This adventure will take you on a range of ethnic encounters, so you’ll be able to experience the rich ethnic diversity of Nepal’s mountainous areas. You’ll witness an abundance of wildlife, waterfalls and have a chance to take a bath in the region’s soothing, natural hot springs.
As with all Langtang routes, you’ll begin with a bus journey to Syabrubesi, the starting point of your trek. The trail quickly becomes elevated along the Langtang Khola, through forests of oak and rhododendron, and then taking you through the bamboo forests of the sub-alpine region. After a few days’ walking, you will reach the Langtang valley and stay in the Sherpa village of Kyanjing Gompa (3,870m). Here you will experience the spirituality created by the presence of dedicated Buddhist monks, who worship and perform rituals in a beautiful monastery dating back to 1300 AD.
Those of you able to get up early will be rewarded with an ascent to Tserko Ri (5,000m), from where you’ll be able to take fabulous photographs of the Langtang Lirung range. A further, short hike will take you to a glacial ridge (4,300m), which if weather, time, and energy permit, you will be able to climb. There will also be the opportunity to visit a traditional yak cheese factory (and sample the delights!), and where the cheese is still manufactured by hand.
Once in Chadan Bari (3,330m), you can witness the staggering, snow-capped Ganesh Himal (7,600m) and Langtang-II (7,227m) peaks. This area is inhabited by one of the cutest creatures of the Himalayas – the red panda – and if we’re very lucky we’ll be able to observe him from a distance. From here you’ll walk on to Gosainkunda, and arrive in time to watch the sun rise over the frozen lakes of this sacred pilgrimage site. After crossing the Laurebinayak Pass (4,609m) you will trek through rice terraces, and be able to stop at Buddhist monasteries around the villages of Tarke Gyang and Sermathang (2,621m), before making the trip back to Kathmandu.
