We make sure that the safety requirements have been checked off before we even begin the trip.  After the briefing, the helicopter takes off leaving the airstrip behind and heads to the north. As we fly over the dense city of Kathmandu, we enter Langtang National Park in just a few minutes of take-off. Swirling above the scattered Tamang settlements and flying beside the giants of verdant green hills, we will reach the Gosaikunda Lake after approximately 15 to 17 minutes.  Upon landing at Gosaikunda at an altitude of 4,380m, we will be greeted with the backdrop of a massive Langtang mountain range right in front of us.

The Gosaikunda Lake looks unreal in-person and it gives out a peaceful aura with the soothing sound, enough for you to let go of everything and just be present at the moment. You will find yourself surrounded by the giant mountains of the Langtang range. The weather at Gosaikunda can go from sunny to snowy real quick.

What people are saying about Bagmati Zone

I did the Everest Base Camp Trek in Feb 2023 and had an incredible time. The team at Outshine Adventures were superb in providing timely information, accommodation and ensuring I had the proper gear before the trek. They were also kind enough to help me retrieve my luggage from the airport which was delayed upon arrival in Nepal. The Outshine team provided a fantastic day tour of Kathmandu prior to the trek, where I was able to learn more about the culture and city with a very experienced guide, making the beginning of this trip that much more exciting. The trek itself was unbelievably stunning and was both a humbling and an amazing experience. My guide, Dillisher Katuwal was truly world class in both his experience of the mountains as well as ensuring I was safe each step of the way. Trekking with him was incredibly enjoyable and rewarding. For anyone considering any form of adventure to Nepal, I would highly recommend this company as well as Dillisher Katuwal as your guide.

A professional service and a reliable tour!….In August, I first experienced Bungee Jumping and then 3-4 days of Shivapuri climbing. I came to Nepal alone, but both my tour operator and my guide never made me feel alone. Experiencing trekking in Shivapuri even if I don't have much time. and seeing the scenery in Nagargot was an amazing experience. Before that, I did Bungee jumping as a daytrip. I definitely think it is something that should be experienced in Nepal. My tour operator Sujan was very helpful both before and upon arrival. The whole trekking with Pemba was a lot of fun. He was almost like a Map about the roads. Thank you both very much. I can't wait for my next trip

I had an amazing time solo trekking for 3 days with Alpine Club of Himalaya and my guide - Pemba. The trek itself was beautiful, with stunning views, walk through villages, and wonderful night stays. I had an amazing time. My guide Pemba was so kind, patient and knowledgeable. He was a fantastic guide. Being a solo female traveller, I also felt very comfortable and free to enjoy this journey at my pace. I strongly recommend him and the team to anyone who decides to go on an adventure in Nepal.

This trek passes through Shivapuri National Park, authentic villages and fields. We were rewarded with great views of the valleys. Before, during and after the tour we were well looked after. Especially our Guide's Pemba & Nima made this hike an unforgettable experience by introducing us to the incredibly friendly local people. Thanks a lot for this.

Outshine is good company they prepare everything very well :)
