Langtang Gosainkunda Trek is one of the most popular and closest trekking regions in Nepal from Kathmandu valley. This is the most exceptional trekking site placed north of Kathmandu in the middle of the Great Himalayan range on the Tibetan border and is within easy access. It is the perfect combination of one of the beauties of the remote valley of Langtang with the high mountain lakes of Gosainkunda (4600m). This adventurous trekking immerses trekkers to the beautiful Langtang region, the valley of Glaciers of the Himalayan, Which is wide verities of vegetation of pine forest, bamboo tree, and rhododendron flowers spreading the path of paradise. It is also home of Himalayan honeyguide, mountain pheasant, musk deer, and snow leopard. The valley is an integral part of Langtang national park, the oldest national park in Nepal. The area is famous for its pleasant local, unique tradition, Buddhist monasteries and monuments along the way and spectacular Mountain View.
Langtang is famous for the Kyanjin Gompa- a Buddhist monastery lies beneath the Langtang Lirung Mountain. The trek comes across the ethnic Tamang people of the valley, and exploring the traditional and cultural integrity of multiple caste and creeds is one of the major objectives of Langtang trekking. Away from the busy city, a native village welcomes you with warm gestures and huge respect. This unique way of celebrating rituals makes this region festive every time.
Resuming the trek we travel through Thulo Syabru to Laurebina and SingGompa to a high plateau, where the sacred lake Gosainkund is located, the purest holy lake. The sacred lake in Nepalese society because of its historical belief which directly connects the lake to hindu Lord Shiva, the god of power and destruction in Hindu mythology. As this sacred lake is constantly spreading its divine blessing to the people.

Therefore, people of the Hindu religion follow the same rituals to purify their souls through various sins.
