The third day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek starts with a 7–8-hour jeep or bus drive to Syabrubesi. When we are out of the city, we cross meandering roads through terraced fields, green hills, and traditional villages.

The ride provides breathtaking river scenery and a few glimpses of the Himalayas. The ride is scenic, with some areas being rough, but due to the varies in landscapes.

When we get to the starting point of the Gosaikunda trekking, that is, Syabrubesi, we get all settled, have a look around the village, and get last-minute arrangements in the trail as per the Langtang Gosaikunda trek itinerary.

On the fourth day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, we start by leaving Syabrubesi and take a quiet path along the Langtang River. The walk will last 6-7 hours and will go through a heavy forest of rhododendron, oak, and bamboo plants.

We slowly climb along the small villages such as Bamboo and Rimche, enjoying the relaxing sight and sound of the flowing rivers and the opportunity of wildlife sightseeing.

In the afternoon, we arrive at Lama Hotel, which is a serene Lama village and the right place to rest during our Langtang Gosaikunda trek itinerary.

This day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek starts with an easy climb through a forest of pines and rhododendron trees.

On our climb, the valley expands, and very beautiful landscapes of Langtang Lirung and other peaks are seen.

We walk by Ghodatabela, and the scene changes to larger meadows and tea houses. This path is gradually uphill, and we pass through Tamang villages, prayer walls, and yak fields.

By the afternoon, we reach Langtang Village, a pretty and culturally diverse village, an essential destination on the Gosaikunda trek.

Our sixth day in the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek provides us with a 4-5-hour trek from Langtang Village and Kyanjin Gompa. The route is easy and picturesque and leads through a stretch of open meadows, yak herds, and ancient mani walls.

The view expands on top, and we can see some stunning Langtang Lirung, Tserko Ri, and other peaks.
When we arrive at the serene alpine village of Kyanjin Gompa, we walk around the old monastery, attend the local cheese factory, or take acclimatization walks. It is a place where we make a memorable experience in the Gosaikunda trekking adventure.

The 7th day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is one of the most rewarding days because we hike to the summit of Tserko Ri. We start out trip early in the morning and have a very steep, yet spectacular 7-8 hour climb through rocky trails and high ridges.

As we climb, the views are seen to be expanding tremendously, showing Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Yala Peak, and a breathtaking 360-degree Himalayan panorama. The peak is unbelievable, and it provides a serene view above the clouds.

When we are satisfied with the scenery, we go down to Kyanjin Gompa to have some rest and sightseeing.

This is a memorable experience that adds value to our Gosaikunda trekking journey and fulfills one of the biggest milestones of the Langtang Gosaikunda trek itinerary.

On the 8th day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, we will be starting with a gradual downhill walk back from Kyanjin Gompa through the lovely Langtang Valley to Lama Hotel.

The 6–7-hour walk provides some stunning scenery such as snow-capped mountains, open meadows, and serene forests.

Going through Langtang Village and Ghodatabela, we have a different view of the scenery we observed previously.

The downward slope is not strenuous but should be meticulously footed. Then we proceed on the riverbanks and woodlands that are thick before arriving at Lama Hotel towards the end of the afternoon.

This is a trek that is a necessary segment of the Gosaikunda trek, which is perfectly suited to our Langtang Gosaikunda trek schedule.

On the 9th and final day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, we will be making a breathtaking trip of 5-6 hours by visiting the very scenic village of Thulo Syabru located between the Lama Hotel and Sing Gompa.

We start by descending through a serene pine, bamboo, and rhododendron forest, listening to the rippling sounds of the river and the mountain here and there. This path then ascends continuously to Thulo Syabru, through small settlements and terraced land.

As we move towards the village, there is a breathtaking view of the ridge top, and there is a friendly cultural environment.

The arrival of Thulo Syabru is a fine start in our trekking journey of Gosaikunda and a smooth passage to continue our trek in the Langtang Gosaikunda trek program.

The 10th day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek starts with the gradual ascent of Thulo Syabru to the peaceful village of Sing Gompa.

The 5-6-hour walk will take us through heavily packed rhododendron and oak forests where we breathe the fresh mountain air and occasionally see wildlife.

As we climb the altitude, the landscape of the Ganesh Himal and the Langtang range is more stunning. The path is easily tracked and leads slowly into a peaceful upland region. After arriving at Sing Gompa, we visit the local monastery and cheese factory.

