Sometimes, in a big group, you may have buffet service too. This takes place especially in peak season (Sept-Nov).  Breakfast will be provided at the guesthouse where we spent the night, lunch somewhere in the middle of the next destination and dinner at the guesthouse where we stay tonight. We offer you typical organic Nepali cushion which are really amazing.  

Best Time to Travel

Autumn (Sept. to Nov.) and spring (March to May) are the best time for Trekking. The weather is delightful and pleasant during autumn. The mountain views are astonishing.

The hills are wrapped with beautiful flowering rhododendron during spring. Mjaority of the trekkers find Spring best time for Langtang-Gosainkunda Trek-16 days since they love to see flowering rhododendron.

Winter( Dec-Feb) will be very harsh due to cold and cloudy weather which hide the mountain peaks.

Summer will be too hot for some trekkers. Heavy rainfall occurs and disturbs the transportation and even walk in the mountain.

Physical Condition and Experience

Those who can walk 4-5 hours in the mountain can do this trek. Langtang-Gosainkunda Trek-16 days  is a moderate trek in Langtang region Trekking . Regular exercise, jogging and short hiking enhance your stamina and confidence. No prior trekking experience and technical skills are required for Langtang-Gosainkunda Trek-16 days. However, these prior skills will be an asset for it.

Getting to the trailhead and Away

We drive from Kathmandu to Syabribesi for 8-9 hours. The road we are using is narrow country road. Swabrubesi is the beginning point of Langtang-Gosainkunda Trek-16 days. No tourist buses can be used to get Syabrubesi from Kathmandu. We only get private or public jeep or bus. These buses and jeep are not convenient. Prepare to face 8-9 hours local bus trip to Syabrubesi.Some poepl want to end the trekking Syabrubesi and some want to end it at Sudarijal. 

Threats and Safety

We do not really face such terrible threats during this trekking. There is no any slippery and steep trail till Langtnag Valley and Gosainkunda. But if the trekkers want Gosainkunda Pass, then, we have steep trail which may be challenging to the trekkers for 2 days after Gosainkunda Pass.  Also, trekkers will encounter with massive snow on the Goainkunda Pass during winter. While passing through Langtang National Park, we are to walk in group in order to avoid wild animals. It doesn’t mean that the wild animals attack people.

There are few cases the trekkers suffered from altitude sickness. Report it to you trekking leader or guide if you have any health inconveniences. You will immediately be rescued. Drink plenty of hot drinks and do not smoke in the higher elevation.  

 Note: If you have serious health problem, please consult doctor or inform us before departure to the trailhead.
