Overview

The Langtang–Gosaikunda–Helambu Trek is a stunning 17-day journey through three diverse regions north of Kathmandu: Langtang Valley, the sacred Gosaikunda Lakes, and the culturally rich Helambu Valley. This trek blends cultural heritage, spiritual significance, and unparalleled mountain beauty.

Gosaikunda: A revered pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists, Gosaikunda Lake (4380m) is believed to have healing powers. According to legend, it was created by Lord Shiva to quench his thirst. The lake feeds into the Trishuli River and is the center of the Janai Purnima festival.

Helambu Valley: Known for its lush forests, friendly Sherpa villages, and incredible views, Helambu lies just north of Kathmandu and is celebrated for its moderate climate and spiritual serenity.

Langtang Region: Nestled south of the Tibetan border, this narrow valley features snow-capped peaks, glacial rivers, and charming Tamang communities. It is the ideal destination for those seeking an immersive natural and cultural experience.

The adventure begins in Kathmandu, with visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From Syabrubesi, the trail winds through alpine forests and high ridges, ascending to Kyanjin Gompa and Tserko Ri for breathtaking Himalayan vistas. From there, the trek leads to the sacred Gosaikunda Lakes and over the Laurebina Pass into the picturesque Helambu region. The journey ends with a scenic drive back to Kathmandu, where you’ll enjoy a farewell celebration.

Perfect for trekkers who seek a blend of spiritual depth, cultural immersion, and natural beauty, this trail offers everything—from vibrant villages and ancient monasteries to serene lakes and dramatic mountain landscapes.
