Langtang is a narrow valley bordering to Tibet but still far away from Tibetan Plateau. A trek to the Langtang valley
is a great opportunity to explore villages, climb small peaks, and to
visit glaciers at comfortably low elevations. People living here look
like Tibetans. A great influence of Tibet can be experienced in this
valley. Tamang tribe is the main settler in this region. A scenic view
of Langtang himal can be captured during this trek.
Langtang,Ganja-la pass :Helambu Region trekking…Hiking amidst spectacular nature in its most natural form…
Langtang area is geographically based
towards the north of Kathmandu Valley. The scenery here is spectacular,
and the trek more exploratory as the area is visited by fewer tourists.
To the west of Langtang is Ganesh Himal with a range of 6000 to 7000
meters. The Gosainkund and Helambu region lies to its south; these can
be combined with Langtang to make treks from 7 to 21 days. This region
is inhabited by the Tamang and Sherpa communities whose religious
practices, language and dress are much more similar to those of Tibet
than to the traditions of their cousins in the middle hills.
The Langtang trekking actually starts
from Dhunche or Syabru which is seven to ten hours by a bus/jeep ride
through lush green scenery from Kathmandu. Just a couple of days walking
find 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. Beautiful landscapes and pretty villages
make this a relatively easy and therefore popular trekking destination
in Nepal. After retracing our steps to the village of Syabru we cross
the Laurabina La, a pass at 4610m, into the Helambu district. The
crossing of the pass in a freezing wind and thin air is nothing compared
to the descent in waist deep sluggish snow and losing your way on the
Helambu side; which tends to happen in the winters; but trekking in this
wonderful region can be deemed as some of the best in Nepal.
Encounters Nepal will escort
you to some of the most awesome spots in this region for views of some
of the most stunning landscapes in the world.
