Gosainkunda Helambu Trek

The Gosaikunda Helambu trek takes you north of Kathmandu to explore the beautiful Langtang region before joining the Helambu region. This adventurous trek offers stunning mountain landscapes in a less-crowded part of the Himalayas. The trek passes through two national parks: Langtang National Park and Shivapuri National Park.

The Gosaikunda Helambu Trek is a short nine-day trek that allows you to escape into nature and unwind. Along the journey, you'll have the opportunity to experience Nepal's ancient religious roots closely. The trek provides a deep immersion into Hindu beliefs connected to Gosaikunda Lake and Surya Kunda Lake. You'll spend nights in the homes of locals and have intimate interactions.

Trip Highlights & Attractions

The trek route is filled with diverse vegetation, flora, and fauna. Along the way, you may encounter various animals, herders, and many species of birds. A local guide will lead the trek and provide valuable insights into the region and its residents.

Additionally, you'll come across numerous stupas, mani walls, and prayer wheels scattered along the trail. Colourful prayer flags mark central areas. Despite the challenging environment of trekking in the Himalayas, you'll be deeply connected to Nepalese cultural sentiments. This is what makes the 9-day Gosaikunda Helambu trek extraordinary.
