18 Day Langtang Gosainkunda Trek

‘The only trek  which is the closest approach to get to the extraordinary views of the Himalayas, rich heritage and Himalayan lifestyle in Nepal’

 

The least visited yet most well-known trek destination of Nepal, Langtang Gosainkunda trek is almost a well-kept secret which lies closer to the Tibet border. The valley combines picturesque landscapes, snow-capped mountains and unique culture of locals similar to Tibet. The area is naturally as well as culturally outstanding, it is one of the popular destinations and attracts thousands of tourists each year.

Boudhnath Stupa

 A huge 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal in April 2015, killing nearly 9,000 people and destroying many more homes. Langtang Valley was among the badly suffered areas. Now, it has already been more than 3 years since the tragedy. Life is again becoming normal, Tea houses are rebuilt, and villages are reconstructed. By trekking in this region, locals will get the much-needed support and it will help them to raise their economic conditions. 

 

Your adventure starts in the colourful, chaotic, magical and utterly fascinating city of Kathmandu. Accompanied by a local guide, you will explore various temples, World heritage sites and wander through bazaars that are likely different from anything you have ever experienced.
