These photos were taken from two separate trekking expeditions to the region: the Langtang and Gosaikunda Lake regions in April 2019 and the Langtang region in December 2019. Unfortunately, heavy snow and fog marred the summit attempts in April, hence I was unable to explore much of the Gosaikunda Lake region, and have to leave it for another adventure in the future...
