The Langtang - Gosainkunda trek offer
an opportunity for the trekkers and adventurers to
follow in Bill Tillman's wake and rediscover the
Himalayan passes, pristine valley and diverse ethno-
culture he found in 1949. Though easily accessible from
Kathamandu it remains relatively unspoiled and less
developed trekking in Nepal. Several great days of
pleasant Langtang Gosainkunda trekking through dense
forest and traditional ethnic settlements takes you to
the holy Gosaikunda Lake and alpine yak pasture of
Kyangin gompa, while the mountain views are genuinely
inspiring. Over the years this Gosainkunda has become
one of the sacred pilgrimage sites for Shamans, the
traditional witch doctors, as well as many Hindu and
Buddhist devotees. A cross over the Laurebina Pass at an
altitude of 4620 meter with an excellent view into Tibet
is simply breathtaking.

prepared to be flexible if necessary.
Experience Required :This Trek is
suitable for keen walkers who are able to walk
for 6 – 7 hours in a day, with a light rucksack.
Some of the days are quite long, and the walking
feels more strenuous at altitude. Generally the
trail is a good track, but occasionally it will
be uneven and rocky.

accommodated in teahouses whilst on trek. A
teahouse is a local run guesthouse, but
standards vary enormously. In popular areas such
as Everest, teahouses are more like hotels, with
hot water, Western food and private rooms
