Questions travellers ask
Is January a good time to visit Langtang & Gosaikunda?
January is the coldest month, with dry air and long clear views. The low treks are excellent: Chisapani and the Shivapuri hills face Langtang Lirung and Ganesh Himal, and Helambu's villages are sunny by day. The Langtang Valley is possible with good gear, but Kyanjin Gompa drops well below freezing at night and snow can block the trail above Langtang village. Gosaikunda is usually frozen and snowbound, and the route to Laurebina La is not advised.
What is the weather like in Langtang & Gosaikunda in January?
Kyanjin Gompa −14 to 4 °C, Chisapani −2 to 12 °C, dry and clear. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
