Langtang Gosainkunda Trek

The major excitement of this trip is the experience of travelling into the centre of the Himalayas. The variation offered in cultural diversity and topography turns more exciting and interesting, and the exploration of the culture of various ethnic groups is a basis to understand the lifestyle in the area. The lower ridges of the central Himalayas are inhabited by Tamangs and Sherpas, whereas the occupants of the higher region are mostly by Tibetan descent. Also on offer is the view of the sacred Gosaikunda Lake, one of the holy pilgrim sites of the Hindus and the fascinating views of the Langtang Range, Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa, Naya Kanga and Lang Shisha.
