Nepal Social Treks Review

I’ve just completed the 15 day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Social Treks and can’t praise the company, guide & porter highly enough. My guide in particular, Lhakpa was an absolute star who could not do enough to make the time away as comfortable as possible. Considerate, knowledgeable, funny, kind & inspiring. I genuinely don’t think I could have completed the trek without their support! A lifetime ambition completed thanks :)

Great guide

The Everest Base Camp trek was amazing. Everything was organised for us. The accommodation and food was better than we expected. Our guide Amrit was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He adjusted our trip to follow our pace. When we got sick, he was extremely helpful and caring, and made sure we got the care we needed. We can't wait to return to trek again.

Awesome Annapurna Trek

We were extremely happy with our choice of Nepal Social Trekking for the 12 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek. We were expecting a group, but in the end, it was just my wife and I and Guide Kamal with Porter Nabin. Kamal always seemed to get us the best rooms at the Tea Houses and his knowledge of the trek was outstanding. He assisted and monitored our water intake, food and oxygen stats every day over 3000m, so on the morning we set off for Thorung La pass, we did it with ease. No headaches or any other issues. Our Porter was always very obliging and together they made a great team. Flights back to Kathmandu and other admin didn’t seem any issue. We highly recommend the company

Reaching Everest Base Camp was a dream of mine and this trek was really amazing!! Narayan, our guide, was truly skilled and great company; he supported us even in the most difficult moments. A heartfelt thank you to the porters, who, tireless and always smiling, made our trek possible! Well done, everyone!

FAQs about Langtang Gosaikunda Trek

Expand all

What kinds of insurance do I need for this trek?

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is a moderate and easily accessible trek from Kathmandu. Compared to Everest Base Camp or Manaslu Circuit Trek, this trek is a significantly easy walk. You should not neglect this trek. Remember, you’ll be hiking up to 5,050 meters at Kyanjin Ri and crossing Laurebina Pass at 4,610 meters.This elevation is enough to strike severe high altitude sickness. In addition to that, the route in the upper valleys of Langtang is quite dangerous and is highly vulnerable to landslides.So, all trekkers must have travel insurance before heading to Langtang Gosaikunda Trek. Each trekker should mandatorily provide a copy of travel insurance to Nepal Social Trek before the trek. While you can also get insurance for pretty cheap, we highly suggest you buy a comprehensive policy that covers all the necessary expenses.While buying a policy, make sure it covers medical expenses, trip cancelation, accidents, theft, and helicopter evacuation fees up to 5,000 meters.

What is the accommodation like on Langtang Gosaikunda Trek?

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is one of the most accessible trekking destinations from Kathmandu. Therefore, the teahouses and lodges in this region are pretty well-managed and offer standard services.The teahouses and lodges in Langtang Gosaikunda Trek provide all the essential services, such as rooms, food, toilets, charging facilities, WiFi, and hot showers. Also, the rooms and services are considerably comfortable, cozy, and hospitable in this region.Our team at Nepal Social Treks are ambitious to provide our clients with quality services and memorable experiences. Hence, our company guarantees to provide the most comfortable and hospitable accommodation service at every overnight stop on the trek.

What is the food like on Langtang Gosaikunda Trek?

The teahouses and lodges of Langtang Gosaikunda Trek serve both Nepali as well as western cuisines. So, we will serve both Nepali and western meals during the trek. The number one priority of Nepal Social Treks has always been health and hygiene. Our trekking guides will ensure that the meals served during the trek will be healthy, fresh, nutritious, hygienic, and delicious.Here is a list of popular items on our menu:Breakfast - Hot Chocolates, Tea, Coffee, Pancakes, Muesli, Oatmeal, Tibetan Bread, Egg (Boiled, Fried, Omelets), French Toast (with Jam, Butter, and Honey), Local Tsampa Porridge, Fruits, etc.Lunch - Dal Bhat, Sherpa Stew, Tibetan Bread, Momo, Hot Soup, Sandwich, Pizza, Noodles, Pasta, Spaghetti, Thukpa, Fruits, Vegetable Salads, etc.Dinner - Dal Bhat, Hot Soups, Sherpa Stew, Sandwich, Momo, Thenduk, Macaroni, Pizza, Thukpa, Pasta, Noodles, Vegetable Salads, Desserts, Tea, Hot Chocolate, etc.

Am I likely to suffer from Acute Mountain Sickness on this trek?

Typically, the possibility of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) starts once you cross the mark of 3,500 meters above sea level. In Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, the highest elevation point is at 5,050 meters at Tserko Ri. Likewise, the highest overnight stop of the trek is at 4,380 meters at Gosaikunda. Therefore, the risk of suffering from high altitude sickness is significantly high on this trek.But, not everyone is likely to suffer from AMS! If you take the necessary precautions, it is quite possible to minimize its possibilities. Do not rush or run over to the destination. Instead, walk comfortably and drink enough water as it can help you reduce the chances significantly.

How's the drinking water on the trek? Is it safe to drink?

The teahouse in the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek provides clean and safe drinking water, whether you choose to drink cold water or boiled water. It is advisable to carry a water bottle on the trek and fill the bottle in the teahouse. Even though the water is safe to drink, we recommend you treat them with purifiers or tablets after each fill.You can also buy bottled water in the small shops and teahouse throughout the route. However, we do not suggest that our clients buy bottled water as it creates more plastic waste in the mountains.
