Most Asked Questions by Travellers

The weather in Gosainkunda is mostly humid and cold and it is quite unpredictable as it can change quickly. It is always advisable to bring warm clothes, good hiking boots, a water bottle and walking steak, sunglasses, and raincoats to visit there. The better weather we get there is from Mid September to October and March to May.

One can complete the Gosaikunda trek without a guide and porters. However, we recommend hiring one or two guides and porters for the Langtang Trail. Always go with the company that has guides who are knowledgeable about the entire Gosaikunda region, not just Gosaikunda trekking, and who are adequately insured.

Since the beginning of the Gosaikunda area trek, it has been much more advantageous to have a local guide since it helps them support and promote their livelihood.

English-speaking local guides will accompany you the entire time on the walk. Although they won’t be able to carry your bags, they will be able to assist you by answering your questions and providing local knowledge as you travel. It is usually advised to travel with a guide. You could get AMS if you’re going at a high altitude, but if you don’t know how to trek, your guide will be quite useful.

During the journey, porters will just carry your belongings for you. They don’t know much English, so any questions you ask won’t be understood. You may move around without restriction if you accompany your porter, who will help you carry your stuff.

Although it may cost you a bit extra, it is worthwhile to pay for them. You will receive proper guidance, and you may walk about freely while taking in the local scenery without carrying any extra weight.

The cost of your trekking depends on your expenses, such as how you travel, what you bring with you, and what you eat while on your trek. The Langtang Gosaikunda Trekking Cost ranges from $800 to 1100 USD for a 10- to 12-day trek.
