Langtang-Gosaikunda trekking is said to be one of the pleasing trips in Nepal which begin from Kathmandu which is followed by a drive to Syabrubesi. The adventure takes you to the beautiful Langtang Valley in the Langtang region of the Himalaya with high mountain lakes at Gosaikunda. Langtang region was once affected by natural disaster including earthquake and landslides. After the region was declared safe, many tourists began to head towards the Langtang Valley. Langtang Valley Trek is also known as the valley of glaciers trek. This is the closest place where you can get beautiful views of snowcapped mountains and glaciers. The valley is surrounded by Mt. Langtang Lirung and it offers different pine forests, swift mountain streams, rugged rock and snow-capped peaks. We pass through several oak and rhododendron forests and then cross glacial moraine on the way to the Tamang village of Langtang.

Our 16 days tours towards Langtang Valley with Gosaikunda pass trek starts from Kathmandu. We drive towards Syabrubesi with views of different beautiful mountains and settlements. We start to trek from the lower region of Langtang Valley across small villages, farmlands and verdant forest towards Kyangjing Gumba. We pass through Nubamatang which is found to be nestled in a hidden valley. We travel through Syabru to a high plateau where the sacred lake Gosaikunda is located. After crossing Llaurenebena Pass, we trek to the south towards the Helambu valley to Gul Bhanjyang. Our exciting trek ends back in Kathmandu where we started.

Fünf Tage Poonhill, sechs Tage Gosainkunda...und das nächste Mal? Es wird bestimmt kommen!!! Jeder Trek war ein Erlebnis. Hari hat die Gabe, die Interessen und Wünsche seiner Klienten zu lesen, ohne dass man diese äußern muss. Spätestens am zweiten Tag weiß er, wie schnell man laufen kann, wo man für ein Foto oder einen Tee verweilen möchte. Alle Reisenden, denen wir unterwegs begegnet sind, waren neidisch, da Hari bei jeder Pause seinen Rucksack öffente, Käse, Äpfel, Orangen oder Kekse für die kleine Zwischenmahlzeit herausholte.
Und das Wichtigste: Ich habe mich zu jeder Zeit sicher gefühlt, auch auf unbekannten Wegen, die wir aufgrund von Wetterereignissen einschlagen mussten. Hari kennt und liebt sein Land. Ich habe selten eine fremde Kultur so umfangreich kennenlernt. Vielen Dank und....

Bis bald!

We made the Langtang Trek with Charming Guide Adventure Trek (Gosainkund included) and travelled through Mustang – also known as the former kingdom of Lo. We will always think of these two trips as an unforgettable experience. Our special thanks to our ever cheerful mountain guide Mr Hari Kumar Khatri and his competent crew. But also the unique landscape of Nepal, the wonderful villages and the very polite Nepalese people rendered these trips a truly memorable experience.We enjoyed our treks from the very start to the very end and went home wishing to come back soon. No wonder that we have already booked our next journey - the Manaslu trek is waiting for us and we are looking forward to it
