Gosaikunda
trekking in Nepal combines the remote and spectacular valley of Langtang, with the
high mountain lakes at Gosainkund. Visit the beautiful Langtang
National park and then trek to the end of the valley to view the
wonderful mountains views. Following the Trisuli River north out of
Kathmandu, we travel through Trisuli Bazaar and Dhunche to
Syabrubensi, a Sherpa village located at the very edge of the Langtang
National Park. We then swing east into the Langtang valley, crossing
the river several times as we travel up along a gorge-like, lower
section of the valley. We pass through oak and rhododendron forests and
even cross glacial moraine on our way to the Tamang village of
Langtang.
A little further up the valley is Kyangin Gompa, where we stop overnight and sample the local yak cheese. We pass through Nubamatang, nestled in a hidden valley, on our way up to view the glaciers, which mark the gateway into Tibet. Backtracking, we travel through Syabru and Sing Gompa to a high plateau, where the sacred lake Gosainkund is located. Crossing the Llaurebena Pass (4610m), we continue south, leaving the Langtang region behind us as we travel through the Helambu valley to Gul Bhanjyang.
