Explore the nature and culture together

Langtang circuit trek starts with a drive to Syabrubesi village and then one hikes to beautiful Langtang valley. Once reaching Kyanjin Gompa, we get to enjoy the charming views of surrounding mountains and we leave the valley heading towards holy Gosaikunda lake, where thousands of pilgrims from Hinduism and Buddhism visit for a holy bathe once a year in the month of August at Full Moon day. The final step will be going over the highest pass of the east and also the highest spot of this adventure, Lauribina pass before heading back towards Kathmandu. The best point of Langtang valley with Gosaikunda lake trekking is that almost anyone can join this trip and complete it no matter if you are a beginner or a professional trekker. Since Langtang trekking not as much popular as other regions (which can change in coming years), you won’t find a lot of visitors in this region. Spring and autumn is again the best time to do this journey. Detailed Itinerary: Day 01: Arrival in Kathmandu, D, Hotel Welcome to Nepal.
