Trekking in Langtang
Region
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.
