Overview

Book now »

Seeing the Annapurnas, Dhualagiri and Tibet stretching out in the distance is a once-in-a-lifetime experience

Introduction

"We really got to know the people running the lodges and enjoyed finding out about their culture; especially the Tibetan end; we really hadn't been exposed to that previously." CM

This is a fantastic trek; it's challenging, beautiful and culturally satisfying. It's a great opportunity to observe the Tibetan and Sherpa cultures and also the holy significance of the Gosainkunda Lakes to the Hindu and Buddhist Nepalis.

Join us on the Langtang and Gosainkunda Trek

• Supporting Langtang. The local people on the entire trek are very warm and welcoming. Langtang Village has been re-built since the devastating earthquake in 2015 and the teahouses have been built to a higher standard (some have en-suite bathrooms).
• Our itinerary and acclimatisation schedule is carefully designed. We stay overnight at Gosainkunda Lakes (4380m), which is why we acclimatise by trekking the Langtang side first.
• The trek is led by a highly experienced Jagged Globe Sherpa Guide. They are supported by a Nepalese Sirdar who knows the trek well, plus porters.

Tailor-made option

We can organise this trek on a ‘tailor-made’ private basis for groups of friends, families, clubs, charities or any other group. Depending on your trekking experience, you may want a Jagged Globe leader or go ‘self-led’ with the assistance of local guides. The cost of going private can be surprisingly reasonable, particularly if you take the self-led option. Please contact us to discuss the itinerary and your preferred dates. We will then send you a quote, with no obligation.

Insurance

You will need a travel insurance policy that caters for the activities you will undertake on your trip with Jagged Globe. It is a requirement of our booking conditions that you have such a policy.
