Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trek combines the experience of visiting the holy Gosainkunda Lake and observing the fantastic views of the Himalayas into a single context. During this combo trek, you will pass through the lush and verdant rhododendron and bamboo woods, spotting rare species of animals in their natural habitat like the Red Panda, and see magnificent waterfalls that adorn the terrains like a masterpiece painting by an omnipotent being and get rewarded by the outstanding views of the snow-topped peaks.
The Lake at Gosainkunda is holy to Buddhists and Hindus and is mainly visited annually by pilgrims in August. The Lake also has significance in the religious context to the Hindus as they believe that the Lake was created by Lord Shiva when he struck his trident in the mountain to drink from the mountain's glaciers to quench his thirst after swallowing a poison that was threatening to destroy the world.
Highlights Of The Trip
- The path has many sky-blue-hued mountain lakes, including the holy Lake, Gosainkunda.
- It is an off-the-beaten trail, so the excursion is brimming with audacious and exciting
terrains. - Navigate the towns, chat with locals and find out about their enticing society, custom
and lifestyle. - The journey involves entering Langtang National Park: home to endangered red pandas and others.
- Despite the journey being one of Nepal's most famous trips, it welcomes barely any groups. Subsequently, it is a less jam-packed path.
- Appreciate the stunning scenes and impressive mountains in isolation.
To begin the Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trek, we will drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi (6-7 Hours) and traverse the ebullient Bhote Koshi River. On the way, we may see wild animals like monkeys and red pandas in the woods as the trek allow us to trudge through acreages of rich verdant vegetation.
We will also pass destinations like the Gumanechok, the Ghoda Tabela, and the Mundu Langtang village before reaching the beautifully pious quintessence of the Kyanjin Gompa. At Kyanjin Gompa, we can notice the way of life of enthusiastic Buddhist monks who carry out rituals in the striking Monastery. We will also enjoy a short hike to the Kyanjin Ri (4,773m), which bestows prominent views of Mt Gyangchempo, Mt. Langtang Lirung, the Ganjala Peak, and many more.

PEOPLE AND CULTURE
Tamang, Sherpa, and Bhote are the principal inhabitants of this valley. These ethnic groups' culture is somewhat similar to Tibetan culture. The culture of these people is reflected in their homes, monasteries, chortens, and gumbas. The valley possesses bundles of traditions, culture, customs, rituals, and unique life perspectives. Explore these exquisite etiquettes of the region through the Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trek.
KYANJIN RI
Kyanjin Ri is a perfect viewpoint to see the majestic Langtang mountain range. It is at an elevation of 4,328m and quite challenging to reach the top of the hill. Moreover, ascending to the top of the hill is a significant highlight of the trek. However, once you are at the top of the hill, you will get to see the breathtaking views of Langtang Lirung (7,227m), Changbu (6,251m), Yubra (6,262m), Naya Kanga (5,844m), Yala peak (5,500m), Tserko Peak (5,749m) and Tsergo Ri (4,948m).
From the abovementioned peak, Yala Peak and Naya Kanga peak are pretty famous for peak climbing in Nepal. Moreover, taking a hike to Tsergo Ri is worthwhile. The journey to the spectacular Kyanjin Ri begins in a beautiful village, Kyanjin Gompa. Gompa translates as a monastery, and though the village's name is Kyanjin Gompa, the village itself is not Gompa. There is Gompa, where villagers perform their rituals and celebrate festivals.
LESS CROWD
The trail is perfect for you if you are not much of a crowd person. Since there are few trekkers in this region, you can experience much more than other treks in Nepal. You get to interact with more people and know broadly about the place and the culture. So, if you are looking for a gateway that will take you away from the stream of people, consider Langtang Valley Trek.
