North
of Kathmandu valley lies Ganesh Himal and
Langtang Lirung. Nestled at the foot of
these Himalayan ranges is a beautiful, secluded,
valley filled with natures bounty - the
Langtang National Park. Here the rare red
pandas lurk in dense lichen-draped rhododendron
thickets, heards of blue sheep graze the
alpine meadows and lammergeiers glide over
glaciated valleys amidst a scenery of lofty
Himalayan peaks. From Kyanjin Gompa we will
have a chance to climb a ridge on Yala Peak,
or hike to the foot of Langshisa glacier,
for an incredible view of glaciers, icefalls
and snow fields surrounded on all sides
by high mountains. The Helambu villages,
over the holy Gosainkunda lakes and Laurebenayak
pass, are the home of the Sherpas of Nepal..
Their slate and single-roofed villages,
that dot the terraced hillsides, present
very fine trekking. The region of Langtang
and Helambu although easily approached from
Kathmandu is far less trekked than the Annapurna
or Everest areas making it all the more
attractive. A wonderful walk through a naturalist's
trail.
Moderate
To strenuous trekking and lodging between
2000m (6,500ft) and 4,380m (14,366ft) with
one pass crossing of 4,610m (15,120ft) and
optional hiking to 5,100m (16,700ft) on
Yala Peak. Accommodation in comfortable
lodges run by local families. The trek starts
with a drive from Kathmandu and includes
all meals, services of experienced trek
guide and porters to carry luggage. Clients
carry a day-pack only and walk at their
own pace.
