Essential Information
Climate and best season for hiking
The spring
and autumn season is considered the best time for Langtang Gosainkunda Trek, as
the weather and temperature are calm and constant during these seasons. The
spring months offer the blooming of rhododendrons and many seasonal flowers.
Fall is also one of the best times to explore and enjoy various Nepalese
festivals like Dashain and Tihar.
Winter and
summer are less suitable compared to spring and autumn. In winter, the
temperature level drops below freezing, making walking to higher regions less
pleasant. The days are cold, followed by episodes of snowfall and blizzards.
Summer also comes with heavy rains and unpredictable weather. With the right
gears, however, you can walk into the Langtang Gosainkunda region all year
round.
Travel insurance
Travel
insurance for each itinerary of our agency is a prerequisite for booking a
