Trip Description

The Langtang and Gosainkund trek is a combination of two short trek, Langtang-a beautiful valley on the lap of Himalaya & Gosainkund- a sacred lake located in the high plateau of Langtang National Park. The national park was established in 1976 as Nepal's first Himalayan national park.

The Gosainkunda Lake is located at an elevation of 4,300 m (14,100 ft) and one of the religious site for all hindus. Hindu mythology attributes Gosaikunda as the abode of the Hindu deities Shiva and Gauri & Its waters are considered holy. Thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India visit the Gosainkund Lake during Dashahara and Janai Purnima. Gosaikunda is believed to have been created by Lord Shiva when he thrust his Trishul (holy Trident) into a mountain to extract water so that he could cool his stinging throat after he had swallowed poison.

The route goes through the most affected village of Langtang by the earthquake of 2015 and anyone participating on this trek will support the needed community. The village is rebuilt and has started welcoming tourist from their heart.

Upon arrival, you will spend 2 nights in Kathmandu, exploring UNESCO heritage sites before heading to Syaphrubensi by 4WD. The trekkers pass through Sherpa villages to reach Langtang valley going through amazing views of rushing rivers, beautiful cedar forests and flowers, high alpine meadows, yak pastures, jaw dropping views of soaring Himalayan peaks including the mighty Shishapangma, Manaslu Massif, Ganesh Himal, Langtang and Jugal Himal. The village of Kyanjin Gompa is the last village in the langtang park where we spend 2 nights to explore around and summit the Tsergo Ri peak (4984m), surrounded by snow peaks on all sides. After a brief backtracking till Pairo, we start ascending through Syabru and Sing Gompa to the high plateau, where the sacred lake of Gosainkund is located. Crossing the Laurebena Pass (4,610 m) is another highlight of our Langtang Gosainkund trek and proceed south, leaving the Langtang area behind as we trek through the scenic Helambu Valley to Sundarijal before driving back to Kathmandu.

The two weeks Lantgtang and Gosainkund trek is an alternative trekking package of Everest Base Camp trek and Annapurna Circuit trek.

Is this the right trip for you?
  • This is amazingly 17 days holidays passes through high pass of Laurebena (4,610 m). If the weather is bad and snowed a lot, we have to make an alternative route. If you are happy with this then Langtang and Gosainkunda trek is the right trip for you.
  • We have to trek from 2000m to 4600m between 5-8 hrs a day in a different weather conditions. If this is not a problem, then this is the right trip for you.
  • Accommodation and foods are more basic then established route like Everest base camp or Annapurna Base camp. Some places you’ll use a simple bucket shower and toilets are in local squat style and shared. If you do not have problem with this then this is the right trip for you.
  • Langtang and Gosainkund trek is much quieter than popular trail like Everest Base Camp. It is more authentic with amazing Sherpa culture. If you are looking for such a place then it is the right trip for you.
  • During the earthquake of 2015, the langtang valley was totally swept away from landslide and many villagers have lost their property and loved ones. After the support from national and international supporter, people have rebuild their house and hotels. If you want to support the community doing trek in this area, then this is the right trek for you.

After ABC Trek last year with TTG, we did this year Langtang-Gosaikunda-Helambu Trek. Everything was once again very good organized from the beginning till the end by Trekking Team Group. Excellent guide and porters made everything that we feel good. Stunning landscapes. We will come back for another Trek with TrekkingTeamGroup.

We were planning long time a head to trek to Langtang region. This was best trip we ever been to. The snow fall on the way, frozen lakes and beautiful view of mountains at sunrise was best of all. All our guides and porters were experience and friendly who could tell you lot about the country. We had lots of fun and learned many things each others.
Thank you guys for a great trip!

TTG, namely the guider Arjun, managed everything with international quality and best knowledge of the local conditions. On trek I want to enjoy the nature, culture and people. I prefer to avoid arranging for accommodation, routes, meal etc. This has been managed by TTG and the guider. TTG helps just to enjoy what you plan before trek. Reliable and professional not only trek organizers, but also very friendly and helpful. Should you experience wonderful trek and safety return at home, turn to TTG.

Additional Information

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.

What makes this trip different ?

Trekking Team Group is the major supporter of Ambe Foundation, an apolitical and not-for-profit organisation. We contribute our support for the development of some community schools in remote villages in Nuwakot district. We have been supporting Gramin Devi School and Khumbeshwori School, both community-based educational institutions, through donation, sponsorship and partnership in various projects.

Donation

Trekking Team Group donates one percentage of its total business profits to the foundation on yearly basis. The donated amount supports the ongoing maintenance of Gramin Devi School and Khumbeshwori School in Nuwakot.

Sponsorship

One of the major activities of Ambe Foundation is the children sponsorship programme. It is conducted in full collaboration with Trekking Team Group.

Partnership (Volunteering Program)

The Ambe Volunteer Programme, organised by Ambe Foundation and Trekking Team Group, aims to mobilise teams of experts and interested individuals effectively for education, health and community development in Nuwakot district.
