Langtang Gosainkunda Treks

The Langtang Gosaikunda is a moderate level trek whose difficulty depends on a lot of external factors. The Langtang trekking trail is loaded with uphill and downhill routes embedded with some steeper sections as well. The difficulty level depends on the topography of the route and the season in which you choose to trek

Anyone with an average fitness level can complete this trek. Despite the rugged terrains and the rocky trails, you can manage if you physically prepare yourself prior to this trek.

On an average, you will have to walk 6 -7 hours per day. As you have to constantly ascend and descend to and from at an altitude of around 1000m. However this can fluctuate in case if the weather turns bad.

While taking this trek, you need to have a TIMs card, and the Langtang National Park entry permit. It is mandatory to have permits, in case if you don’t then you’ll face complications and it is a punishable offence.

This trek takes you through the beautiful Langtang region. While on the trail, you will be greeted by delightful views of the Langtang Lirung mountain range, Gaurishankar Himal, Dorje Lakpa. Besides that the ethnic Tamang settlements and Gosaikunda Lake are the major highlights of this trek. 

The common Nepali staple comprises dal bhat. However, in these high parts, you won’t find that also. Instead, people eat dhido and vegetables. In some lodges, you can find popular Nepalese fast food like momo and chow mein. 

During this trek, you will be staying in the teahouses. A teahouse is a small lodge type accommodation which is run by the locals. The rooms are neat, clean with showers and are comparatively cheaper than the lodges. 

The trail sees an increase in altitude by at least 300 meters daily. The maximum height reached in this trek is 4000 meters. So, there is a high risk of altitude sickness. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and sickness. If you feel sick, then we advise you to take a rest and continue slowly.  

Trekking independently is doable, but involves seen and unforeseen risks. On the other hand trekking with the recognized agencies gives you the advantage of trekking under a systematic and a well-planned schedule. Most of the time, you will be travelling with a group.

The agency will also provide you with a guide and a porter. Trekking with an agency will be a little more expensive than trekking independently or solo.

It is not a compulsory requirement but a certain level of physical fitness would be good for this particular trek. Some parts of the trek are tricky and require professional guidance.
