trekking in nepal- langtang goshainkunda lake trek

Complete Guide for Langtang Valley & Goshainkunda Trek

The journey started in a small group of fifteen members’ .Our enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the adventure was at an all-time high. We’ve all completed our thesis, and that sleepless night, the jury is coming to an end. So the call from the mountains in Nepal, Langtang Region was an extremely needed break for each of us.

Our journey began by driving 6-7 hours to Kathmandu towards Syaprubesi. We had planned to begin our journey on the next day, with a warm-up of about 4 hours before we reached our place of stay for the entire day in Khamjing.

The second day began with everyone laughing as we played around and eating lunch in the mountains, with horses roaring on the property. We then put on our bags, held the stick, put on our cap, and began our walk beginning from Khamjing towards a goal of River side. Since the group was a big group, we would always end having to split into smaller groups, which is why we had to indicate a place prior to the walk to sit and wait for everyone to arrive and that served as our lunch and resting place. After a long walking, Nepali thali served with the same authenticity and taste of the locals is sure to give your stomach with a happy glow. Food is delicious and easy to prepare on any hike. Be prepared for the fact that the shops are limited in quantity of electricity. So, better make use of your electric gadget in an appropriate manner.

We were always able to look at our loved ones, and walk around and choose the best place to stay in accordance with the needs of each. A long , muddy path that gives you an amazing grassy area within the strenuous walking, those spots just cheer you up so that during the night you will all walk more closely and spend time together by eating, singing and walking. Looking at your final destination in the day will make you feel in a state of relaxation. Everyone will gather around an unending fire of balms and ointments to ease another muscle. When you go on a trek an appropriate mindset that is to live and bear whatever conditions you’re given must be developed. We were able to go outside since all the rooms were booked at one station but experienced the most unforgettable memory of the trip.

From riverside from the riverside to kyanjinggomba in that it varies in altitude and distance, we have to walk making our bodies adjust to the conditions and air. We had lunch in Langtang Valley and then went to KyanjingGomba In ignorance of the symptoms caused by altitude, we continued walking, not adjusting our bodies, since we’ve seen more open and flat paths for a long time and in a rush we continued walking. The hustle caused my friends suffer from the effects of altitude sickness, so we were able to bring them back to the langtang valley. A different group of our group has reached Kyanjinggompa. While we hustle and run we see white drops of white cottons rushing everywhere from the sky. We all experienced it for the first-time. The snow made us forget discomfort in the legs, nausea, and everything else in just a few minutes.

The next day, me and a group of our friends set off from the Langtang Valley towards kyanjinggomba, to get to our friends. Help and hospitality from locals was always appreciated in the process of stabilizing our sick friend to reaching out to our friends from our other group. The journey to Kyanjing, to see mountains, rivers all eased our suffering and stress away. We met with our group of friends, went on a hike to kyanjingri and then stayed for the night in the kyanjinggomba. We were fortunate enough to witness with the Sherpa wedding on the same day. Being able to experience a different culture on any trip is a great feeling. We had a great time laughing, dancing, and playing around. The walks were all worthwhile by the beautiful surroundings of Kyanjing.

The idea of a trek that enthralled us from the beginning, but the same trek once it’s completed will help us remember it by the numerous areas.We were able to experience, learn and experience cultures not yet known to us while making new acquaintances. In the end, the peace and tranquility that brought us to the trail was achieved in a considerable. We were able to observe different behaviors of nature during our trek magnificent mountain covered with snow on a the rain, shattered snow on hills during the sun grassland, grassland and a ground location and from glaciers to rivers Mother Nature revealed the different patterns she has in her life. In the end, our 15 people learned more about the teamwork and were gifted with the memory of a lifetime which will inspire us to take the next adventure in the near future.