This addition would be a great enhancement to our Gosaikunda trekking trip and would perfectly fit in our Langtang Gosaikunda trek program.

On day 11 of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, we make our way on a short but fruitful 3-4-hour hike from Sing Gompa to Lauribinayak. The path to the house is a slow climb through pine and rhododendron bushes, with a peaceful environment and cool mountain air.

The topography becomes more spectacular as we become more elevated and we have wide panoramic views of the Langtang range, Ganesh Himal, and the Tibetan mountains in the far. The last phase is steeper, but it is an exceptionally scenic part.

It is a good place to be in Lauribinayak with its beautiful ridgeline location and serene environment- a motivational moment in our Langtang Gosaikunda trekking trip and a significant destination in the Langtang Gosaikunda trek schedule.

Day 12 of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek will take us on an amazing 4–5-hour hike through Lauribinayak to the holy lake of Gosaikunda.

The trail ascends gradually up a high ridgeline with amazing views of the Langtang range, Ganesh Himal, and endless rolling hills.

We are now headed to the alpine region, where the scenery is rough and dramatic, and the mountain air is brisk. When we arrive at the Gosaikunda Lakes- the spiritual centre of Gosaikunda trekking, we visit the shrines on the lakeside and spend the rest of the day there, relaxing.

This is a memorable sight that is a great destination of the Langtang Gosainkunda trek program.

Day 13 of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is one of the toughest days that would pay off when we cross the high Lauribina Pass. The 7-8-hour trek starts with the gradual ascent to an altitude past Gosaikunda Lake, passing through rocky fields and alpine spots.

Attainment of the pass allows splendid sights of the Langtang range, Manaslu, and the highlands. The path down to Ghopte is very steep and rugged, and one has to take care of the way using narrow forested paths.

When we arrive at the quiet village of Ghopte, we are immensely proud of ourselves.

This challenging part is a favorite attraction of the Gosaikunda trekking and a major landmark in the Langtang Gosaikunda trek itinerary.

Our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek on the 14th day of the trek will be a long but beautiful trek, as we will go over a long 7–8-hour trek to Kutumsang along Thadepati. The path starts with a slow climb through the thick pine and rhododendron woods and comes to the high, windy ridge of Thadepati.

Here we command a wide range of the Helambu valley and remote snow-capped mountains.

The road continues to decline gradually through some woody hills and ancient villages, creating a refreshing break in the scenery. Towards the end of the afternoon, we arrive at Kutumsang, a quiet village that receives tired travelers.

This scenic path will add more pleasure to our Gosaikunda trekking experience, and it will be an inseparable part of the Langtang Gosaikunda trek itinerary.

The 15th day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek will start with a nice downhill walk (unusual for Langtang Gosaikunda Trek) through the ancient villages, terraced plots, and lots of trees.

The ride that takes about 6-7 hours is serene and takes place in clean mountain air. We move on, and the road leads gently up and up towards Chisapani, a lovely hilltop village that commands a panoramic sunrise and sunset over the Himalayas.

The shifting sceneries, whereby forests have been transformed into open ridges, make the trek fun and different. As the afternoon comes around, we arrive at Chisapani and rest and enjoy the peaceful scenery.

It is a rewarding day that can further be termed as a memorable chapter in our Gosaikunda trekking experience, and is a natural flow to the Langtang Gosaikunda trek itinerary.

On the 16th day of our Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, this is the last leg of our expedition as we climb Chisapani and to Sundarijal.

The 4-5 hour hike starts with a tranquil hike in the Shivapuri National Park with thick forests, running streams, and a wildlife-abundant environment.

Slowly, this path leads us down to Sundarijal, where we leave the park and get our vehicle. It is at this point that we take a drive back to Kathmandu, back to the bustling city environment.

This pleasant final day completes our Gosaikunda trekking trip on a pleasant note and brings to an end the satisfying experience that is represented in our Langtang Gosaikunda trek itinerary.

This brings your trip to completing its mission as you are now ready to head out to other countries in Kathmandu. We also drop you off at Tribhuvan International Airport, after having your final breakfast, and you should have plenty of time to check in and undergo security checks.

When you are waiting to go to the airport, you can examine the amazing scenery, culture, and wonderful moments that you have acquired on your hiking trip.

You close the doors of your plane home with an adventure-filled heart and the essence of the Himalayas as baggage. We hope that you will be safe when you are traveling and that we will see you in Nepal again.
