LANGTANG VALLEY & GOSAIKUNDA LAKE TREK
|
All the elements of the high Himalayan trekking, with the shortest approach from Kathmandu – 17 days
This is a superb introduction to trekking in Nepal, among some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole country. Probably the quickest trek to get right into the high mountains, being very accessible from Kathmandu. You will be able to experience the flora and wildlife of the forested lower slopes and then the open views of glaciated peaks in the upper valley. Here there are also the Tamang/Sherpa villages of Langtang and Kyanjin, where traditional lifestyles continue. Kyanjin itself has a small monastery and a cheese factory and the views from the hill above the village are amongst the best anywhere in Nepal, just over 2 days from the roadhead! The longer itinerary returns to Kathmandu by visiting the holy lakes at Gosiankunda and crossing the Laurabina pass (4610m./15100ft.) - this route gives some magnificent trekking, following a series of high ridges with fantastic views and linking several villages which give fascinating insights into the life of the Helambu Sherpas. |
