What is the Best season for trekking to Langtang and Gosainkunda

The spring and autumn season is the best time for the Langtang Gosainkunda Trek in terms of weather and convenience.  This trek is doable all year round but it has a certain amount of advantages and disadvantages as well. With the onset of Monsoon/Summer, this trek offers incredible mountain scenes, but trails are slippery, and often time’s landslide blocks the trekking path.

If you try and attempt this trek during the monsoon, you’d get to witness green beautiful valleys amidst a foggy environment. In this season you will find less number of trekkers on this trek route. Otherwise, you get the most spectacular mountain views in the winter, but the chilly crisp air and freezing temperature might be dicey. Despite all these hindrances if these things do not stop you then you can very well be on this trekking journey.

However, spring and fall are the most favorable seasons for all trekking regions of Nepal. During this season the valley shimmers with green and a shade of pink and scarlet throughout. Wherever you tread an array of red raging rhododendrons and other flowers make this trekking path scenic. Similarly, the days are also sunny, the heat is abundant, and the evenings are quite chilly. Above all, there is every chance of you falling in love with the blessed charm of the Langtang and Gosaikunda Region. So this eventually means that every season is tailor-made for being on this particular trekking journey.

Climate and Weather around Langtang and Gosainkunda

In general, the Langtang Gosaikunda varies as per the season. During spring the days tend to be warmer in the spring. The nights may be colder but is not extreme. Days gradually become longer than nights with wonderful sky views and the slight wind blows. The average daytime temperature at lower villages in Langtang Gosainkunda Trek ranges from 10°C to 20°C but nights and temperatures at higher places become unpredictable. 

Local culture and religion around Langtang region

This panoramic abode is home to ethnic groups of the hilly and mountain regions. The locals here are predominantly following the Buddhist religious cult. As you take a walk around you will see many mani stones, stupas, gumbas, and prayer wheels. 

It is respectful to pass these objects with your right side nearest to the object, in a clockwise direction. Avoid sitting or standing on mani stones, stupas, tables used for worship, or anything that is a religious symbol, as that is considered disrespectful.

Can we get altitude sickness during this trek?

Even though the chances of anyone getting altitude sickness on the Langtang and Gosainkunda trek are rare, you can get it if you are or have started from sea level. Your body may have a difficult time adjusting to the higher altitudes. There is no fixture to getting altitude sickness. Anyone can get it. So, taking the necessary measures to avoid it is always better.

If you get altitude sickness on your trek, please inform your guide and group members immediately. Your guide will provide you with immediate first aid. Do not try to ascend any further after that. Take rest for an entire day. You should return to lower altitudes if the symptoms do not go away after proper rest and medication. While ascending, you may feel symptoms like nausea, headache, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, and uneasiness. And, if the symptoms persist for a longer duration, then know that your body cannot resist the altitude variation. Please let your guide and group see if you feel these symptoms.

Is Travel and Medical Insurance required?

Travel and Medical insurance are mandatory for all customers looking to travel to Nepal with us. The Travel Insurance must cover both the medical and emergency evacuation cost.

Traveling to the wonderful bounties of the Himalayan Region of Nepal comes with both seen and unforeseen risks. It is always best to prepare for any unforeseen risks that may occur while traveling. Many insurance companies offer travel insurance services over the internet. You can choose from a wide variety of insurance companies at your convenience. There might be a slender chance of getting minor health issues, injuries, and, most importantly-altitude sickness.

It is always advisable to choose an insurance policy covering the helicopter rescue cost from the mountains in case of significant accidents and acute mountain sickness (AMS). During such extreme cases of emergency evacuation, a helicopter service is the only way out of the mountains. This includes a rescue team for both  ground evacuation and rescue. This is why we require your travel insurance to cover the cost of helicopter services and evacuation from the Himalayas.

Before you plan your trip with us, do make sure that your travel insurance covers all the costs mentioned above from a reliable company.

Shower and Toilet Facilities during the trek

During the Langtang Valley Gosaikunda Trek, the washing and toilet facilities are pretty basic. At the lower elevation, most lodges offer Western-style toilets. Even after reaching the higher altitudes, most lodges offer western toilets. The attached bathrooms are available at an additional cost as well.

Lodges and teahouses offer hot showers and washing facilities in various ways. Trekkers can use the solar rain shower in some lodges, and in some hotels and tea houses, it is just a basic gas geyser shower. Ensure you carry a bar of soap, shampoo, and towels during the trekking period.

NOTE: Toilet paper and soap are not placed in the toilets, so it is recommended to carry some before beginning the trek.

                                    Excellent Trekking in Langtang

                                    I did a great sole trekking trip with Trekking Planner for 21 days in Langtang Valley. The whole planning was really good. I could change the itinerary anytime I wanted without any problems which I did. The owner, Dipak, planned the trekking very well and was not a rushed service as I went at my own pace. Everything was perfectly organized and he helped me with everything I needed from the first days in Katmandu. Our guide, Narayan, was really great, he did a professional job and I had a lot of fun with him. When I changed the plan during the trekking they was no problem at all.

                                    I was totally happy with Dipak and Narayan and I would choose them for sure again.
