back down along the same trail and climbing steadily through terraced fields, picturesque Thulo Shyabru Tamang village to holistic Gosaikund Lake is a stunning experience. The trail hikes through the beautiful alpine forest up to the enthusiastic place Lauri Bina yak (a yak herder without a stick). The trail usually goes steadily through the serene ridge with the magical outlook of the world's eighth highest Mt. Manaslu 8,163m, the Annapurna range, the Holy Ganesh Himal range, the Paldor peak, and the Tibetan plateau North across the distance Himalaya. The romantic and enjoyable walk will finally drop you at Sacred Lake. There are different Lakes with different ritual names. The Gosaikund is an equally important holy site for Hindus and Buddhists. The full Moon time in August is the major ceremony day at Gosaikund Lake, thousands of pilgrims attend PUJA on that day. The water springs out just a little higher than the Lake. Hindu Mythology believes the water source was pulled out of the earth by the Devine power of Lord Shiva while he had to save the universe by swallowing poison. There is a very interesting explanation about forming the Gosaikund Lake and its water source. The view around the Lake and viewpoints will be lifetime rewards of your holidays.

 

Itinerary

Driving starts just after your breakfast. While driving: you will see many different landscapes, Nepalese cultures, traditions, and experience the real Himalayan lifestyle closely.

After morning breakfast follow the Langtang river bank with a spectacular view of the Jungle, river, and local culture. Lunch in Bamboo on the way you also see the wild bee hive on the other side of the River.

Following the gradual way up from the pine forest, oak, rhododendron, and many other floras, the Langtang mountain seems to spy on you all day through. The trail continuously heads gently upwards from Ghoda Tabela, Thangsyap to the Langtang village. The village was badly collapsed by the avalanche that fell from Mt. Langtang during the devastating earthquake in 2015. So many locals including trekkers have lost their lives by that time in Langtang village. The big piles of rocks and ice are boulding up the moraine where the main village was situated. Nowadays the new Langtang village is settled on the upper side of the legendary village.

Having a panoramic view of Mt. Langtang and other natural diversities makes your day more interesting and exciting. After a nice breakfast, the way starts easy uphill to Kyangjing Gomba by following the Langtang Valley. You arrive in Kyanjing by lunch and take a noon-time excursion around the cheese factory or Glacier Moraine.

A little earlier breakfast is better for today. Take your packed lunch and enough water for your final and important excursion to Tserku ri 5030mtr. Climbing up will be challenging however the views from the top will be lifetime unforgettable.

Hiking

Return down along the same way that we came through.

Passing an easy trail through the beautiful Oak forest, beach, rhododendron, paper plant, bamboo, etc. Then the uphill starts for 2 hours to Tamang Ethnic village

Often trail goes steep up to Phoprang Danda, But the view of Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu range make your climbing very comfortable. Making a tea break at Phoprang Danda with its massive surrounding views will be beneficial. Turn to the left easy way through the deep forest to Cholangpati without reaching Sing Gomba. This trail is quite interesting and primitive, it is not difficult however very few people know about it. You can stop at Cholangpati overnight at a local tea house.

Lauribinala

The trail goes gradually upwards but is quite enjoyable passing through the alpine forest, the serene contour ridge Lauribina-La to holy Gosaikund Lake. You arrive by noon time and take an excursion around the viewpoint and Lakeside or far more upper side of the Lake. Overnight at the local lodge.

Gosaikund Lake

Make an excursion up to the viewpoint for a panoramic Sunrise. Descend to the lodge for breakfast and start walking down to Sing Gomba. Follow the same trail you came until beyond Cholangpati then continuously descend through oak, fir, and rhododendron forest to a beautiful little hamlet. That little settlement is called Sing Gomba, It has a beautiful Gumba with a white TARA statue also this village is very popular for the Himalay yak Cheese factory. Overnight at a nice hotel

Today we walk often along the pilgrimage trail, which mostly descends through the alpine forest. It is not steep down however one should walk down carefully because the trail is gregarious. We descend to Dunche Khola through the beautiful forest, passing a Mineral water factory, and reach Dhunhce Bazaar. Dhunche is the headquarters of Rasuwa District. Overnight at the lodge
