    Langtang Valley And Gosainkunda Pass Trekking - 16 days

    Recommendation for Chandra Subba

    My name is Kazik Pichlak. I am a medical doctor, general and oncologic surgeon, with the passion for exploring  all possible  mountains in the world, but particularly Himalaya. In Nepal,   I have been 16 times.
    I cooperate with Mr Chandra and his agency Himalayan Icefall Trekking for many years. He arranged for me and my friends 10 trekkings to different parts of Himalaya and Tibet. Some of them  were standard trekkings, but some were very challenging to remote parts of Himalaya or, for example, with the passes above 6000 metres. All of these were always under the wing of Chandra agency.
    Twice I had serious health problems. Mr Chandra organized very effective help immediately – evacuation from mountain area by helicopter.
    All our trekkings were arranged perfectly. Mr Chandra and his agency’s team are the experts in leading excellent, unforgettable Himalaya trips.
    I recommend with all my heart Mr Chandra’s agency. He and his team guarantee the best service when exploring Himalaya.

    Langtang – Gosaikunda is the nearest trekking region from Kathmandu. This trek combines the remote and spectacular valley of Langtang, with the high mountains, and high altitude lakes at Gosainkunda and Tibet border to the north. We travel through Trisuli Bazaar and Dhunche to Syabrubesi, a Sherpa village located at the very edge of the Langtang National Park and next to Bhotekoshi River. We then trek east into the Langtang valley, crossing the few rivers, as we trek up along a gorge-like, lower section of the valley. We pass through oak and rhododendron forests and even cross glacial moraine on our way to the Tamang village of Langtang. A little further up the valley is Kyangin Gompa, where we stop overnight and sample the local yak cheese. We also climb Tserko Ri for excellent mountain views of Langtang lirung ranges and Glaciers.
    Next, we continue trekking in the beautiful Langtang Valley and reach Gosaikunda which is a revered place of pilgrimage for both Buddhists and Hindus. Moreover, the place is named after the glistening Gosaikunda Lake whose water is believed to have magical healing powers.
    Highlight: Beautiful Hidden valley, Tibetan Sherpa culture, Old Tamang villages, Holy lakes, High pass, trekking in a hilly region, Rhododendron flower in many different colors, and a beautiful trace of the field and Panoramic views of Mountains ranges.
