Gosaikunda Langtang Chisapani Trek is a rewarding, culturally rich and scenic trek. With
breathtaking viewscapes, religious importance and cultural heritage. The trek provides a great
opportunity to explore out in the Langtang region. Renowned for its dramatic mountain scenery of
peaks, meadows, dense green forests, and ethnic Sherpa and Tamang villages. The trek begins with a
7-8 hour mountain road, rice field, and forest scenic drive from Kathmandu (1,400m) to Syabrubesi
(1,460m). The trekkers get glimpses of the relatively richer Tamang culture and, if time allows, a side
excursion to hot water springs in Dhunche.
Walk is over a broad sweep of countryside, from dense rhododendron forest to glacial moraines and
alpine meadows. Highlights are serene Langtang Village, and arguably the most beautiful, busiest
village you will ever encounter anywhere, and serene Kyanjin Gompa, with monastery and local
cheese factory. Trek also provides good views of Langtang Lirung, Langtang Ri, and Yala Peak
mountains and Himalayan flora and fauna such as black bears and red pandas.
Spiritual highlight of the trek is sacred Gosaikunda Lakes, Hindu shrine of high-altitude. Scenic
glacial lakes facing Langtang and Ganesh Himal peaks are serene and spiritually renewing. Trek
through the representative Tamang and Sherpa villages, where traditional way of life and hospitality
are revealed, completes the trek.
The trek involves walking over rhododendron, waterfalls, and valley’s terrace trails and is a mix of
nature and culture. The final leg of the trek is to Chisapani from where sunrises and sunset view of
Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Dorje Lakpa mountain ranges can be admired. The trek concludes with
a downhill trail going through Newari villages and woodland trails to Sundarijal and then eventually
to Kathmandu.
Langtang Trek from Chisapani and Gosaikunda is a combined trek, a fusion of nature, culture, and
spirituality. Its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and religious value all contribute towards making
this trek an unforgettable Himalayan experience to be relished by the trekkers who are not looking for
adventure alone but also introspection.
