Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trek

You will be driving to Dhunche, about 7 hours away by bus after an early morning meal. It’s a breathtaking drive that passes through a spectacular landscape. After arrival to Dhunce in the late afternoon you will be making your mind to head to Langtang in the evening.

We can see SyabruBensi from the road that divides in Pahiro, passing through the Bamboo settlement. We’ve been heading up to ThuloSyabru village for the last few hours. ThuloSyabru is a lovely Tamang town of Langtang, which is relatively more important.

We walk uphill slowly along the bamboo and oak forest after breakfast, visit the village of Deurali and Dimsa and enter Sing Gompa for overnight. Sing Gompa has a well-known temple, so it’s really popular in the area. The location has a large view of the himalayan scenery of Langtang.

Today’s trek to Gosaikunda ‘s holy lake is special. This path is one of the most scenic on the entire trip as we pass pastures and small streams to Gosaikunda. The most important lake of our tour is Gosaikunda. Nevertheless, the town is surrounded by over hundreds of small and large lakes. Within a few hours of walking, all these beautiful lakes can be reached.

We will begin our day trip to Gopte after having seen the lovely sunrise from Gosaikunda. Next, we’ll find the Lauribina La pass, also the highest point of our trek. We will continue our uphill rocky ascent to Pass Lauribina through three small lakes along the way. When in the peak, the rocky hills and the snow-covered mountains of the horizon are breathtaking, at 360 degrees. We will continue the descent to the village of Gopte after spending some time on the road.

You walk steeply up Melamchi Gaon through settlements like Nakotegaon, where you pass the Melamchi Bridge before reaching them. You can enter Melamchi Gaon after almost two hours passing this iron bridge with steep uphill trails. A monastery, a church, chortening, flags of the priests are floating in the sky, and a few cabins and lodges are seen. The panoramic views of this village are lush hills. In fact, there is an ancient cave with a background of legend, which was once home for Guru Ringboche.

From the pass, the trail goes down to Tarkeghyang, surrounded by a small settlement by a pine and rhododendron tree. One of the oldest Buddhist monasteries can be visited here, along with Sherpa villages. Such villages are populated by wealthy, well-settled and very prosperous local residents. We are very wealthy.

It takes nearly four hours. This day, the walk through open country with spectacular trees on the way is much smoother. You pass along the way across a few small streams. On the way to Shermathang there is a lovely village. To add to your happiness, Shermathang is another lovely town where some old monasteries can be visited. Through the north side of the village of Shermathang you can see the Jugal Himal.

It takes five hours or so. The path proceeds slowly across wetlands and planted fields to Melamchi Pul Bazaar. You will encounter some old villages with a different history along the way. Walking this day is really fun, because it connects with local people with mountain views.

You travel through a gravel and bumpy path up to Lamidanda and then you follow the pitched road up to Kathmandu.

Sightseeing in historical and cultural places in Kathmandu valley(Pashupati, Monkey Temple, BouddhaNath, Patan darbar square.). At evening farewell dinner.

Today our airport representative will transfer you to the Kathmandu International Airport for your flight back to home after early morning breakfast.
