The Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is a unique combination of the Langtang and Gosaikunda valleys, which provides an opportunity to explore the pristine valleys, high passes, and diverse ethnic culture of the Langtang region. Despite being easily accessible, this trek remains an unspoiled and less trodden route in Nepal, offering a chance to witness the Tibetan influence on people and culture.
This trek takes you through dense forests and traditional ethnic settlements, ending at the Kyanjin Gompa yak pasture land, where you can climb the Kyanjin Ri and enjoy panoramic views of parades of peaks. After retracing your steps, the trek continues to the holy Gosaikunda Lake, a sacred pilgrimage site for Shamans and Hindu and Buddhist devotees. The Laurebina Pass, standing tall at 4620 meters, offers excellent views of Tibet, making this trek an unforgettable experience.
