Today, the 15-day Langtang Valley Gosaikunda Lake Trek package with Nepal Unique Treks & Expeditions comes to an end. If you plan to return to your home country, our representatives drive you to the airport and bid you a final farewell. However, if you plan to go for another adventure in Nepal, we can help you with that as well.
The Langtang Valley Gosaikunda Lake Trek is best done in the Autumn season (September to November), and in the second season comes the Spring season (March to May). Both of these seasons offer pleasant weather, clear skies, and stable weather, perfect for the trekkers to walk every day. Furthermore, the temperature also generally stays between 20-28 degrees Celsius during the day and 6–10°C at night in the lower altitude. Besides, the trail also remains dry and less slippery.
Also, did you know that the autumn season also aligns with festivals like Dashain and Tihar? Therefore, go for this trek in autumn and get a chance to celebrate Nepali festivals. However, the trails can be slightly more crowded this season, so we recommend you book the package a little early. If you choose the spring season, you will be in for the sightings of wildlife like red pandas and more.
The Winter Season (December to February) and the monsoon season (June to August) are considered two of the worst seasons for any Trek in Nepal. During winter, the temperature remains below 0 degrees Celsius, making both days and nights very cold. Besides, due to such cold temperatures, you will also not get to see any rhododendron blossoms or any animals wandering. Also, let us tell you that most of the hotels and teahouses might remain closed due to extremely cold temperatures. Besides, during the monsoon season, the entire trail stays wet and slippery due to heavy rainfall. Even the views are unclear, and the sky, nowhere to be seen, as the dense black clouds completely hide the sky.
Therefore, Nepal Unique Treks & Expeditions does not recommend any trekkers to go for the Langtang Valley Gosaikunda Lake Trek during the winter and monsoon seasons. However, if you want some adventure and extra thrill, you can still book the package with us.
The Langtang Valley Gosaikunda Lake Trek is a moderate to strenuous trek in the Langtang region. At the beginning of the journey, the trail is well-managed. However, as we reach higher altitudes, trekkers need to ascend on steep climbs, rocky paths, and high-altitude sections, which make it more and more challenging. Besides, as the trail leads to the highest altitude of 4610 meters above sea level, there is also a high risk of altitude sickness.
Other than these factors, the difficulty level of the Langtang Trek with Gosaikunda Lake visit also depends on the way you prepare and plan the trip. Therefore, we recommend (though not mandatory) that the trekkers gain some prior trekking experience. If you plan this trek with Nepal Unique Treks & Expeditions, our Sherpa guides will make sure to help you with training, preparation, and packing for the Langtang Gosaikunda Lake Trekking package.
Being a moderate to strenuous level journey, the Langtang Gosainkunda Lake Trek demands proper planning and preparation. Regardless of the season you choose to ascend in this map, you must be prepared with physical fitness, acclimatization, and proper gear to navigate steep climbs, rocky trails, and variable weather. Furthermore, here are a few more preparations that you must do for trekking on the Langtang Gosaikunda Lake map:
Build Physical Fitness: Train for 4-6 weeks with cardio (running, hiking) and strength exercises (squats, lunges) to handle 5-7 hours of daily walking and up to 1,000m elevation gains. Also, practice hiking with a 5-10kg backpack to mimic trek conditions.
Be Mentally Prepared: As this trekking route takes us to some remote part of Langtang Valley, trekkers must prepare themselves mentally for the circumstances that might arise. For example, provision of basic amenities, extra payment for hot water and internet, limited food options, etc.
Choose the Right Season: Opt for autumn or spring for clear skies and dry trails. Prepare for crowds by booking teahouses early, especially during festivals like Janai Purnima (August/September). Avoid monsoon unless equipped for muddy trails.
Do Some Prior Research: Before you book the package, we recommend you research the overall trekking map, lifestyle, languages, traditions, and culture. Also, try to know the price that different agencies are offering for this package.
Pack Smartly: We also recommend that you pack smartly for the trek because smart packing has many advantages. Besides, before you begin the journey, get your backpack checked by the guides as well.
Packing smartly has a lot of benefits when you head for a long, multi-day tour or trek. From safe ascent, enhanced enjoyment, reduced risks, to increased comfort, smart packing can make trekking a completely different experience. However, there are some major things that one must not forget to pack for the Langtang Gosaikunda Lake Trek, and they are listed below:
Moisture-wicking and quick-dry base layers
Fleece jacket or insulated mid-layer
Waterproof, windproof jacket and
Trekking pants
Warm hat, gloves, and neck gaiter

