Questions and answers

Do I need to acclimatise?

Yes. The ascent is steep. Walk slowly and drink water.

Which permits are required?

Langtang National Park permit and TIMS card. We arrange them.

What if the helicopter cannot fly?

Weather can delay it. Keep a buffer day in Kathmandu.

How hard is the trek?

Moderate, with steep sections.

The classic Gosaikunda trek takes 5 to 7 days. With a helicopter return, the trek is 4 days and avoids the long descent.

You drive to Dhunche, climb to Sing Gompa and walk over Lauribina La to the lake. Acclimatisation matters because the gain is steep.
