Langtang Gosainkund Trekking (13 Nights/14 Days)

This trip takes you from Kathmandu along the Trishuli River and up to the start of the trail. We then trek through Tamang and Sherpa villages along the Langtang Khola in a fabulous valley which is constantly changing as we gain altitude with a variety of habitats. Keep your eyes open for the birds and mammals! The valley widens at Kyanjin Gompa and here we have the opportunity to climb a viewing peak – Tsergo Ri. We then descend down the Langtang Khola before climbing again to Shing Gompa, where there is a cheese factory originally set up by a Swiss. Close by here is a Red Panda reserve so we should be alert, watching out for the wildlife. From here we trek to Laurabina and Gosainkund sacred lakes, where we are treated to views from the Lantang across the Ganesh Himal, and Annapurna Ranges.

A small viewing point above the sacred lakes provides a sensational Himalayan vista. After crossing Laurabina we descend through pretty Helambu villages and through Shivapuri National Park back to Kathmandu. This is definitely an unsung hero of the Nepal National Parks.You can depend on our experience and professional expertise. Our directors have a combination of travel industry, charity and global corporate backgrounds. We are able to combine these skills to create a highly professional and experienced team.
