The place where you stay, as well as certain teahouses along the way, provide food according to the schedule.You will have a proper breakfast, lunch, and dinner during your trek. There, you can find various options for the foods. You reach great altitudes on the Langtang Gosaikunda hike. Your body needs enough nutrient-rich meals as a result. While you will find plenty of delicious and nutritional food in the trek regions, there won’t be as many options as there are in cities.

The lodging facility will serve food, as will several of the teahouses you pass along the way, according to the itinerary. Throughout your walk, you will have a normal, complete breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are several different food options available.

The breakfast menu includes French toast with jam, oatmeal, cheese, butter, honey, Tibetan bread or chapati, the local dish of tsampa, eggs, pancakes, muesli breads, fruits, and vegetables, as well as hot beverages with various tea and coffee options.

Non-vegetarian options will also be presented to you in the trekking zones, but it is best to avoid them because the meat in these areas could not be clean and healthful.

Difficulties you might face during the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek

The route to Langtang Gosaikunda Pass trek is breathtaking. However, there’s a chance that the expedition may provide you with a variety of challenges. Everything is determined by who is trekking and what season it is.Let’s look at some of the challenges that might arise throughout the Langtang Gosaikunda trek.

  • For individuals who are descending from sea level, altitude might be an issue. There is a chance you will experience acute mountain sickness, also known as altitude sickness.Altitude sickness should thus be avoided at all costs. Walk carefully and make sure your body is well hydrated to reduce the dangers of sickness.
  • This may be too much for some hikers, in which case you run the risk of falling and getting hurt or contracting the flu virus. This disease develops when a high altitude is reached and the body is unable to adapt to the shifting atmospheric pressures.
  • Mid-hill treks include the Langtang Gosaikunda hike. The route is mostly covered with trees, bushes, and grassland. Therefore, you are more likely to suffer leech bites if you hike during the monsoon. For that, use table salt or insect repellents.
  • There are some areas with narrow paths. If a yak caravan is approaching, move to a safer area and wait for it to pass. There is a possibility that they will force you over the edge.
  • Experienced hikers prohibit other hikers from inhaling the scent of flowers. Some locals even claim that the fragrance of the blooms can cause altitude sickness.They claim that the flowers might be deadly.
  • For individuals who have never gone on a trek, the 16-day Langtang Gosaikundan Pass itinerary may be too long. Trekking could be a little more challenging than you imagine. As a result, you may feel exhausted and tired in the middle of the hike.
  • Avalanches, flooding, landslides, and other similar natural disasters are all quite likely. As a result, when hiking, you must use caution and be alert.

  • Drink at least 2 liters of water daily.
  • Get plenty of rest. If you feel like your body needs extra rest, get it.
  • Eat foods high in protein and calories.
  • While ascending and reaching a high altitude, avoid smoking or drinking.
  • If at all possible, stay away from non-vegetarian food because the animal products may be harmful.
  • Inform your guide as soon as you feel uncomfortable breathing.
  • Langtang Gosaikunda pass Trek: Physical Fitness and Health

Nepal best company for your Langtang valley trek

We are acquainted with Mr. Puru since 2008 for our Langtang valley trek and other treks to Nepal. We were very pleased with the excellent services we have received from him and his company during our several visits to Nepal, including accommodation, transportation, guides, and porters in the treks, city, and site visits.

Puru took care of all our needs, from the moment we stepped down from the flight until we left Nepal. He is responsible, reliable, and resourceful on all our trips to Nepal. We have brought a few ladies’ groups and all were taken care of well by guide and staff. It was nice to work with him all the time. We always knew we could count on Mr.Puru to find a solution to every question/problem.

We highly recommend Above the Himalaya and its services.

Langtang valley trekking Trip of a lifetime Thank you, Puru

When planning our trekking holiday about two months prior to the actual holiday we sent several requests for trekking agencies to get a look at possible itineraries. In comparison to many other agencies, Puru responded to our e-mails very soon and helped us fine-tune our upcoming holiday itinerary in a way that would suit us the best. We always got a response quickly and everything was well-taken care of.

Puru’s caring and helpful attitude were obvious; he was there for us 24-7. As my husband ended up in a hospital because of stomach flu not only did Puru help us with getting to the hospital but also spent time there waiting with us to make sure everything was ok.

We recommend this company for all trekkers.
