The Langtang Gosaikunda Trek via Sherpagaun is one of Nepal’s most scenic and spiritually enriching Himalayan journeys. Combining breathtaking mountain vistas, rich cultural traditions, and sacred alpine lakes, this trek offers a unique experience just a few hours' drive from Kathmandu.
This route blends the best of the classic Langtang Valley Trek with the holy Gosaikunda Lake pilgrimage, making it ideal for those seeking a diverse and less-crowded alternative to the Everest or Annapurna regions. You'll trek through the heart of the Langtang Himalayas, encountering snow-capped peaks, dense rhododendron forests, glacial valleys, and traditional Tamang and Sherpa villages.
Highlights include the serene trails of Langtang National Park—home to red pandas, Himalayan black bears, and rare bird species—as well as cultural landmarks like the Kyanjin Gompa monastery and the historic Yak Cheese Factory.
The journey begins with a scenic drive to Syabrubesi, followed by a moderate trekking route that climbs to an altitude of around 4,600 meters (15,092 feet) near Gosaikunda. Trekkers will have the chance to interact with local communities, gaining insights into Buddhist practices and traditional highland lifestyles.
Suitable for both experienced hikers and fit beginners, the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek typically takes 10 to 14 days to complete. It offers a well-rounded Himalayan experience with a blend of nature, spirituality, and culture—all within a manageable timeframe.
Whether you're drawn by the towering peaks, sacred lakes, wildlife encounters, or cultural richness, the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek promises an unforgettable and meaningful adventure in one of Nepal’s most captivating trekking regions.

“My trek to Everest Base Camp with Above & Beyond Trekking exceeded all expectations. Everything was well-organized from airport pickup to the final descent.”
April 2, 2023
“The Everest Base Camp trek was an experience of a lifetime! And a knowledgeable guide like Sam was a definite plus. We learned so much about the Nepali culture. He took extra time to answer our questions and explain customs of the wonderful local people. All details were well worked out and logistics went smoothly. Sam was kind and gentle but also made the call when needed to get a horse for me to finish the last leg of the journey”

“Sam is possibly the best trekking guide in Nepal if not the world. Guide, porter, medic, comidian, singer he does it all! Sam is very friendly and so easy to talk too. I found it very easy to bring up any issues I had (not that I had many) which helped to make the trekking experience the best it could possibly be. Sam is very knowledgeable about the mountains and the local culture and thought us so much. Sam also chooses the best local porters. Very friendly and very helpful. Couldn't have asked for any better. I couldn't recommend above and beyond trekking more highly”
