The Langtang-Gosainkunda region lies north of Kathmandu, close to the Tibetan border. The rough road now reaches as far as Dhunche, only a day’s drive from Kathmandu. Yet, despite this, Langtang remains a relatively less-trodden area. Bill Tilman, a famous explorer and climbing partner of Eric Shipton, described Langtang as one of the world’s most beautiful valleys. We exit by passing the holy lake of Gosainkunda and crossing the Laurebina La (4100m). Here, we have excellent view into Tibet and meet Hindu pilgrims before gradually dropping down the ridges and driving back to Kathmandu.
