Langtang

The Gosaikunda lake is also an alpine freshwater oligotrophic lake in the Langtang National Park of Nepal, located at an altitude of 13.8 hectares (34 acres) at an altitude of 4,380 meters in Rasuwa district. The lake melts and becomes the Trishuli River; in winter season the lake will be frozen or ice for six months from October to June.

Usually the “Tamang Heritage Trail” trek ends at Shyabru Besi but we have combined this trek with Kyangjin Gompa so the trek will end at the height of 2,238 Khangjim village. Khangjim is the midpoint of Briddim and Shyabru Besi. From here, we follow the main trails of the Langtang Valley Trek to Kyangjin Gompa. During the trek, we will explore the Langtang Valley and follow the roaring Langtang River that cuts through the gorge. After Ghoretabela, the valley opens up into grasslands and small farming settlements. Here we will cross the very long Buddhist Gem Wall. During the trek we will pass through the old village of Langtang.

Helambu Circuit Trek is a great destination as well as a fun and easy trek with the highest trekking point at only 3,690 meters.

The Helambu region extends from Lauribina La Pass to the Melamchi Valley. During the trek, you will visit several Tibetan-style Buddhist monasteries, shrines and stupas while passing through some Sherpa and Tamang villages. This trek is less crowded, yet the nature amazes you with its beauty.
