A cultural enriching trek with amazing views of the Himalayas in the Langtang, Gosaikunda and Helambu regions of Nepal.
This trek passed through lush forests, quaint villages, abundant wildlife and outstanding views of the majestic Himalayas. This 17-day trek begins in Kathmandu with tours of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Then will drive to Syabrubesi which is a Tamang village located on the banks of the Bhote Koshi River and begin our trek. Reach Kyanjin Gompa and then climb Tserko Ri the next day. From here will get tremendous views of the Langtang Lirung (7200m/23,622ft) range.
Next, we continue journey in the beautiful Langtang Valley and reach Gosaikunda which is a revered place of pilgrimage for Buddhists and Hindus. The place is named after the Gosaikunda Lake whose water is believed to have magical healing powers.
We then pass by a few more lakes and cross the Laurebina Pass. Our trek in the Helambu Valley begins after crossing the pass. Another highlight is to reach the top of Ama Yangri at 3,800-meter.
The view of the Himalayas from the top of the hill is believed to rival that of Poon Hill. From here, Mount Shishapangma and the Langtang ranges seem so close where you can almost touch them.
Continue trekking in the Helambu region for a few more days and end our remarkable journey to the mountains with a drive back to Kathmandu.
