Langtang Gosainkunda Helambhu Trekking - 18 Days
The Langtang- Gosainkunda region is a collection of Sherpa
valleys north of Kathmandu, close to the Tibetan border. The rough road now
reaches as far as Dunche, only a day’s drive from Kathmandu. Yet, despite this,
Langtang remains a relatively less trekked area. Bill tillman, a famous
explorer and climbing partner of Eric Shipton, described Langtang as one of the
world’s most beautiful valleys. We exit by passing the holy lake of Gosainkunda
and crossing the Laurebina La (4100 m.). Here, you will have excellent view
into Tibet and meet Hindu pilgrims before gradually dropping down the ridges
and driving back to Kathmandu.
The Langtang valley is aptly called " the valley of
glaciers". Here the mountain–scape is spectacular. On either side of
valley, mountains rise, soaring into the sky. The valley offers pine forest,
slow moving rivers and swift mountain streams, rugged rock and snow–capped
peaks, grassy downs and meadows strewn with daisies and wild primulas. In the
upper part of valley there are snow bridges spanning angry torrents, high
passes enveloped in mist, tiny lakes with icebergs floating on them and water
of crystalline brightness. There are also high mountains of solid ice.
Starts with an overland journey to Dunche, the main trading
post of the area. From here we spend four days hiking up through this beautiful
alpine valley to Kyangjin where we rest for a day for some exploration of the
high mountains and glacial systems. Here, mountains rise soaring towards the
sky. The landscapes we cross are extremely varied; rice- terraces, gigantic
rhododendron, pine forest, and in the highest parts, a rock and shrub wilderness
with the fascinating backdrop of snow capped peaks. This trek also provides a
chance to observe one of a holy site of Hindu and Buddhist the sacred
Gosainkunda Lake. We cross the Laurebina pass (4600 meters) and drop into the
lush Helambu region and different cultural experiences eventually finishing the
trek an hours drive from Kathmandu. This trek offers fascinating views of
Langtang range, Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakap, Nayakanga, and Langshisa etc.
