LANGTANG CIRCUIT
The Langtang region is closer to Kathmandu and a little less
populated than other trekking destinations in Nepal. We take you to the Langtang
Valley that lies just south of the Tibetan Border. Your trek starts from the village
of Dunche, walking on the open and fertile valley. Nepal's national flower, the
Rhododendron looks amazing with the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and photo
opportunities on this trek are endless. You will see and hear a multitude of birds
and might be able to spot other wildlife such as Wild Boar and Languor monkey.
As you move up the valley you will notice the Tibetan influence in the villages
and lifestyle of the people. The ascent up to Tserko Ri (4,984m) is a challenging
climb, however it offers some of the most spectacular Himalayan views and the
mountain passes are overpowering, which is a definite highlight of the trip! Another
option is to undertake a shorter walk up to Kyanjin Ri or walk further up the
valley. The pristine Gompa at Kyanjin is set in midst of the Himalayas and the
views from all directions are phenomenal.
Our relaxed itinerary allows for
two days at Kyanjin where we you are able to acclimatize yourselves to higher
altitudes as you trek up to Langshisha Kharka for a glimpse of Tillman’s
Col and the peaks near the Tibetan Boarder. You might also be able to climb Tserko
Ri a relatively easy trekking endeavour, which offers unrivalled views of the
high summits.
After
Kyanjin Gompa you will spend the next few days trekking over the magnificent Ganja
La (5400m. /17712ft), a challenging pass situated on the flank of the Naya Kang
(5846m. /19175ft) where high camp is set up on grassy meadows at the foot of the
pass before you make the crossing. The last few meters of ascent to the prayer
flags on the pass require a modest amount of scrambling, though it is not difficult
at any stage. Fabulous views of the Ganesh and Jugal Himal peaks greet you as
you traverse across to the delightful Helambu region. Gentle trekking through
pleasant Sherpa Villages provides a relaxed conclusion to your journey.
Note:
Should the Ganja La be impassable due to snowfall, you can cross into to Helambu
via Gosainkund Lake and the Lauribina La.
