Langtang Gosainkund Circuit Trek begins with a 132km 8-10 hour bus ride from Kathmandu that follows the torturous and scenically exciting road to cross the Dhotre Khola, before turning north up the Trisuli Nadi to Syabru Besi (Lower Syabru): the starting point of the trek. Langtang Gosaikund trekking into the Langtang Valley, winds up the Langtang Khola, through forests of oak, rhododendron and then bamboo on the higher reaches of the trail. Shy red panda inhabit this valley. Kyanjin Gompa is a Sherpa village and an ideal place to experience the spiritual lifestyle of these Buddhist people: the monastery is about 700 years old.
An early morning hike up Tserko Ri (4 984m/16 352ft) to about 4600m offers tremendous panoramic views of the High Himalaya, including Langtang Lirung (7 227m/23 712ft) and the foot of one of its glaciers. If time, a second short hike to a glacial moraine will offer similar views. A traditional cheese factory can also be explored in Langtang classical valley trek.
Our Langtang Gosaikund trekking route, then returns, via Lama Hotel, to Thulo Syabru (Big Syabru). Then to Chandan Bari (and the Shin Gompa): with magnificent views of Ganesh Himal (7422m/24 351ft) to the NW on the border with Tibet and Langtang II (6 596m/21 641ft) in the North Eastt. Next is the walk to Laurebina Yak and then on to Gosainkund. Watch the sun rise over the numerous glistening lakes: believed to have been created by Lord Shiva after striking the rock with his trident. It is an important pilgrimage site for both Buddhists and Hindus.
This Langtang Helambu trail then passes over the Laurebina La (4 609m/15 121ft) and then descends gradually into the Helambu Valley with its terraced farmlands and rice paddies. The scenery is softer with views of the Dorje Lakpa and Jugal Himal ranges. Numerous Buddhist monasteries dot the countryside around the villages of Kutumsang, Chisopani and the large Tamang village of Mulkharka. From Sundarijal, a short one hour drive back to your Hotel.
