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.
