day, we can see Everest, the Annapurnas, Manaslu, Langtang, and many other mountains with outstanding clarity.
The Langtang Gosaikunda trek is about 117 km (about 72.7 mi) with 35 km (about 21.75 mi) of the bumpy road from Trisuli to Dhunche. A standard 13-day itinerary of the Langtang and Gosaikunda trek includes good lodge accommodation with healthy food. You'll be walking approx. 5-7 hours daily. Since you will be walking a lot, it can be difficult for someone who does not walk normally or is not involved in physical work. Mountain Guide Trek and Expedition Pvt. Ltd is constantly available to assist our visitors.
Additionally, for travelers to the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, we can change the days based on their preferences and concerns. If you have an infinite or restricted amount of time, the Langtang Valley Trek, Langtang Ganjala Pass Trek, or Langtang Helambu Circuit would be a good option for your holiday.
Langtang Gosainkunda Trek is a mid-hill trip. So, the trek's level of difficulty can range from easy to moderate. The majority of the trail is woodland. As a result, if you hike during the monsoon season, you are more likely to suffer leech bites. Altitude might be a problem for people who are traveling from sea level. In order to avoid getting altitude sickness trekkers are generally requested to hike gently and drink sufficient water and electrolytes. Moreover, there are narrow pathways in certain spots. On seeing, the yak caravan approaching, move to the safer side and wait for it to pass. Experienced hikers forbid others from smelling the flowers on the trail. They claim the blossoms are deadly, and that smelling them might trigger altitude sickness.
Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims revere Gosainkunda as a sacred site. Numerous Hindu pilgrims worship Lord Shiva each year on the auspicious occasion of Janai Purnima, which falls on the full moon day of the Nepali calendar in the month of Bhadra (August). The pilgrims from India and Nepal make the lake crowded. Lord Shiva is believed for ingesting Kalkut poison to protect the earth and the creatures from being destroyed. As he suffered a lot from the reaction of the strongest poison, it is believed he created the lake using his holy trident i.e. Trishul. And after piercing the mountain he drank the water to soothe his burning throat and lay on the stone ground. Later on, water filled the ground and took the shape of a lake. The Hindu people still believe that suffering, grief, and sins are wiped away after taking a dip in the holy lake.
From Kathmandu, Langtang is the closest hilly trekking area. But each season offers its own benefits and drawbacks for trekking in the Langtang Valley. As trekking season peaks in all of Nepal's areas, autumn is the most favored season. Autumn encompasses the months of September, October, and November, which include comfortable temperatures and a clear sky with little to no precipitation. Moreover, Gosaikunda's weather is very unstable and subject to sudden changes. Always expect rain, so prepare all the gear you'll need for the walk before going to Gosaikunda. Maintain a supply of food, water bottles, sunglasses, raincoats, walking sticks, gloves, warm clothing, hiking boots, and warm clothing. The finest times to visit Gosaikunda are in the autumn and spring. Because of the unpredictable weather. Between the beginning of September and the end of December and from the end of February to the beginning of June is regarded as the best time to visit. Travel is possible in July and August as well, but because of the rain, the view will be hazy.

Gosainkunda is a glacial lake situated at an elevation of (4380m) in the Rasuwa district of Nepal. Gosainkunda is a popular pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Hindus. Hindus take a holy dip during Janai Purnima and worship lord Shiva, putting a sacred thread on their body. Besides, Gosainkunda has emerged as a touristic destination because it is one of the nearest glacial lakes to Kathmandu. The pilgrims reach Gosainkunda in April to celebrate Nepali New Year and in August to observe Jani Purnima. But the trekkers hike mainly in Spring, Summer, and Autumn seasons to enjoy the scenario of Gosainkunda. In winter the lake remains frozen and the number of trekkers is limited.
Gosainkunda trek is a moderate-level trek locked within the Langtang National park to the north of Kathmandu Valley. Gosainkunda trek follows the ancient route to the Tamang communities. We need a special permit to enter the Langtang National Park from Nepal government. No damage or harm should be done to any of the species, plants, or monuments all throughout the trek.
Gosainkunda Lake is situated at an elevation of 4380m with specific religious importance to the Hindus and Buddhists. People revere Gosainkunda lake with high religious importance and try to reach it at least once in a lifetime. But, besides, Gosainkunda lake there are other lakes to be observed. All together 22 associated lakes have been discovered around Gosainkunda lake and this area has been included in the Ramsar site in 2007. The other important lakes to observe during Langtang Gosainkunda treks are; Bhairab Kunda (4315m), Surya Kunda, Nilkunda, Chandra Kunda (4477m), Raja Kunda, Rani Kunda, Ragat Kunda (4493m), Ama Kunda and so on.
The famous rafting river Trisuli gets originated from Gosainkunda Lake. According to the Hindu myth, lord Shiva drank the Kalkut poison to save the planet from destruction. Finally, to relieve himself from the burning effect of the poison, he created the lake with the help of his holy trident and lay down on the lake. Whatever the story is. Two of the major lakes Bhairab Kunda and Gosainkunda has become the major source of Trisuli river until now.
