Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu trek tips

Given the remoteness of this region and the offbeat trek route, travel insurance is important. It will allow you to receive medical assistance and evacuation promptly if needed.
  • Foreign trekkers visiting Nepal need a valid passport and a travel visa to enter the country. You can get both of these documents in your country. A travel visa can be obtained upon arriving at the Tribhuvan International Airport. Check out www.immigration.gov.np site for more information.
  • There is no ATM on the Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu trek route, so you have to withdraw money in Kathmandu to use during the trek. Keep a small denomination with you.
  • The WiFi and cellular network are good at the start and end of the trail. However, once you are deep into the region, the network may not be as stable. WiFi is available for a few bucks in the guesthouse. Likewise, you can buy a tourist sim with data in Kathmandu.
  • Charming and hot showers cost you a few extra bucks every time. These are your personal expenses, so budget accordingly. You can carry a solar charger, power bank, wet wipes, etc for backup.
  • Tips are a huge part of the tourism industry in Nepal. The guide and porter especially expect a tip at the end of their service. If you are happy with their work, we highly recommend you tip them as a thank-you gesture.
