Program Code : FD06 |

Highlights |
|
Langtang range, The very sacred
Gosainkund Lake is situated in the
Langtang National Park region of the
Annapurnas. There are some 100 lakes in
the area and they are the destination of
thousands of Hindu Pilgrims during the
month of August. The lake is also sacred
to the Buddhist people.
The trek commences with a steep ascent
but levels out for a relaxing trek
through old growth forest. If the day is
clear, you will have some spectacular
views of the valley below and of the
magnificent waterfalls cascading down
the mountain ranges across the valley.
There is ample opportunity to see the
vast array of flora and if you are quiet
and observant, you may get to see some
of the varied wildlife inhabiting the
forest.
The trail will take you through some of
the best native forest in Nepal. Through
the canopy, you will get glimpses of
Langtang Lirung Peak (7246m).
Witch doctor step to Gosaikunda Lake
Grade : Moderate
/Challenging
You will be walking five to eight
hours per day at altitudes not exceeding
4,500 meters with steep ascents and
descents. Preparation will be much the
same as for the introductory trek but
should include more steep ascents and
descents if possible. Using the stairs
instead of the lift is a good way to
prepare for these treks as is cycling
and swimming.
These treks will involve some high
altitude activity and the occasional
pass-crossing with walks of up to 9
hours per day and altitudes not
exceeding 6000 meters. Be aware of the
physical and mental needs of this type
of trek. You will need to be fit and the
preparations for the moderate trek apply
here too. Level of fitness is unrelated
to altitude sickness and you cannot be
sure that you will not suffer some mild
symptoms. Slow and steady is the key to
enjoyment.
