Langtang Gosaikund Round  Trek

The Langtang valley populated by Sherpa and Tamang families, lies to the northwest of Kathmandu valley. and is over shadowed to the north by the high peak of Langtang Lirung (23,756ft) on Tibetan border. Most of the area has been designated a national park, which is noted for its birDs and flowers. To the south of Langtang area are the holy lakes of Gosaikunda scene off a colorful festival each summer, but equally beautiful in spring and autumn which we visit on our return journey from Langtang.

We begin our walk after a drive to Dunche through Tamang settlements with fine views of the Trisuli valley. Our route into Langtang takes us through a varied landscape of evergreen forest and rushing streams of Ghora Tabela. Next we come to Langtang village itself, and higher still Kyangjin Gompa, a Buddhist monastery at 12,000ft set in a bowl-like the valley encircled by snow peaks. Here we can visit the local village and Langtang glacier. Our route to Gosikunda takes us back down the valley before a long climb up to the lakes, in spectacular alpine setting. Crossing a 15,000ft pass, we come down past a waterfall to a pretty Helambu region, making our way on one of several alternative trails through small Sherpa villages towards the road head at Sundarijal to Kathmandu.
