Langtang Gosainkunda Pilgrimage Trekking - 6 days

After seven hours drive from Kathmandu, we head north out of Kathmandu driving through scenic foothills and ridgeline vistas to Dhunche (1966m). Overnight at lodge.

Today our trek starts from Dhunche to Sing Gompa which takes about five hours. The first part of the trail ascends gradually by a mineral water factory up to Ghatte Khola (stream). Crossing a suspension bridge over this stream, we begin to trek steeply up until we reach Sing Gompa through pine, silver oak and rhododendron forests along with marijuana plants. Overnight at lodge.

It takes about six hours walk from Sing Gompa to reach Gosainkunda via Laurebenayak La. The first part of the trail gently ascents up to Laurebenayak. The trail then ascends steeply all the way to Gosainkunda. We follow a rugged trail with dramatic views of Himal Chuli (7893m) Manaslu range (8156mm), Ganesh Himal range (7406m), Tibetan peaks and Langtang Lirung. On a clear day, even the Annapurna range can be seen rising up behind and to the north, across the valley, is Langtang Lirung. There are about a dozen lakes in the Gosainkunda Basin, the main three being Saraswatikunda, Bhairabkunda, and Gosainkunda. Stay overnight at lodge.

Today the trail descends all the way to Sing Gompa passing Laurebenayak with magnificent mountain views and forests. Stay overnight at lodge.

Trek from Sing Gompa to Dhunche takes about six hours. The first part of the trail descends through pine, silver oak and rhododendron forests along with marijuana plants. You then cross a suspension bridge over the Sing Gompa Stream. The path then stretches at a flat level through some human settlements and mineral water factories up to Dhunche. Stay overnight at lodge.

Today in our last day of our tour, we drive from seven hour to reach Kathmandu. It is a pleasant drive back to Kathmandu.
