Gosaikunda joins together the remote and staggering valley of Langtang with the high mountain lakes at Gosaikunda. Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is one of the most beautiful ways to explore nature from the inside out. You can visit the lovely Langtang National Park and then, afterward, trek to the end of the valley to view the eminent mountains. The Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu Trek combines three different treks: Langtang Valley, Gosaikunda Lake, and Helambu Valley Trek.

You then swing east into the Langtang Valley, intersecting the stream numerous times as you voyage up along a canyon-like, more level segment of the valley. You pass through oak and rhododendron woods and even cross cold moraine on your path to the Tamang village of Langtang.
Helambu Valley was known as Yalmoganriwa in ancient times, and now it is called Yalmo in the local language. Yalmoganriwa means to enclose snowcapped mountains in Helmo Valley, known as the Helambu Sindhupalchok district of Nepal. The center of this is Bumthang, which is the origin of the Melamchi River. The upper part of the mountain is named Dorje Lakpa, also known as Bajra Saddhu in Tibetan. Teton Goden Chen reveals this place, and his disciple visited this area and built the gumba (monastery). There is a Guru Dukphok cave in Padmasambhava that can accommodate up to 20 meditators at a time. There are many meditation centers around the area.

The Langtang Gosaikunda Trek can begin from Kathmandu at Sundarijal through the Chisapani, Gul Bhanjyang, Kutumsang, Tharepati, and Ghopte and get to Gosaikunda to cross over Gosaikunda Pass as a reserve way.

You have the option of going from Tharepati after the Gosikunda Pass either through the Helambu village and driving back to Kathmandu from Melamchi Gaun, Kakai/Thimbu, or the most popular Kathmandu Valley ridge trail through the Chisapani.
