HIGHLIGHTS
  • Langtang National Park's Natural Beauty
  • Immersive Helambu Culture
  • Sacred Gosainkunda Lake
  • Adventure-Culture Fusion
Discover the enchanting landscapes and rich culture of the Langtang and Helambu regions, easily accessible via land transport, eliminating the uncertainties of air travel. Within these pristine regions lies the Langtang National Park, boasting a vast valley, the sacred Gosainkunda Lake, and the serene Kyanjin Gompa Monastery, all presided over by the towering Langtang Lirung at 7,227 meters.

Helambu, renowned for its succulent apples and monasteries, is a cultural gem where your journey begins from the Lauribina Pass, descending towards the Melamchi Valley. Immerse yourself in authentic Nepali culture amidst the highland villages of Helambu.

The Langtang Helambu Trek seamlessly blends the captivating landscapes of Langtang, Helambu, and Gosainkund, all located north of Kathmandu. This trek offers a unique fusion of small peak climbing, immersive rural village experiences, and encounters with majestic glaciers at lower elevations, creating the ideal adventure for those who seek both thrilling experiences and cultural immersion.

Gosainkunda, the holy alpine freshwater lake situated at an elevation of 4,300 meters, holds profound significance for thousands of Hindu pilgrims who converge during the full moon festival in August. This sacred site also holds a special place in the hearts of Buddhists, making it a place of spiritual reverence and natural beauty.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
  • How much money do I need to bring with me?

    Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

  • Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

    There are no quarantine requirements in Nepal for arriving visitors at the moment.

  • How much should my backpack weigh?

    A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.  

  • Do I need a porter?

    The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.

  • Do I require a porter for carrying water?

    On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
