Road travel can be long and conditions change. The valley offers a substantial mountain experience without a domestic flight, but the upper trail still involves altitude and cold.

Gosaikunda and Helambu are separate route options that can be combined only with adequate time and planning.

Know before you go

  • Allow a full day for road travel each way, often more.
  • Acclimatise before attempting high viewpoints.
  • Confirm road and trail status locally.

Confirm current conditions and requirements with a qualified local operator before departure.
