What should one expect?
Often regarded as the trek with a real heart, the Langtang Valley walk provides a brief yet rewarding experience. Seeing Kathmandu's classic architecture is absolutely essential for first-time tourists to Nepal. From the venerable Pashupatinath Temple to the renowned Swayambhunath Maha chaitya (Monkey Temple), Kathmandu's UNESCO World Heritage monuments call with their cultural diversity. During your stay in Kathmandu, don't miss the chance to enjoy real Nepali food as Thakali Set, Dhindo, and naturally momos.
You will arrive at Langtang Village after driving one day and trekking two days. Here among amazing views, you will see Langtang Himal (7,246m/23773ft), Ganesh Himal (7,422m/24,350ft), and Sisapangma (8,027m/26,335ft).
The Langtang area offers a cultural experience as much as beautiful scenery. Most of the tenants are Buddhist and Tamang, renowned for their friendly hospitality. Many Chortens, Mani Walls, and Gompas—each with a tale of spirituality and custom—will be found along the trail.
For those looking to continue their journey, a visit to the holy lake of Gosainkunda is quite advised. At 4300 meters, Gosainkunda is steeped in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. According to legend, Lord Shiva's trident created the lake, and it has great religious importance particularly on the auspicious August full moon celebration when millions of pilgrims flock to honor. Discover the magical appeal of Gosainkunda and probe the spiritual core of Nepal's hilly terrain.
