Langtang Helambu Trek is the best destination in Langtang national park, who likes to explore the unique culture, Himalayan scenery, and wild animal including the endangered Red Panda. Langtang Circuit Trekking can be more than two weeks of walking via the different villages and purely natural beauties. The main inhabitants of this area are Tamang and Sherpa people who physically and culturally resemble Tibetan people. Their culture is still thriving in the traditional manner.

Langtang Helambu Trek begins at Syabrubesi after a 5 to 6-hour scenic drive from Kathmandu. Then, it goes through the Tamang heritage villages and untouched forests with rhododendron, juniper, pine, and bamboo. Mostly it follows the bank of Langtang Khola until the Kyangin Gumba and the trail retrace until the hot spring. Then it ascends through the hillside typical villages to the Gosainkunda (4460m) via Thulo Syabrugaun, Chandanbari, and Cholangpati. There are 108 lakes in this area but the most popular lakes are Gosainkunda, Saraswati Kunda, and Ganeshkunda; all of which are nearby each other. Then cross over Laurebinayak Pass (4,609m) to the Helambu side enjoying the beautiful Yolmu Sherpa ethnic settlement with breathtaking mountains view. And the trail offers beautiful rice terraces and a number of splendid Buddhist monasteries around the delightful villages. The trekking ends either to Sundarijal via Chisopani and drives back to Kathmandu or takes an alternative route to the Helambu to Melamchi Bazaar to Kathmandu. Langtang Circuit Trek basically popular for the Tea House Trekking but we can offer your Camping Trek too.

Gosainkunda Pass Trekking is highly recommended for the whole of the year but February to May and August to November are the best months. Spring is the perfect time for the Rhododendron to bloom the entire trail. It would be our great pleasure to make your holidays more relaxed able and comfortable through our life experience local guide and friendly staff. Nepal Mother House Treks organize Langtang Helambu Trip Itinerary according to your holiday phase and interest. We are hearing from your heartily welcome to join this trip.

Langtang/Gosainkund/Helambu trek and carpet buying
Tom Beavers, Seattle, WA (USA) Karna, thank you so much for another wonderful trek. This is my 3rd trek with you - the first being the Annapurna Circuit and then a tour of the Everest region, starting at Jiri and then trekking up to Gokyo, going over Cho La, up to Kala Pattar, and then up the Chukhung valley. I continue to learn so much about Nepal from you, even on my 3rd trip! On the Langtang Helambu trek, I appreciated the stories about the bee hives on the cliffs and the trail that was closed because of the black bear. And thank you for translating the stories from our Nepali friends that we met along the way. Those cured Nepalese lepers, that were training to climb Everest, were incredible and so interesting to talk with. When I got sick for a couple of days at Kyanjin Gompa, you did a great job of caring for me, bringing me soup and tea, and encouraging me to eat when I felt nauseous. You were so patient on the trail until I recovered my strength. Above Thulo Syabru, I really like the local trails that you took Chris and me on, away from the main trail. It was fun walking through the local farmer's fields and visiting with the locals, but it was sure tiring climbing all their fences! At Gosainkund, you did such a great job telling stories about the lakes, the gods, and the Hindus that pilgrimage there each August. On top of Laurebina La, the awesome view of the Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and the Annapurnas will be etched in my mind forever. I wish we could have spent more time lying on the grass taking in that incredible view. The whole trip was perfect. And those orchids were so beautiful, as we descended toward Sundarijal.
After arriving in Kathmandu, celebrating Tihar Tika with your family was very special for me. I will never forget it. And finally, thank you for your wonderful tour of the Kathmandu valley, including a cherished trip back to Jawalakhel to purchase a wonderful carpet for my wife. You helped me pick out a great one, and my wife loves it! Anyone who books a trip with Nepal Mother House Treks is in for a real treat!

Unforgettable Langtang-Helambu Trekking Experience Age 70
I did the Langtang-Helambu 18-day trek with Nepal Mother House in April 2019, a month before turning 70, and wouldn’t have missed it for the world – the most beautiful scenery on earth, IMHO. You certainly can do this on your own and save a little money. But it was worth it to me to have Jayaram, my combination guide and porter, carry most of my gear and handle the logistics as we went along. All I had to do was follow in his footsteps. We ran into weather – snow while ascending towards Laurebina Pass – and he had the knowledge and experience I lacked to decide to press ahead. We encountered a number of hazardous snow fields on our descent, and my guide gave me the confidence to cross them. (Hiking in the Sierra back home, I would have turned around.) I’m in good condition, and I didn’t find the Langtang Valley with Helambu hiking especially difficult. The living conditions were another matter. Do your research before going. Karna, the tour organizer, was easy to deal with and responded promptly to my inquiries before the trip. All the connections in Nepal went smoothly.
My tour did not include Kathmandu sightseeing, which Karna arranged separately for me. I found it a little pricey; you can probably book something there cheaper. Have an itinerary ready of what you want to see in the city. The NMH office is just down the block from the little hotel they put me up in. It’s all very much above-board and transparent to a visiting Westerner. I found the many Nepalese people I encountered, without exception, very warm and friendly. And loved the Dal Bhat! They’ll keep filling your plate with rice and lentils and veggies until you’re stuffed.
