About Trip:

The Langtang valley is one of the more obscure trekking destinations of Nepal. It is not immediately on the list of prominent trekking destinations like the Everest or the Annapurna regions. But that is precisely why the Langtang valley makes for the best off-the-beaten-path treks. As such, the Langtang Gosainkunda Sundarijal Trekking is perfect for trekkers who are looking to explore the hidden gems of northern Nepal. Throughout the journey, trekkers are presented with amazing natural surroundings, magnificent Himalayan peaks, gorgeous valleys, a diverse ecosystem, and rich ethnic cultures.
The adventure begins with a drive from the capital to the settlement of Sybrubensi. From there, the trekkers walk on verdant woodlands and through the Langtang valley, passing by many ethnic Tamang settlements and villages like the Langtang village, Bamboo and Tharepati among many others. The journey includes many amazing highlights and features of the valley, like the holy Gosainkunda Lake as well as spiritual monasteries of Tamang heritage like the Kyanjin Gumba and the Shin Gumba. Moreover, the journey also includes visiting the vantage points of Chisapani and Sundarijal from where the views of the Himalayan peaks are utterly splendid. The Langtang Gosainkunda Sundarijal Trekking is a journey that perfectly encapsulates the Tamang tenor of the region while at the same time presenting trekkers with unprecedented natural beauty. Similarly, trekkers will be going through the Langtang National Park and can enjoy the opulent woodlands and alpine acreages of the valley where endangered species of animals like the Red Panda and the Musk Deer have their habitat. The rhododendron-covered terrain makes for a beautiful contrast against the cerulean Langtang peaks. The Langtang Gosainkunda Sundarijal Trek is a moderate trekking journey that does not require any previous trekking experience to do. It is best suited to be done during the spring and autumn seasons.

Our well-rounded and carefully-crafted package of the Langtang Gosainkunda Sundarijal Trekking is the best trip that presents our customers with an unforgettable experience.
