Life of ours. Take the trek to choose what you want to do and do it well. The trek to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the trek to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the trek to control our own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the trek to make us happy life the way of Langtang Helambu Gosaikunda Trek.

The beautiful journey in Nepal through quaint villages, lush forests, that combines a unique and one of the best trekking trails in Langtang Himalayan ranges. Therefore making Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu Trek a complete trek.

Beginning with, the drive from Kathmandu to Syabru Bensi, which takes to the Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu trek. This trek gains elevation as we make the way along the Langtang Khola, first through traditional, ethnic Tamang heritage villages. This trek offers an opportunity to explore villages, to climb small peaks and to visit glaciers and sacred lakes at a comfortably low elevation. Most of this region falls into Langtang National Park, which offers pine forest, rhododendron, bamboo forests on the higher reaches of the trek, swift mountain streams, rugged rock, and snow-capped peaks, grassy downs, and meadows strewn with daisies and wild animals.

Every destination in this trail has a calm setting and positive energy rinsing a soul with the joy of traveling and the friendly Sherpa village of Kyanjing, where you will experience the spiritual lifestyle of dedicated Buddhist monks who perform their rituals in a beautiful Monastery. Stopping by the lovely settlements with stone patched houses gives the fundamental experience of life in the Himalayas.

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. We pass by a few more lakes on our trek and cross the Laurebina Pass. Our trek in the Helambu Valley begins after crossing the pass. Another highlight of our hike is to reach the top of Ama Yangri at 3,800m. The view of the Himalayas from the top of the hill is believed to rival that of Poon Hill. From here, Mt. Shishapangma and the Langtang ranges seem so close that we feel that we can almost touch them. We continue trekking in the Helambu region for a few more days and end our remarkable journey to the mountains with a drive to Kathmandu.
