Had to get evacuated but the team was incredibleÂ
Had to get helicoptered out partway through the kanchenjunga trek due to my respiratory issue, wasnt the trip i planned for. but honestly the team stayed on top of it the whole time, kept me in the loop, made sure i was sorted before anything else. scary moment but it actually made me trust them more. Still think about finishing that trek one day

Adding Kyanjin Ri and Tserko Ri with the family was the best decision
Added an extra day on the Langtang Valley Trek to climb Kyanjin Ri and Tserko Ri with my family, and it ended up being the best decision of the whole trip. The views from up there were completely different from anything we saw lower down, well worth the tired legs the next day. If anyone’s debating whether to add those extra climbs, we’d say do it, especially if you’re already this close.

Great trek but definitely add the Gosaikunda extension if you can
Overall a really good experience on the Langtang Valley Trek, well organized and the team was helpful throughout. If I did it again, I’d probably build in an extension to Gosaikunda since we were already in the area and it seemed a shame not to. Nine days felt just slightly short once we got a taste of the valley. Would recommend adding it as an option for others considering the same route.

Beautiful Langtang peaks but busier than expected
The Langtang Valley Trek itself was beautiful, especially the walk up to Kyanjin Gompa with those peaks closing in around you. Only thing I’d mention is it felt busier than I expected on the trail, especially the lower sections. Would love to come back in a quieter season and just take it in without so many people around. Still, the valley itself more than made up for it.

Sudden langtang gosaikunda plan was by best mid life crisis decision so far
I book this trek alone, mid life crisis kind of trip if I am honest, needed to think about some things. The walk from Lama Hotel up to Langtang village on day four was where it start to change something in me, forest so quiet, only river sound and my own breath. Kyangin Gompa morning was clear sky and I climb little bit up behind the monastery just to sit, no rush, guide let me have this time alone which I appreciate very much. By the time we reach Gosainkunda I was in a different headspace completely, watching pilgrims circle that lake, some of them walk very far to be there, made my own small problems feel less heavy. Not a technical trek, but Langtang Gosainkunda gave me more than I plan for when I booked it. One note, the wifi promise in some tea house was not always working, but honestly I did not mind disconnecting.

Trek with father and my sister to gosaikunda
I travel with my sister and our father who is 68, he trek in Nepal many years ago when he was young man and he wanted to see it again before he cannot anymore. We choose easier pace and guide was very good about this, never rush him. Singh Gompa cheese factory was funny moment, my father buy so much cheese he almost cannot close his bag! We also see red panda area near Chandanbari, did not see the animal itself but forest was beautiful anyway. Descent day to Dhunche was hard for his knee like others say, maybe more warning about this in advance would help. But watching him at Gosainkunda lake, so peaceful on his face, this alone was worth whole trip for me and my sister.

Langtang gosainkunda hit different in October
Did the 12 days langtang gosainkunda trek in october and it was way less crowded than i expected which i loved. kyangin gompa was so cool, went up early morning for the view and just sat there for like an hour, mountains everywhere. also that cheese factory near singh gompa, bought like 3 blocks lol worth every rupee. Gosainkunda lake on day 9 though thats the real deal only issue was my knee going down to dhunche after, brutal descent, bring poles trust me

Lukla changed my trekking perspective
Walking back to Lukla on the last day, I genuinely didn’t want it to be over. Every step felt like leaving something behind that I wasn’t quite ready to let go of yet. It probably sounds a bit much, but anyone who’s done this trek will understand. That trail has a way of staying with you long after you’re home, and I’m already thinking about when I might go back.

Can literally do everest high passes again
Last day walking to lukla on the Everest High Passes Trek and i genuinely didn’t want it to end. like every step back was a step away from something i wasn’t ready to leave yet. sounds dramatic but if you’ve done it you know what i mean, that trail just gets into you. already thinking about when i can go back

A rest day at Gokyo became major highlight unexpectedly
Did the Everest High Passes Trek and gokyo was on another level, like actually stopped me in my tracks. Rest day there just wandering around the lake, no rush, was probably my favorite day of the whole trip. namche was good too honestly, just that slower pace after all the climbing felt so needed. didn’t expect a rest day to be a highlight but here we are
