The best time for Langtang-Gosaikunda-Trek

The weather is the important component to consider for a trek to Langtang-Gosaikunda-Trek. Spring and autumn are the most favorable seasons for a simple trek with amazing peak vistas. At the time of winter, the trek areas are cold because of snowfall, while during the summer monsoon makes the trails slippery and wet. 

January–February 

This is the coldest season, significantly from early January to early February. There is heavy snowfall on the mountain since the temperature dips. Daytime will be warm and adorable with clear skies but the night is cold. Trek will be a little demanding nonetheless, you will acquire magical vistas of snow-capped hills and peaks. 

March–April

It is one the best times to trek to the Langtang and Gosaikunda. The weather is very favorable, and you can get amazing vistas of the Langtang Lirung, Langtang II, and other peaks. Temperature begins rising from Mid-March, and a lot of trekkers select to trek to the Langtang Gosaikunda region at this time. The luscious green, thick bamboo, and birch forest add a fresh dimension to the entire trek experience. 

May–June

This is also an excellent period for trekking, right before the monsoon. Rainfall in Nepal starts from the end of June till Mid-August. The spring-summer season makes the trek music more amusing. 

September–October 

It is another excellent season for the Langtang-Gosaikunda-Trek. As the monsoon gradually ends, an excellent trekking climate begins. The temperature goes up to 20 degrees at the day time and falls to 5 degrees during night. Most tekkers enjoy trekking the most during these months since the skies are clear, letting great vistas of the peaks. We highly recommend this time of the Langtang Valley Trek, significantly between Mid to end of September. Nepal’s two biggest festivals –Dashain and Tihar – are also celebrated in these months.
