Gosaikunda Trek - 11 Days

After all your preparation the previous day, we will pick you up at the hotel premises and start off our itinerary. Drive through the narrow hills alongside winding roads to get to the village of Syabrubesi. The village is just below the valley to Tibet. The village offers some old architectural designs and an old Seussian stupa. During the drive, we will be able to get great views of the Ganesh and Manaslu peaks.

Hike uphill from the village of Syabrubesi along the Langtang River. Get further uphill through the green lush forest until we get to a place called Bamboo. A nice picturesque place to have views of the Langtang peaks. After lunch at the village, we will walk uphill to get to the village of Rimche. The village is divided into two halves, upper and lower. Cross both of them to arrive at the village of Lama Hotel. We will encounter waterfalls and the sound of the rushing Langtang River all day long.

Wake up to the great views of the snow-capped peaks from the hotel. After breakfast, we will climb out of the village of Lama Hotel to arrive at the village of Ghoda Tabela. The name translates into the ‘stable for horses’. From the stable, we will climb uphill to get to the village of Thangshyap. Then an easy walk will take us to the village of Langtang. Along the way, we will be able to get great views of the Langtang Lirung. The new Langtang village is just 100 meters away from the previously destroyed location. There stand mani walls, with encryption of the people losing their lives in the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake.

The hike to the Gompa is flat and easy as we walk along the rough rocky path to get there. Along the way, we will be able to see the largest mani wall of Nepal. Kyanjin Gompa is home to the Kyanjin Monastery, a Yak Cheese factory, and a German bakery. Enjoy your day strolling around the village. Don’t forget to try the Yak Cheese and German Bakery items. Close your eyes with preparation for the next day.

An early wakeup call as we have to hike the peak of Tserko RI lying at a height of almost 5000 meters. An easy walk from the Gompa will take us to several yak pastures along the way. From there, we will hike uphill in a steep rocky trail to get to the top of the Tserko RI. Enjoy the panoramic views of the Langtang massif and get back down to the village of Kyanjin Gompa for an overnight stay.

Wake to the sunrise above the Langtang RI, Kyanjin RI, and the Tserko RI peaks. Fuel yourselves with fodder and then, start off with a hike downhill to get to the village of Langtang. From there, an easy walk downhill will take us to the village of Thangshyap and later to the village of Ghoda Tabela. A further downhill climb will take us back to the village of Lama Hotel

Follow the same route that led us here. We will head back down to the village of Rimche from where we will descend to the village of Bamboo. Hike through the green lush forest of bamboo before turning into a new intersection towards the village of Thulo Syabru instead of getting to Syabrubesi. Along the way to Thulo Syabru, we will be able to enjoy a high altitude waterfall.

Wake up to the glorious sunrise in Thulo Syabru and fill yourselves with a delicious meal. After the meal, we will hike uphill through the forest of rhododendron and pine to get to the village of Chandan Bari after passing the villages of Garta and Phulung. The village is also majorly known as the Sing Gompa. The village also contains one of the oldest Yak cheese factories in the country.

Climb out of the village of Sing Gompa to hike uphill through lush pine forest to get to the village of Cholongpati. A hike uphill will take us to the village of Lauribinayak. From there, a steep climb uphill will take us to the hilltop of Laurebinayak. Get great views of the Ganesh and Langtang Himalayan Ranges from there. After lunch here, we will hike uphill and again descend to get to a gorge. A flat walk from there will take us to the holy lakes of Gosaikunda. There are a total of 108 lakes in its outskirts with the Gosaikunda being the major lake. The lake melts into the Trishuli River and is seen to be frozen 6 months a year. Enjoy the views of the icy lake of Gosaikunda along with the Gosaikunda range of Himalayas.

Further downhill climb through pine forest will take us to the village of Sing Gompa. After lunch at the Gompa, we will hike downhill through the village of Ramche to finally get to our destination.
