Langtang-Gosaikunda-Helambu Trek

Overview And Highlights Book This Trip

The trails take you across sacred lakes, into lush green Rhododendron forest and continue up to scenic hamlets where you will find yourself surrounded by the stunning views of some of the tallest peaks in the world. As you hike through the rich landscape of the region the beautiful facets of nature mesmerizes you.

Langtang is a narrow valley that lies just south of the Tibetan border. It is sandwiched between the main Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. Langtang has over 70 glaciers of varying sizes. The three major areas are Langtang, Gosainkunda (a holy lake at 4300m) and Helambu.

Gosainkunda is a sacred lake, which is very important for both Hindus and Buddhists.
Helambu valley is very famous for its natural beauty and wonderful climate with the superb views of the magnificent snow-covered mountains. The area covers typical highland Sherpa villages along with beautiful Rhododendron forests.
