Nepal's Langtang Helambu Trek Package is an amazing 15-day expedition that mixes trekking in the beautiful Langtang Valley, visiting the holy lakes of Gosaikunda, and soaking up the cultural vibes of the Helambu Valley. The Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu Trek is a great choice for those who want to go to spectacular places, see traditional Himalayan villages, and get in touch with the spirit, but without the crowds of Everest or Annapurna.

The trek to be suitable for trekkers is packed with the beauty of the high Himalayan passes, beautiful alpine lakes and majestic mountain views. Plus you get to know a tiny bit of the Tamang and Hyolmo culture. No need for domestic flights or overcrowded trails for this trek.

Langtang Helambu Trek Overview


The Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu Trek brings together the best parts of three totally different experiences:

Langtang Valley Trek: Visit Langtang Village, alpine meadows, and glacial rivers and enjoy the sights of towering peaks like Langtang Lirung and Dorje Lakpa.

Gosaikunda Lakes: This is a trip to the feature lakes that both Hindu and Buddhist believers admire most, and the path goes up to the main Gosaikunda lake by passing the Laurebina La Pass (4,610 m).

Helambu Valley: You will go down alongside the Hyolmo villages and the terraced hills, enjoying the local culture and the monastery there.

Begins from the north of Kathmandu and finishes near the Kathmandu Valley, the whole trail is open to road traffic so it is much more convenient to access than some of the treks which depend entirely on flights for journeys.Although the access is easier, the trail leads rapidly into very isolated mountain areas within Langtang National Park.
