The ascent to Lama Hotel is steep, with an elevation gain of over 1000m by the time the destination is reached.

Kyanjin Gompa - Leaving Langtang village, the path gradually climbs through yak pastures and the quaint villages of Mumdu and Sindum. Crossing a wooden cantilever bridge over Langtang Khola, a wider valley scattered with large boulders leads to a moraine. Here, Kyanjin Gompa and the spectacular icefall from Langtang Lirung and Langtang Kinshung (6781m) to the north come into view. The path navigates through these boulders before a brief descent to Kyanjin Gompa.

Gosainkunda - After passing the school and army post, a steep ascent above the village leads to Dursagang. From there, the trail becomes less steep, winding through the forest to the top of the ridge at Fhulung Danda. Along the way, occasional shepherd huts may be encountered, but the area is mostly uninhabited. As the head of the valley is crossed, the trail levels out, eventually reaching Sing Gompa, passing through dense forest and enjoying the natural beauty of the region.

To Gosainkund (4100m). Walk approx 5 hrs

Gosainkunda - A steep climb up the ridge offers dramatic views of Himal Chuli and Manaslu as a backdrop. The area is a sanctuary for the endangered red panda. After passing a few huts in the high pasture of Laurebina, a ridge is crossed for the first view of the holy lakes of Gosainkund. Legend has it that Shiva created the lake by piercing a glacier with his trident to obtain water to quench his thirst after consuming poison. Stone shelters at Gosainkund are used by pilgrims who visit to worship and bathe during the full-moon festival each August.

To Duphi Charu (3450m). Walk approx 7 hrs

Chisapani - Continuing the climb, three additional lakes near the Laurebina Pass (4610m) are passed before descending alongside a stream to the national park post at Bhera Goth. The trail then descends to a stream and climbs through scrub bamboo to a crest before dropping to Duphi Charu.

To Army camp (3220m). Walk approx 6 hrs

Chisapani - The ascent continues through the ravines until reaching Tharepati. Along the ridge, views of the Helambu region can be enjoyed. Afterward, the descent to the tree line offers beautiful waterfalls and rhododendron forest on the way to the army camp.
