Langtang Gosaikunda Trek – 15 Days Brief Insight
The Langtang Gosaikunda trek is the best place to go on your trekking journey if you are new to trekking activities. The hike is not too hard nor too easy which can not be a big deal for someone with a healthy body and someone interested in hiking or trekking.
You will experience the most breathtaking views and adventure as you pass through charming villages, woods, and magnificent vistas of the Himalayas and the remote places of Langtang Valley.
The Langatang region is popular for Buddhist monasteries, traditions, and sceneries. Along the whole way there you will be able to walk through the river upstream through rhododendrons, bamboo, yak pastures, and alpine meadows.
Even if you are an absolute beginner for activities like hiking and trekking, the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek will not be a difficult obstacle for you to pass as the maximum height is only 4,773m which is very low upon looking at the other treks in Nepal like the Annapurna Base Camp Trek and Everest Base Camp Trek.

The trek will lead you to Gosaikunda Lake also known as Silu which is located at the height of 4360m is a beautiful lake garnished by beautiful peaks on the side like Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and Langtang Himalayan ranges.
The Langtang remains one of the top trekking destinations in Nepal. The trek will take 15 days to accomplish and will start with a drive to Syabrubesi from Kathmandu. During the trek, you will walk past Kyanji, North Bhotekoshi, Tseko Ri (4,984m), Chandan Bari, Gosaikunda, and Thadepati Pass.
The Langtang Gosaikunda Trek will end with a drive from Sundarijal (1460m) to Kathmandu. Therefore, it is the entire route in the Langayang region that the travelers will follow.
