In December 2000 we trekked from Sundarijal, near Kathmandu, through Helambu, Gosainkund and into the Langtang valley. We spent 3 nights at Kangjin Gompa making side-trips before heading out to Dhunche and the 11-hour(117 km) bus ride back to Kathmandu. The trails were extremely quiet, we only saw 3 or 4 other trekkers, and some of the remote lodges were closing up for the winter. It was a good trek and I can recommend it to all.
