Best Time to do Langtang Gosaikunda Trek
The best season for the Langtang Gosaikunda trek must be spring (March, April, and May) and autumn (September, October and November). Autumn provides the best view of the majestic mountains and glaciers. Similarly, spring also provides us with the snow-capped mountains along with the green forests blooming with red rhododendron.
Besides these, Monsoon has its own importance. Because of the rainy season, trails are covered with leeches. However, waterfalls, rivers, greenery and flora and fauna best shines during this season. So, this season is also preferable for nature lovers and photographers.
During the Winter Season, trails are completely covered with snow and we can view the snowcapped mountains. However, the weather is very freezing and the trails are quite slippery.
How difficult is Langtang Gosaikunda Trek?
Shepherd Holidays rates Langtang route trek difficulty as ‘Strenuous’ which lies somewhere between moderate and difficult. You’ll have to walk for around 5-6 hrs daily to reach Kyanjin Gompa which can be easily done by beginners. However, to reach above Kyanjin, you’ll have to walk 6-7 hrs round trip at a very high altitude, ultimately reaching the famous Tserko Ri (5000 m).
Food and Accommodation:
Tea House will be the main accommodation during the Langtang Gosaikunda trek starting from Syabrubesi. These tea houses and lodges provide us with the basic facilities such as a bed, blanket and pillow, well enough to spend the night. These rooms are not so big and luxurious, but still they will be clean and cozy. Similarly, you can find good varieties of food items like Dal Bhat, pasta, fried rice, noodles, veggies, chapattis, bakery items, etc
How to reach Langtang from Kathmandu (Langtang Gosaikunda Trek route):
