Amazing father and daughter experience
Just completed a 12 day trek with my 17 year old daughter. Starting from Syaphrubesi, first visiting Langtang Valley and Kyanjin Gompa followed by Sing Gompa and the very special Gosainkund. We descended to finish at Dunche. Our guide Himesh and porter Bharat were like family, so kind and caring, always going the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. We truly fave become friends over the past 12 days and I highly recommend their service and the service provided by Nepal Social Treks, five stars 👍.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Namaste, We are so happy to hear that you fully enjoyed the Gosaikunda trip. It is our great pleasure to help you explore Nepal. Thank you so much for the kind review and we hope to see you again for a new adventure in Nepal. Thank you! -Team, Nepal Social Treks

Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $793 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days?

Not included: Gratuities for guide and porter; Services other than mentioned in the itinerary; and Any personal Expenses: Snacks,Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase),shopping and so on.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1128 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Gosainkunda Trek 12 Days?
+
