Langtang Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek

Our airport team will welcome you to the Tribhuvan International Airport. They will help you with your luggage to keep in the car and escort you to the hotel we have booked for you. As we have not planned anything particular on your arrival day, you'll have the remaining day free. You can explore Thamel and its busy streets. In the evening, you have a meeting with our manager. He will brief the program in detail and address your needs then he will introduce your trekking guide. 

Today you drive to Syabru Besi by local express bus after having breakfast at the hotel. It is the starting point of the trek. Leaving the bustle of Kathmandu city, the drive goes along lush green foothills and offers a glimpse of snow-capped mountains on the way. The guide will register the permits at Dhunche and drive on the zigzag road resuming to Syabru Besi.

After having a warm breakfast, we’ll begin trekking, crossing the Bhote Khola and the Langtang Khola. Walking on a grassland, we reach Pahiro via Dovan. From here, we enter dense forests and continue trekking to Bamboo. The trail then ascends along the Langtang Khola and crosses it before steeply ascending to Rimche. From here, it's another one-hour walk to the Lama Hotel.

Leaving Lama Hotel, the trail goes through dense forests, following the Langtang Khola. We trek through settlements like Gumnachock, Chhunama, and Ghodatabela. The trail ascends to Chyamki and continues to Langtang village through lush rhododendron forests. We'll see stunning mountain views of Langtang Himal, Langtang Lirung, Langshisha Peak, etc.

Today is a short and easy walking day. From Langtang village, we walk mostly flat paths passing by ancient mani walls, chortens, and stupas. The trail goes along lush pastures and rocky foothills to Kyanjin Gompa, an ancient monastery with fantastic mountain views. We'll have a lot of time to rest and explore the rest of the day. We can visit the cheese factory and monastery in the afternoon.

Today is our hiking day to reach our highest point. It is also called an acclimatization day in Kyanjin Gompa. To adjust to the altitude, we hike to a high elevation and back to Kyanjin Gompa to spend the night. For the hike, we hike up to Tserko Ri. The trail is rocky and steep, so we have to be careful especially coming down from the top. Upon reaching Tserko Ri, we see and witness surreal mountain landscapes and several surrounding towering snowy peaks. 

The trail today retraces the path back to Lama Hotel. From Kyanjin Gompa, we descend via pastures and cross many bridges & remote villages. The trail goes through dense forests and offers beautiful scenery along the way.

The trail continues to Ramche and descends to a river. Crossing the river, we ascend to Thulo Syabru via a rugged forested path. The views of Langtang Himal are phenomenal along the way. We also walk through lush forests of juniper and pine.

Leaving Thulo Syabru, we follow a wise trail and gradually ascend to Dimsa village. The trail further continues through hemlock, oak & rhododendron forests. We walk the uphill route to Sing Gompa, enjoying striking views of Langtang Himal and Langtang Valley. In Sing Gompa, we'll visit a popular cheese factory.

From Sing Gompa, the trail ascends through lush rhododendron forests to the top of the ridge. We keep walking through the forest to Cholanpani. This area has a high chance of seeing red pandas and other wildlife. As soon as we leave Cholanpanit, we walk over the treeline and the trail keeps ascending to Gosaikunda Lake via Lauribina. We may feel less oxygen while ascending to the ridge. The trail mostly goes gradually up to Gosaikunda Lake where we spend the night. We'll explore the lake and its nearby areas in the afternoon.

Today is a big day because we cross over the Laurebina Pass. From Gosaikunda, we walk on the trail along Gosaikunda Lake with a winding path to the foothill of the pass. It is one of the easiest passes in Nepal because the trail mostly goes gradually to the pass. You witness breathtaking mountain landscapes from the Top. After the Lauribina Pass, the trail steeply descends to Phedi where we have lunch. Then the trail goes ups and downs on meadows to reach Ghopte.

Today, we enter the gorgeous Helambu region. The trail traverses the forests of pine and rhododendrons. We walk on rocky paths and reach Thadepati. It is a little steep climb up to the Thadepati Pass that presents mesmerizing views of the Himalayan mountains. From here, we descend to Mangenghot where we take a lunch break. Then the trail resumes going down to Kutumsang for an overnight stay.

From Kutumsang, we walk on a community trail and pass by remote villages resided by Sherpas, Tamang, and Hyolmos. Walking along the hillside, we pass by lush forests and descend to Pati Bhanjyang. From here, we walk on a winding trail through dense forests to Chispani for a night's stay.

Today is our last day of Langtang Gosaikunda Lauribina Pass Trek. It is a short day too. We start our hike after breakfast at the tea house in Chisopani. The trail leads a steep climb through the forest for 30 minutes to reach the ridge, also known as Chisopani Pass. Then we descend to Sundarijal through dense forests including rhododendron, pine and oak trees. We also pass some nice settlement villages and rice terraces. Today we walk in the Shivapuri National Park. We have a lunch break at Sundarijal before we ride in our vehicle to drive to Kathmandu. The remaining day is free in Kathmandu, so you can shop and visit tourist sites. W

The Langtang Gosaikunda Laurebina Pass Trek with Helambu has come to an end. It's your last day in Kathmandu. Our team will drop you at the airport for your flight back home.
