Langtang helambu trek route passes through stone walled quite Tamang villages, hot spas, gorges and glaciers and reaches Langtang valley, Kyanjin Gompa, Tseku Ri, Holy gosainkund lake, Helambu valley, Khola Kharka which offers magnificent Himalayan views in Langtang Himalaya region. The main advantage of the Langtang gosainkund Helambu tekking is less trekkers are make trekking comparing the two popular trekking trail Annapurna and Everest region. Langtnag Helambu treks can do from two different side either Langtang Ganja la pass or Langtang gosainkund pass from Himalaya Journey Treks & Expedition’s professional trekking tour operator. Langtang Helambu trekking combines the remote and spectacular valley of Langtang, with the high mountain lake Known as Gosainkunda 4380m and Helambu valley.
Langtang Helambu trek start from kathmandu to Dhunche/syabru besi after drive 6-7 hours from kathmandu valley. Initially langtang valley trekking through a sub-tropical jungle, then a dense forest of oak, birch and pine before the valley opens out into alpine meadows and yak pastures. In the spring these high meadows are carpeted with a rich variety of alpine wild flowers also the forests are also in full bloom with rare tree orchids and the colorful rhododendron, Nepal's national flower, also a spring highlight. The Langtang forests are also well known for their wildlife, including red pandas, Himalayan black bear, wild boar and langur monkeys - you are likely to see packs of these monkeys between Syabru and Ghora Tabela. Beyond Langtang village is the summer settlement of Kyanjin with its small gompa and cheese factory. Our camp here amongst yak pastures, dominated by the fluted north west face of Kangchenpo, whilst Kyangjin Ri at 4708m provides a splendid viewpoint. The views from here are as spectacular as anywhere in the Himalaya, a 360 degree panorama of snow capped including the awesome Langtang Lirung, Pemthang Ri, Langshisha Ri, Dorje Lakpa, and Kangchenpo, Tilman's fluted peak. Descending from the upper Langtang Valley, we retrace the route back to Syabru village than continue trek to Holy gosainkund lake. After crossing the Gosainkund pass 4610m, trail continue leads to the Helambu valley then we make almost a circle going through Tharapati, Tarkeghyang, sermathang to Melamchi pul bazaar than by private vehicle or by bus back to kathmandu with beautiful Himalayan scenery.
