Located north of Kathmandu, this trek offers an ideal blend of mountain landscapes, alpine wilderness, and traditional village life.

Leaving the Langtang Valley, the route heads toward Thulo Syabru and Sing Gompa, gradually transitioning into alpine terrain. The journey then ascends to the revered Gosaikunda Lake (4,380 m), a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists, known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and dramatic mountain backdrop. Crossing the Gosaikunda Pass (4,610 m) is a thrilling high point of the trek, offering sweeping views of the Langtang and Helambu ranges.
The descent leads through remote forests and traditional hill villages such as Ghopte, Kutumsang, and Chisapani Danda, where trekkers enjoy peaceful trails, terraced farmland, and panoramic hilltop views. The trek concludes at Sundarijal, passing through Shivapuri National Park, before returning to Kathmandu.
