Langtang valley is accessible by 8
hours drive to Syabrubensi from Kathmandu. This is a
small market but trade center for the people living in
Langtang valley. The next two days are spent climbing
briskly up the gorge like lower valley, where oaks and
rhododendron give way to peaceful hemlock and larch
forest; after ascending an old moraine, snowy peaks
suddenly loom ahead and the gorge opens into a U-shaped
glacial valley. Springtime is excellent for flowers
here, and in autumn the berberis bushes turn a deep rust
color.
Two Bhotiya villages occupy the upper valley: Langtang
(3.300m), the bigger of the two, makes a good place to
spend a night and acclimatize, while Kyangjin (3.750m)
boasts a small gompa, a cheese "factory" (fabulous
yogurt) and an attractive chalet-lodge. The Langtang
Glacier is a full day's walk further up the valley.
You'll want to spend at least a couple of nights in the
upper valley to explore the glaciers and ascend the
5.033 metre Yala Peak (Tsergo Ri), from which you can
view an awesome white wilderness of peaks, including
8.013-metre Shisha Pangma.
It is possible to trek in various trails . For the
adventure seekers Ganjala can be a best option. Ganjala
is a high pass that links Langtang valley with Helambu
,the Buddhist sagrila. It is really a challenging trail.
It is possible to stay in lodges except 3 nights while
trekking between Kyanging to Tarkeghyang. The another
trail bring you to Gosainkunda that is know as frozen
lake. There are several lakes & water falls around
there.The view from Lauribina & Lauribina pass make the
trek most memorable |
