Walangchung Gola, situated in Taplejung district, is a historic suburb characterized by stone-walled and stone-roofed houses. Located in the northwest of Taplejung, bordering Tibet, it stands as one of the most remote trekking destinations in Nepal. This unique location, surrounded by Sikkim to the east and Tibet to the north, results in a lifestyle heavily influenced by Tibetan culture and religion. In the local language, “gola” translates to ‘market,’ highlighting the historical significance of this village as a trading point between Nepal and Tibet. The remoteness of the area makes this trekking experience suitable for physically fit individuals with prior hiking experience in alpine highlands.

The village is adorned with houses featuring stone walls and roofs, showcasing the simplicity and uniqueness of the settlement. Nearby villages, such as Yangma, Ghunsa, Khangbache, Lunthung, and Lelep, add to the charm and offer stunning views of Mount Kanchenjunga and Mount Manaslu.
