Nepal Langtang
trekking combines the remote and spectacular valley of Langtang,
with the high mountain lakes at Gosainkund and the beautiful
Helambu Valley. Visit the beautiful Langtang National park and
then trek to the end of the valley to view the wonderful ice
flutes of Gyangchempo.
Following the Trisuli River north out of Kathmandu, we travel
through Trasuli Bazaar and Dhunche to Syabrubensi, a Sherpa
village located at the very edge of the Langtang National Park.
We then swing east into the Langtang valley, crossing the river
several times as we travel up along a gorge-like, lower section
of the valley. We pass through oak and rhododendron forests and
even cross glacial moraine on our way to the Tamang village of
Langtang.
A little further up the valley is Kyangin Gompa, where we stop
overnight and sample 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 Tibet. Backtracking,
we travel through Syabru and Sing Gompa to a high plateau, where
the sacred lake Gosainkund is located. Crossing the Llaurebena
Pass (4610m), we continue south, leaving the Langtang region
behind us as we travel through the Helambu valley to Gul
Bhanjyang. From here it's just a few days trek back to Kathmandu
