I went on a week-long trek in the Langtang region of Nepal with Ratna as my trekking guide. Throughout the week, Ratna was kind, with a fab sense of humour, encouraging when I was finding the walking hard, and always knew what he was doing, with a solution for every hurdle. By the end of the week, we were great friends! Being confident in our guide meant we could all relax and enjoy the trek, never worrying about anything and having much fun. With Ratna's support, we reached our final peak despite my fear of being unable to make it that far, and to this day, it is one of my proudest achievements. I would make this trip again in a heartbeat and recommend it to all!

The Langtang Gosainkunda Pass lies in the central north of Nepal. The starting point of the trek is Sybrubensi which is 80 kilometres from Kathmandu. From Sybrubensi to Kyanjing Gompa and back is about 65 kilometers of walking. Back to Thulo Syabru, we shall trace a Gosainkunda trek route, about 40 km. On a return journey, we take the same path in Gosaikunda Trek Map back to Sing Gompa and Dhunche. So, the total walk distance is 155 km, and the duration is 6 to 7 hours each day. One can also reach the lower Langtang region, Making it a complete Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu Trek.
The standard Langtang Gosainkunda Trek Itinerary by MyEverestTrek, this is a 16 days trip ( including arrival and departure dates). However, if you are willing to book the journey from Kathmandu, the trip will take about 14 days. It includes two exploration days in Kyanjing Gompa and Gosaikunda. If you skip this exploration day and show the ability to trek quickly, Langtang and Gosainkunda Trek can be completed in about nine days. Or you will need about five days from Kathmandu to trek to Gosaikunda.
We also receive many inquiries about the short Gosainkunda Trek from Kathmandu.
Trekking to Gosainkunda and back in 3 days is nearly impossible. However, if you drive to Dhunche and walk for a few hours on the same day to stop at a village between Dhunche and Chandanwari, you can reach Gosainkunda on 2nd day. On the 3rd day, you can return to Dhunche and get a Jeep to Kathmandu. This sense is a once-a-lifetime journey, so we don’t suggest such a rush to Gosainkunda. Instead, look for other short treks in Nepal.
Note: Getting back to Kathmandu on the same day is hard, and you must hire a private Jeep. This is why trekkers make it a days trip so that they can get a public bus on the morning of 5th day
Read the complete Langtang Trek Guide for Food and accommodation.
To start the Gosainkunda trek from Kathmandu, you shall first drive to Syabrubesi. This is about 80 km north of Kathmandu. You can get a public vehicle or hire a private Jeep from Kathmandu. The public bus or Jeep can be found in Gongabu Bus Park, about 10 km from the airport. In the morning, you can also catch this bus from Kalanki, but it’s better to get the bus from Kathmandu to Syabrubensi at Gongabu Bus Park. The bus costs about $10. The public bus mostly leaves in the morning, but the time is unknown. So, be there by 8 am.
However, public vehicles are uncomfortable (the seats are small) and often crowded. Thus, it would be best to get a Jeep on sharing basis or hire a private car from Kathmandu—a jeep cost about $30 per person.
From Syabrubesi, the remaining journey to Gosainkunda is in feet. First, you need to walk to Sing Gompa and then to Gosainkunda. You can rest here for a day or get to a higher lake for a bird’s eye view of the lake and then walk down to Ghopte, Melanche Ghyang, Tarkeghyang, Kakani, and Melamchi Bazar. This is a longer route set by MyEverestTrip, and you can also find a minor way.
The 13-day Langtang Gosaikunda treks cost you $970 with the MyEveryTrip package. This cost includes accommodation, food, a porter, a guide, transportation, and a permit.
The Langtang Gosainkunda Trek costs an independent traveler $600 to $1200. If you can complete the trek in about eight days, the price will be as low as $600. However, the Langtang Gosainkunda Trek for nine days adds a lot of Langtang Trek difficulty while you are walking in the Himalayas. For Solo travelers, a comfortable trek with private transportation, a guide, and a porter can cost up to $1200 for 13 days.
The cost of the Langtang Valley Gosainkunda Trek can be classified as the Price for accommodation in Langtang: $4 to $7 per night.
Firstly, you will need a Visa to Nepal. A visa can be issued at the airport upon arrival or at other entry points, costing USD 30 for 15 days and USD 50 for 30 days.
Two other permits are needed for the Langtang Valley Trek. The first one is a TIMS card that can be issued in Kathmandu. Our travel agency in Thamel (MyEverestTrip) can arrange these cards for you, costing $10 for a group trip and $20 for a Solo Trip. This TIMS card helps the government track travelers in the Langtang region. The other permit is the Langtang National Park permit. You must buy an entry ticket since you will cross via Langtang National Park. The National Park entry ticket costs NPR 3000 with VAT. This money goes for the conservation of wildlife in the Langtang National Park area and is the money spent for a cause.
If you find driving to Syabrubesi unnecessary, you can also trek to Gosaikunda from Sundarijal, about a 45-minute drive from the airport. Here’s Sudarijal to Gosainkunda trek Itinerary
Day 5: Gosaikunda to Dhunchhe – 6 hrs / 1,764 m
Day 6: Drive back to Kathmandu
Almost all Nepal trekking regions can be explored best during autumn and Spring. The clear and distinct view of Autumn (Spt to Nov) makes it the most magical season for Langtang Gosainkunda Trek. Similarly, the colorful blooms of wildflowers in Spring are equally magical. The temperature of these months is also warm enough for the trek, and there’s little chance of snowfall and rainfall. The only problem is the overbooking of accommodations on the Langtang Gosainkunda Trek route. So make sure that you contact them in advance. It’s also time to explore the festival and Tamang culture of Langtang.
Winter In Langtang and Gosaikunda trek is even more magical as the whole area above Lama Hotel is covered in snow. Even the trek in December, January, and February are possible, but it’s risky due to the snow. Due to the slippery trail, the Gosainkunda trek route is also hard to conquer in summer (monsoon). However, since the altitude of this Langtang Gosaikunda Pass Trek is not that high, it can be done throughout the year with the proper guidance from the MyEverestTrip team.
