After 45 minutes’ drive from the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu; we will start trekking from Sundarijal. Sundarijal translates to ferry water in Nepali and this is where most of the drinking water supply in Kathmandu valley is dependent upon. Our trekking enters to the Shivapuri national park, trekking guide will take care of your entry permit and Helambu Gosainkunda lake trekking with Nepalgram begins.
In the beginning of 5 hours trek to Chisapani, we will ascend after crossing the suspension bridge. We will pass jungle (forest of oak tree and rhododendron during spring trekking), villages like Mulkharka village (Tamang caste dominated village of near Kathmandu) and the farming lands where villages will be busy harvesting or planting in their farms.

Chisapani to Kutumsang village is walk passing the different landscape with great view of the mountain range like Annapurna, Langtang and Ganesh Himal and many more. Widely scattered village of Chisapani to Kutumsang trek section will make Helambu Gosainkunda Trekking interesting. From chisapani to Kutusmsang, the trek is basically a complete village walk. Overnight at the local tea house of Kusumsang village, everything included.

After breakfast at Kusum, we will start our trekking. We will get the good view of Langtang mountain range along with more scattered village and the country life. We also pass by the local chhorten and stupas by the side of the village. Rhododendron forest and the local people in the jungle with their domestic animals for grazing will be interesting to see. With all the beauty and closeness with the White Mountains; we will walk up and down the green hills.
Yuri danda (ridge in english) and mere danda (nonstop 3 hours uphill walk) are today’s challenge. Trekking in the nature will be nice and joyful for most of the walk but when we meet local porters and Sherpa carrying weight double of themselves and walking faster than us will tease us. But the teasing will ease the walk; life of people here in the mountain is inspiring. This is what you will learn from Helambu Gosainkunda Trekking. Before getting to the village of Tharepati we will walk through the pine forest. Tharepati village will give a best taste of simple life and real village.

From the village to the base camp of Laurebinayak pass is interesting with change in the landscape and scenery. Pine and juniper forest at the beginning of the trekking will lead to no tree line very soon. Walk is entertaining and strenuous. This section of Helambu Gosaikunda trekking 14 days can be life long memory and a pain in ass. The scenery of the mountains like Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, Manaslu and Ganesh and many other named and unnamed will turn your day hike a best trekking experience in Nepal.

Laurebinayak La Pass (4610meters) is the highlight of entire trekking in Halambu Gosaikunda in your 14 days Nepal visit. Laurebinayak pass is one of the best trekking pass in Nepal. View of the 360 degree panorama is mesmerizing and you will love the thin air at that altitude. Scene of the mountain, small hills near you, tiny village seen in distance makes your trekking a lifelong memory. This trekking pass is not hard like Larkey pass of Manaslu or world famous Pass of Nepal Thorong la. You will be walking in the line of 4000 meters above the sea level, thus your excitement will be cherished till the top.

Apart from the Laurebinayak pass, Gosainkunda lake trekking is also a famous destination of Helambu region. When we talk about Langtang or Helambu Nepal, Gosainkunda Lake trek comes to every one’s mind. So we will take a peaceful rest on the lap of Langtang Mountain. Peace by the side of the lake is nice and memorable. If you are planning to do a short hike, it is possible to climb to the top of Surya peak. Trekking guide you let you know the pro and cons of hiking up the hill (looking at your physical condition). But if you hike up to Surya peak, your mind will be filled with more happiness and cheerful memories.
From the top of the surya peak you can see mt Annapurna, Mt Ganesh, Mt Manaslu and many other minor mountains of the respective range. Surya peak trekking will be a best side trip from Gosainkunda village. Apart from the hike, if you love to stay still for the entire day, vibe of the Gosainkunda lake is pristine. The religious myth of the god shiva, his trident pricking the wall of hill to fill his thirst is interesting. As the story, good vibe of the lake surrounding is enough to spend your day. You can walk around the lake.

Gosainkunda to chandan bari is a trek back in the village. More of the simple life in the langtang side of the Himalaya will inspire your trekking; while doing Helambu Gosainkunda Trekking. You will get chance to compare the life of people in the helambu region to the life in Langtang. From one prospect to another, these two sides of the same country will look different. People on this side of Nepal are simpler in my prospective but as you will be there yourself, evaluate and taste the reality. Overnight at the local guest house of Chandanbari village.

Mostly downhill walk across the village is an easy walk. The villages we pass today will look more developed than previous village walking as we are getting closer to the capital of District. Today is the last day of the trekking in Langtang Halmabu region. Today we will get to Dhunche. Dhunche is a small town in the lap of the mountain. We can see clear view of Langtang lirung on the way from Chandanbari to Dhunche. As today is the last day of the trekking, treat yourself and the team. Have a warm shower and forget the pain and sweating on last few days. Tomorrow you are heading to Kathmandu by tourist bus.

We will take a tourist bus from Dhunche. After breakfast at the hotel we will start our bus journey to Kathmandu. From the bus you will see nice view of the village on the edge of ridge and deep river valley. Enjoy the bumpy ride of hilly road.

As an added value of Nepalgram Adventure, we provide you post guiding service. Our guide will take you to the different shopping centers of Kathmandu. It is your choice, but we are ready to help you for the shopping at thamel or out of thamel. If you choose to relax and want to spend a day on your own, please have fun in your last day in Nepal.
