Best Easy Treks in Nepal for Beginners

Choosing easy treks for beginners in Nepal offers several advantages, making it an ideal option for those who are new to trekking or seeking a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Here are some compelling reasons to opt for easy treks:

Accessibility: Easy treks in Nepal are often located in accessible regions with well-defined trails and gradual ascents, making them suitable for trekkers of all fitness levels. These treks typically do not require extensive preparation or prior trekking experience, allowing beginners to ease into the world of trekking at their own pace.

Scenic Beauty: Despite their lower difficulty level, easy treks in Nepal still offer stunning views of the Himalayan landscapes, lush forests, picturesque villages, and cascading waterfalls. Trekkers can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Nepal without the need for strenuous climbs or high altitudes.

Cultural Experience: Many easy treks in Nepal pass through traditional villages inhabited by diverse ethnic communities such as Sherpas, Gurungs, and Tamangs. This provides an excellent opportunity for beginners to learn about the local culture, customs, and way of life, enhancing the overall trekking experience.

Less Crowded Trails: Compared to more popular and challenging trekking routes, easy treks in Nepal tend to be less crowded, especially during the off-peak seasons. This allows beginners to enjoy a more peaceful and tranquil trekking experience, with fewer distractions and a greater sense of serenity.

Safety: Easy treks are generally considered safer for beginners, as they involve minimal risk of altitude-related illnesses and technical challenges. The well-marked trails, moderate altitudes, and relatively short duration of these treks provide a safer environment for novice trekkers to gain confidence and enjoy the experience without undue stress or discomfort.

Langtang Gosaikunda Trek

Langtang Gosaikunda trek is itself is a good choice for all trekkers. They remain remarkably beautiful. In addition, the trails are less crowded and the people are friendly. The people are all Tamang and Sherpa who is the ethnic group for this area. We can explore their culture and way of living. Kyanjing Ri or Tsergo Ri (Cherko Ri), holy��Gosaikunda lake or Nilkantha Kunda and Lauribina Pass with helambu are another attraction of this trek.

Langtang Gosaikunda trek starts after 7-8 hours of driving from Kathmandu to Syabrubensi. A little further up the valley is Langtang village is  which was swept away by Earthquake on 25th April 2015 and rebuilt now and Kyanjin Gompa, where we stop overnight and test the local yak cheese. We pass through Nubamatang, nestled in a hidden valley, on our way up to view the glaciers, which mark the gateway into Tilman Col, a high mountaineering route to Jugal Himal that crosses a steep and difficult icefall on the south side.

We also can hike to Kyanjing Ri or Tsergo Ri (Tserko Ri) which offer spectacular views of Naya Kanga (5,846m), Ponggen Dopku (5,930m), Mt Langtang Lirung (7245m ), Yala peak, Dorje Lakpa(6966m), Urkeinmang (6387m), Loenpo Gang (6979) and Kangchenpo. Backtracking, we travel through Syabru village and Sing Gompa to a high plateau, where the sacred lake Gosainkunda is located.

Gosaikunda Lake is also known as Nilkantha Kunda. Gosaikund Lake has a black rock in the middle, said to be the head of Shiva. according to legend, Shiva created this high-altitude lake when he pierced a glacier with his trident (Trishul) to obtain water to quench his thirst after consuming poison gathered from the churning of the oceans ( the poison is the reason why Shiva is depicted with a blue throat).

There is a white rock under the water which is said to be the remnant of an ancient Shiva shrine. It is also said that the water from this lake disappears underground via a subterranean channel and surfaces in the Kumbeshwar pool, next to the Five-Storey Shiva temple in Patan, more than 60km away. Thousands of people come here to worship and bathe during the full moon festival each August. Crossing theLaurebina Pass (4610m), we continue south, leaving the Langtang region behind us as we travel through the Helambu Valley. From here, it’s just a few days' trek back to Kathmandu.
