Langtang - Gosainkund Trek

Just south of Langtang is Gosainkund (4380-m), the site of several sacred lakes that see thousands of Hindu pilgrims coming to worship and bathe in its water during the full moon between mid-July & mid-August. This is an enhanced version of our 15-day Langtang Valley Trek for those with more time on their hand and an interest to see more of the region.

This trek to the spectacular Langtang Valley and the holy lakes of Gosainkund offers an opportunity to explore villages, to climb surrounding small peaks up to 5000-m or higher (such as the wonderful hike up Tsergo Ri 4984-m) and to visit glaciers at a comfortably moderate elevation. The trail itself offers trekkers an exceptional diversity of scenery and culture. Highly recommended for those looking for the opportunity to stand atop a snow-clad Himalaya peak.
