Trip Overview
Langtang Gosaikunda and Helambu Trek
Trekking throughout Nepal for 17 days, the Langtang, Gosaikunda, and Helambu Trek offers amazing vistas of the towering Himalayas, verdant forests, charming villages, and a diverse array of wildlife. After arriving by plane in Kathmandu, we visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites before making our way to the Tamang hamlet of Syabrubesi, which is situated adjacent to the Bhote Koshi River and serves as the starting point of our walk. We reach Kyanjin Gompa on our way, and the next day we climb Tserko Ri to enjoy the breath-taking vistas of the Langtang Lirung (7,200m/23,622ft) range. Following that, we continue our ascent through the gorgeous Langtang Valley to arrive at Gosaikunda, a well-known Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage site. Gosaikunda Lake, which bears the same name, is a major attraction in the area. The mysterious healing properties of its shimmering water are believed to exist. Before arriving at the Laurebina Pass, we pass through several additional lakes on our route. We begin our journey in the Helambu Valley after descending the pass. The highest point of the journey is reaching the 3,800-meter top of Ama Yangri. Reportedly, the vista of the Himalayas from the summit is on par with that of Poon Hill, with Mount Shishapangma and the Langtang ranges looking almost in reach. For the next four days, we climb throughout the Helambu region before returning to Kathmandu to complete our amazing mountain adventure.
