Package Details

Langtang Gosaikunda and Helambu Trekking combines three distinct locations for comprehensive coverage. Simply put, the Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu hiking route is intended for all hikers and, in general, to enjoy the Himalayan treasure's hidden natural beauty. The inner valley of the Langtang region is a combination of the high Himalayan valley and the low temperate valley, and it is home to several species of endangered fauna, including the red panda, deer, common leopard, snow leopard, wild goats, and various types of birds that are in danger of extinction, as well as several species of flora that are well preserved. Rhododendrons, orchids, and colorful magnolias bloom profusely in the spring, providing breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks. As a result, the traditional method of exploring the entire Langtang region will make you reconsider what we have planned for those seeking a nomadic experience for life.

The hiking trail will be diverted to the sacred lake site of Gosainkunda after spending the days exploring this nomadic region. The sacred lake of Gosainkunda is the most popular pilgrimage site for Hindu and Buddhist groups. It attracts a large number of visitors, particularly during the August full moon. There is also a festive time when many shamans gather to demonstrate their shamanic rituals in order to claim rights in a traditional manner. After visiting this sacred lake, the trail will descend to the Helambu Valley via the Laurebina Pass (4,610 m). The Helambu Valley is rich in cultural heritage for the entire region, and hikers can enjoy the local hospitality of Sherpa and Tamang in a pleasant climate. This Langtang, Gosaikunda, and Helambu region is best known for trekking to tea houses, where you can also organize a camp. The Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trek may be the best trekking destination for anyone who enjoys natural landscapes, various cultural practices, and biodiversity.
