Highlights

    • Beautiful view of the Himalayan chain Langthang, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu and massifs- Crossing Newars, Sherpas, Tamangs and Brahmans villages.
    • Authentic trek in an uncrowded Buddhist region.
    • Quick access from Kathmandu.
Trek to Langtang valley and Gosainkud (the secret lake) and Lauribina Pass 4610m in 
10 days. Less frequented than the Annapurna and Everest trek, the Langtang trek offers superb views and has very beautiful Sherpa villages and ancient monasteries. By the upper Langtang valley, we reach the sacred lakes of Gosaïkund. From Syabru Besi we reach the upper glacial valley of Langthang. After a few days
acclimatization at the foot of many 7000 m Peaks we climb to the sacred lakes of Gosainkund at more than 4000 m. These lakes reflect the magic of Shiva, at the foot of Langthang Lirung (7245 m) and dazzling mountain circus; it is a high place of Hindu pilgrimage. After the Laurebina pass (4600 m), highest point of the trek, we descend to the beautiful Buddhist region of Helambu. Small monasteries, chortens, prayer flags then punctuate our progress through the terraced crops and forests of rhododendrons and junipers. Final step in silence of the Himalayas, before the effervescence of Kathmandu and the fascinating visits of Bodnath, the most old stupa of the valley, and Pashupatinath, Hindu site dating from the 12th century
Trekking: to dive in the middle of nature for several consecutive days. Itinerary walks in autonomy, far from any infrastructure.
Moderate level: (on average) walk for 5-7 hours per day on a trail and / or 600 to 800 meters of positive elevation and / or 15-20. Drive last stage to arrive Kathmandu. No technical difficulties however walking on the path during the trek is many Nepalese stairs!) No particular problem linked to the altitude: the meaning of completion of the course facilitates acclimatization.
