Langtang Gosaikunda trek unites the outlying & picturesque ‘Langtang Valley’, with the high mountain lakes ‘Gosaikunda’, at an altitude of 4,380m. The lake spreads across 34 acres, with the spectacular views of Mighty Langtang Lirung and other sky-high peaks on the backdrop. The lake melts and sips down to form the Trishuli River and remains frozen for six months during winter from October to June. Hence, ideally starting langtang gosaikunda trekking from Trishuli River, north of Kathmandu, we travel through Dhunche to Syabru Bensi, a Sherpa village placed at the edge of “The Langtang National Park”. Passing along the dense oak & rhododendron forests and even the glacial moraine at places, we make it to the popular Tamang village of Langtang.
We extend langtang gosaikunda with overnight stay at Kyanjin Gompa, a great place to try local yak cheese. Further up, we move through Nubamatang, settled in a hidden valley, on our way up to see the glaciers, which is also a gateway to Tibet. At this point, we reverse for langtang and gosaikund trek through Syabru and Sing Gompa to a high plateau, where the sacred lake of ‘Gosaikunda’ is placed. The Gosaikunda area has been delineated as a religious site. Hindu mythology attributes Gosaikunda as the abode of Hindu deities Lord Shiva and Goddess Gauri. The Hindu scriptures Bhagavata Purana and Vishnu Purana, and the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata refer to Samudra manthan, which is directly related to the origin of Gosaikunda.
Its holy waters are considered of particular significance during Gangadashahara and the sacred thread festival Janai Purnima when thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India visit the area. Gosaikunda is believed to have formed from the digging of the land by the Trishul (holy Trident) of lord Shiva. Accordingly, langtang gosaikunda treks is equally famous for gosaikunda holy lake trekking. Langtang gosaikunda lake trek has got everything from natural beauty, mountains, fascinating lake to great religious belief.
Finally crossing the laurebina pass (4600m), we descend to Ghopte and end the trek upon reaching Sundarijal.

Amazing Langtang Gosaikunda Trek
8th November, 2022
I did not quite know what to anticipate when I signed up with Skyline treks and expedition for our group trip to Langtang Gosainkunda but I can simply speak out this far exceeded any of my anticipation and I would greatly advise Skyline treks to anyone. Without overemphasizing the matter, this was our groups’ first trip; we had taken where we left was sense of achievement.

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek
8th November, 2022
Responsible, reliable and rattling…. These three words demonstrated by Skyline treks and team in my Langtang valley via Gosainkunda Lake trek.
Swinging in the joy of nature for 17 days I had an absolutely awesome time in the Himalayas.
For my part, the key intent was to explore Gosainkunda, the oligotrophic Lake at 4,380 meters and I experienced that, the lake is for devotees and as well for adventurer trekkers, the strong and consistent gusts that blow across the freshwater of the lake is the prime attraction.
I was incredibly supported by my trek guide Nima Sherpa, so duty bounded and caring guy. I greatly recommend the entire team of Skyline trekking company.
