Trip Overview

Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Pokhara Trek is a trek with combination of Langtang Valley, Helambu and Pokhara Valley. Langtang is a limited valley that lies between the Himalayan extents toward the north and a marginally bring down scope of pinnacles only south of the Tibetan outskirt. A Trek to this delightful valley offers trekkers a remarkable decent variety of landscape and culture while strolling through some fascinatingly remote and moderately uninhabited regions. Commence the trek with an overland adventure up to Dhunche and climb through the Langtang National Park to the high scene of taking off snow topped pinnacles and clearing icy masses. Although the region is moderately near Kathmandu, the locale witnesses far less trekkers than Everest and Annapurna. 

This Langtang-Gosainkunda Trek is a combination of beautiful treks taking us straight into some of the wildest and most picturesque areas of Nepal. Starting from the lovely hill town of Syaphrubensi, our trek passes through beautiful conifer forests of the Langtang National Park on the way to the higher slopes. We cross over the high Alpine yak pastures, glaciers and moraines around Kyangin Gompa; the Sacred Lakes of the Hindus/Buddhist including Lake Gosainkunda (4380 m). Langtang Valley lies in northern piece of Nepal near Tibet. Swashbuckler and author Bill Tilman once depicted Langtang Valley as "the loveliest valley on the planet"- a reference that is so staggeringly evident. 

The significant feature of the Langtang Valley Trek is the stunning perspectives of Langtang and Ganesh Himal Ranges and the astonishing looks of Langtang ice sheets. Langtang likewise has a few energizing trekking peaks for climbing. The whole valley is a vital piece of Langtang National Park, one of the most established national parks in Nepal. Uncommon and jeopardized Red Panda found in locale is banner types of the recreation centre. 

Helambu Valley is inhabitant of Tamang people who still take after age-old social traditions and Buddhist practices. Antiquated Buddhist religious communities and Gompas speck the valley's scene and the profound air invades their ordinary tasks. Langtang Valley trail is a simple trek reasonable for all age gatherings, running from youthful to old. 

Pokhara is one of the most popular destinations and the second most visited city after Kathmandu in Nepal. This destination is probably known for its tranquil atmosphere, beautiful countryside and lovely Fewa lake on whose shores the famous city lies. The three mountains among the top ten mountains can also be seen while visiting Pokhara i.e. Annapurna, Manasalu and Dhaulagiri. Likewise, the magnificent summit Machhapuchre with its pointed peak has been determined to be the icon of the city. As there has been rapid growth in trekking in Nepal in the present context, the city has developed many popular and interesting sightseeing opportunities for trekkers such as world peace pagoda, Sarangkot sunrise view etc. The lakeside near the Phewa Lake is fully acquainted with hotels, exquisite restaurants and bars for the visitors. Besides this, there are numerous shops and vendors. On the southern side of the Phewa lake lies the world peace pagoda from where spectacular view of Annapurna Himalayas can be viewed.
During this tour, visitors not only visit the lakeside and view mountains but also are taken to various popular temples and museums such as Tal Barahi temple, Bindhyabasini temple, International Mountaineering Museum, etc. The visitors are also taken to enjoy the breath-taking views of surroundings such as Mahendra cave, famous Davis Fall, Bat cave etc during their trip. Hence, this is one of the most famous tours in Nepal and probably the best package to take to embark on a holiday.
