But in LVGT on top of the wide range seen from Laurebina – walking along the Langtang river in the Langtang Valley trekking trail adds close up to the mountains seen from the distance. Hill stations like Kyanjing ri or Tsergu ri makes trekking more appealing. In addition to the scenery Langtang Valley Gosainkunda trek is 3 days more than Helambu Gosainkunda trekking.
