Langtang Valley/Gosainkund Lake Trek, a 3900-meter elevation hike in the Tibetan and Buddhist-inhabited region, offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere. However, some argue that relying on wifi at high elevations detracts from the immersive nature of the trek. Disconnecting from technology and immersing in the present moment can enhance the trekking experience and create lasting memories.

"Gosainkunda Lake Trek"

25-Aug-2020

My wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary with a trip to Nepal to visit the Gosainkund Lake trek. We collaborated with Mount Adventure Holidays for this well-managed and unique trek. The Kyanjin Ri offered breathtaking views, and wifi service was available at the settlement, which is 3900m above sea level. This trek is worth visiting once in Nepal, especially for couples and families. We saw many monasteries and chortens and learned that this region is mainly inhabited by Tibetan and Buddhist people. We are very pleased with our trek, as it allowed us to experience nature, wildlife, the local people's lifestyle, and stunning views of flora and fauna.

Langtang Valley, a 3900-meter elevation hike in the Tibetan region, offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere. However, some argue that relying on wifi at high elevations detracts from the immersive nature of the trek. Disconnecting from technology can enhance the trekking experience, create lasting memories, and encourage mindfulness. While unplugging can enhance the hiking experience, staying connected can provide safety measures and communication with loved ones. Technology can also responsibly document and share the beauty of the valley.
