Overview

Langtang is a narrow sandwiched valley, north from Kathmandu. The small valley bordering with Tibet in north and small snowy peaks in the south. Tamang is the main indigenous community inhabitant in this region, whose religious practice, dresses and language is close to Tibetan culture rather than their own fellow of mid hills. MAI run Langtang Gosaikunda Trekking every year in spring and fall.
According to local language the word “Langtang has its own meaning. The name Langtang comes from Tibetan language, where ‘Lang’ Yak and ‘Teng’ mean – to follow. Yet trekkers can encounter with yak in upper valley in Langtang.

Langtang Gosaikunda Trekking offers one of the best opportunity to explore the culturally rich Tamang village, different snow covered peak and visit glaciers comparatively in low elevation. The valley is patrolling by Mt. Langtang LIrung (7,246m) to the north, Gang Chhenpo (6,388m) and trekking peak Naya Kangri (5,846m) to the south and Dorge Lakpa (6,966m) to the east. To protect the flora and fauna, the valley was declared as National Park by Nepal government in 1976.
Langtang Gosaikunda Trekking has famous pilgrimage site called Gosaikunda Lake. The Gosaikunda area has been delineated as a religious site.

Hindu mythology attributes Gosaikunda as the abode of Hindu deities Lord Shiva and Goddess Gauri. The Hindu scriptures Bhagavata Purana and Vishnu Purana, and the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata refer to Samudra manthan, which is directly related to the origin of Gosaikunda. Its holy waters are considered of particular significance during Gangadashahara and the sacred thread festival Janai Purnima when thousands of pilgrims from Nepal and India visit the area. Gosaikunda is believed to have formed from the digging of the land by the Trishul (holy three-pointed sword) of lord Shiva after he drank the poison from Samudra manthan and desperately wanted cold water to quench the overwhelming heat.
