Details of : Langtang Valley Trek

The Langtang valley trekking combines the remote and spectacular valley of Langtang, with the high mountain lakes at Goshaikunda 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; this is a wonderful site to visit. Following the Trisuli River north out of Kathmandu, we travel through Trisuli Bazaar and Dhunche to Syabrubesi, a Sherpa village located at the 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, this is a delicious affair. We pass through Nubamatang, nestled in a hidden valley, on our way up to view the glaciers, which mark the gateway into arid Tibet.
