Langtang Valley via Gosainkunda and Upper Langtang Day Hike led by Ang Tsering Sherpa

There were some pretty tough days getting back up to the higher altitudes after descending back down Langtang but this section of the walk seemed much quieter than the main Langtang route. There were a lot more Nepalese trekkers here going up to the lakes for religious ceremonies which was nice to witness. The lakes are spectacular and worth trying to allocate a couple of days to stay there rather than rushing back down.
