Langtang & Helambu Region Trekking |
|
The road head at Dhunche is a seven to ten hour bus ride
from Kathmandu. Just a couple of days walking finds you
amongst beautiful snow peaks of the Ganesh and Langtang
ranges. Following the Langtang Khola (river) will take
you to the settlement of Kyanjin Gompa at 3900m. This is
the furthest place to find lodges up the valley. The
Langtang Valley was designated the first National Park
of Nepal in 1971. Most of the people in the region are
Tamang whose culture, religion and language are very
similar to that of Tibet. Beautiful landscapes and
pretty villages make this a relatively easy and
therefore popular trekking destination. After retracing
our steps to the village of Syabru we crossed the
Laurabina La, a pass at 4610m, into the Helambu
district. The crossing of the pass in a freezing wind
and thin air was nothing compared to the descent in
waist deep sluggish snow and losing our way on the
Helambu side. |
