Gosainkunda Trek via Dhunche

The Langtang region trekking is one of the most well-liked trekking regions in Nepal. Among them, Gosainkunda Trek is the popular one because of the scenic lake and mountain views. In good weather, you can connect the Langtang and Helambu treks through the trek to holiest, scenic and high-altitude Gosainkunda Lake. It can also be possible to hike the trail as an individual trek or even as a return visit to Dhunche to the Lakes (7 days), though the chance of ascending in these two cases can cause acclimatization trouble unless you have done other treks higher than 4000m. There are plenty of lodges and guest houses are available en-route so that finding shelter is not a problem. Normally, it takes four days to trek from Dhunche, close to the starting point of Langtang Trek, and to Tharepati in the Helambu region.