Food and Accommodation are two of the most important factors that make trekking journeys more efficient and less strenuous. Without proper food and accommodation, trekkers might face several difficulties, like weakness, fatigue, etc. Keeping these in mind, Nepal Unique Treks & Expeditions makes sure to arrange proper food and accommodation throughout the Langtang Gosaikunda Lake Trek. Here is what you can expect:
Accommodation is arranged in basic tea houses and lodges that generally provide basic lodging with twin beds, shared bathrooms, and communal dining areas. However, in Kathmandu, you can expect a three-star level hotel. Besides, the rooms also have basic mattresses, blankets, and pillows. However, we recommend the trekkers to bring a sleeping bag (rated to -10°C) for warmth, especially above 3,000m. Furthermore, Nepal Unique Treks & Expeditions also makes sure that the hotels and lodges are very hygienic and the rooms are cleaned before your stay.
Teahouses along the Langtang Gosaikunda Lake Trek provide simple, hearty meals to fuel trekkers, with menus reflecting Nepali, Tibetan, and basic Western cuisines. Besides, the trekkers can expect menu items like dal bhat, momos, noodles, fried rice, porridge, pancakes, tea, and coffee. If you book the package with Nepal Unique Treks & Expeditions, we will also ensure that the hotels and teahouses offer healthy, hygienic, and well-prepared food throughout the trek. Besides, you can also buy several snacks from different teahouses and small shops on the way.
The Langtang Valley Gosaikunda Lake Trek involves significant altitude gains, starting from Syabrubesi (1,460m) or Dhunche (1,960m) and ascending to high points like Gosaikunda Lake (4,380m) and Laurebina Pass (4,610m). As we cross 2500 meters, altitude sickness becomes notable as the air gets thinner and the oxygen level also reduces in the air. The higher we ascend, the stronger the possibilities of altitude sickness become in the Langtang Gosainkunda Lake Trekking trail.
You can know if you have altitude sickness if you feel a headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and insomnia. However, if the risk increases, you might also suffer from shortness of breath at rest, confusion, or loss of coordination. Well, in such cases, here is how you can prevent altitude sickness during the Langtang Gosaikunda Lake Trek:
Keep yourself well-hydrated and drink about 3 to 4 litres of water every day. Also, remember to drink only filtered water.
Keep a slow and steady pace and do not hurry in any section of the trekking route.
Consider Diamox (125–250mg twice daily, started 24 hours before ascent) to aid acclimatization, after consulting a doctor.
Spend acclimatization days resting properly or ascending to some side day hikes to adapt to conditions at higher altitudes.

The best seasons for this trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these seasons, you can experience clear skies, stable weather, blooming rhododendrons, and stunning mountain views. While winter offers solitude and snowy landscapes, it can be quite cold, and some sections may be challenging. The monsoon season (June to August) is less ideal due to heavy rainfall and leech-infested trails.
This trek is considered moderate to strenuous, but let us tell you that it does not have any technical climbing. However, the trekkers need to walk for many hours over several days while also walking over the high-altitude passes like Laurebina (4,610m).
Prior trekking experience is helpful but not mandatory. If you're in good physical shape and mentally prepared for 5-7 hours of walking per day in varying terrain, you can complete this trek. That said, familiarity with multi-day hikes or high-altitude conditions can enhance your comfort and confidence on the trail.

To prevent altitude sickness, ascend gradually, stay well-hydrated, and avoid alcohol and overexertion. Taking rest days, like the acclimatization day in Kyanjin Gompa, is crucial. Medications like Diamox can help, but consult your doctor before taking them. Always listen to your body and inform your guide if symptoms arise.
Yes, almost all the hotels and lodges offer hot water for showers throughout the Langtang Valley. However, they usually come at an extra cost and are often gas- or solar-heated in higher or remote areas. Moreover, you can also expect the accommodation centres to provide you with several other facilities like internet, electricity, etc.
Hiring a professional Sherpa guide is mandatory for any trek in Nepal. Besides, the guides should also have a government-validated license. However, hiring a porter completely depends on your decision. Nevertheless, hiring a porter can help you get your backpacks carried while you ascend the trail with zero worries about the heavy loads to carry.
The Langtang and Gosaikunda regions are rich in biodiversity. You may spot red pandas, Himalayan tahr, langurs, musk deer, and a variety of birds like Danphe (Nepal’s national bird) and Himalayan vultures. The forests and national park areas are also home to rare plants and medicinal herbs.
To prepare for the Langtang Valley Gosaikunda Lake Trek, we recommend that trekkers engage in cardiovascular exercises like hiking, running, cycling, or swimming several weeks before the trek.
