The Langtang Gosainkunda trek is probably one of the most beautiful trekking routes in Nepal. Langtang is situated north of Kathmandu which is mostly populated by the ethnic groups known as Tamangs. Their culture and language is quite similar to the Tibetans and they are very helpful in nature.

This trek offers an opportunity for the adventurers and trekkers to discover the Himalayan passes, diverse ethno-culture and pristine valley. Though this trek is easily accessible from Kathmandu, it still remains relatively intact and less developed trekking in Nepal. About 7-9 days of pleasing Langtang-Gosainkunda trekking through traditional ethnic settlements and dense forest takes you the holy Gosainkunda Lake and Yak pasture of Kyangjin Gompa. Gosainkunda has become one of the holy pilgrimage sites for traditional witch doctors, Shamans, as well as many Buddhist and Hindu devotees.

You can visit the beautiful Langtang National Park and trek to the end of the valley to view the magnificent mountain views. The views of snowy mountain peaks are genuinely inspiring from this place. Travelling through Trishuli river and Dhunche to Syabrubensi, you can swing east into Langtang valley and travel up along a gorge like lower section of this valley by crossing the river. Passing through rhododendron and oak forests and even crossing Laurebinayak Pass which offer the excellent view into Tibet is really breathtaking.
