Langtang Gosaikunda Trek

Langtang Gosainkund trekking, gives the trekker a remarkable and varied journey through the Langtang valley and onto the holy lakes of Gosiankund. The Gosiankund lakes are considered holy by both Hindus and Buddhists alike and many Hindus make the pilgrimage to bathe in the lakes during the August full moon festival of Janai Purnima.

This trek will give your legs a chance to warm up at the easier elevations and on the more moderate trails of the Langtang, before reaching the harder trails to the Gosiakund area and time to become acclimatised to the higher elevations. In the spring your efforts will be rewarded, not only with some spectacular mountain views, both also with the rhododendron forests in full bloom and carpets of alpine wildflowers. There will also be a chance to sample some of the local cheese at the famous cheese factory in Kanjin Gompa.

The Langtang National Park covers an area of 1,170 km sq and includes 18 different ecosystems. From lowland forests abundant with wildlife, to alpine meadows, pristine lakes, magnificent mountain views and a chance to sample the unique lifestyle of the local Tamang people, this is a truly memorable trek.
