Langtang & Gosainkunda Valley Trek – 13 Days

The Langtang Valley and Gosainkunda trek is a spectacular Himalayan adventure that combines breathtaking mountain landscapes, rich Tamang culture and sacred alpine sites. Located just north of Kathmandu, this trek is ideal for travelers looking for an authentic experience, away from the crowds of the Everest or Annapurna regions.

The route explores the magnificent Langtang Valley, often called the Valley of Glaciers, passing through rhododendron and pine forests, traditional villages and yak pastures. One of the highlights of the trek is the ascent of Tsergo Ri (5,050 m), which offers an exceptional panoramic view of Langtang Lirung and the surrounding peaks.

The route then continues to the sacred lake of Gosainkunda, an important place of pilgrimage for Hindus and Buddhists. Crossing the Lauribina Pass (4,700m) is an exciting challenge, rewarded with unforgettable Himalayan views, before the descent through peaceful forests and hill villages to Sundarijal. This trek is perfect for hikers looking for a moderately difficult adventure, combining nature, culture and spirituality.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best seasons for trekking in Nepal are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). The weather is generally dry, the skies are clear and daytime temperatures are pleasant for walking, offering spectacular views of the Himalayas.
Good physical fitness is recommended. You must be able to walk between 5 and 7 hours per day over mountainous and sometimes steep terrain. We advise you to practice cardio activities (running, hiking, cycling) a few weeks before your departure.
Our itineraries include gradual acclimatization days to minimize risks. Our guides are trained to detect the symptoms of AMS. In the event of persistent or severe symptoms, the guide will immediately arrange descent to a lower altitude and coordinate an emergency evacuation by helicopter if necessary.
Accommodation is in 'teahouses' (small local mountain refuges). The rooms are simple and shared, with two single beds. Meals are prepared on site and feature energetic local cuisine like Dal Bhat (rice, lentil and vegetable soup), as well as Western dishes (pasta, soups, eggs, bread).
Yes, it is strictly obligatory to take out travel insurance covering high altitude trekking (up to the maximum height of your route) as well as search, rescue and emergency medical evacuation costs by helicopter.
To protect the fragile Himalayan environment, we discourage the purchase of single-use plastic water bottles. We recommend bringing reusable water bottles and using water purification tablets (like Aquatabs) or a portable filter. You can also buy safe boiled water at teahouses.
The mobile network (Ncell and NTC) works correctly in the lower valleys but becomes weak or non-existent at high altitudes. Most teahouses offer paid satellite Wi-Fi (around $2-$5 per day), but the speed can be slow and unstable depending on weather conditions.
