Exploration
Trip to Langtang Region
Just
to the north of Kathmandu, there are two lovely regions where
one may experience Tamang and Sherpa life, temperate forest
and alpine pasture, glaciers, lakes and snowy peaks. Helambu
Valley noted for its scenic grandeur and pleasant climate,
lie in the north of Kathmandu Valley. One can stay in highland
monastery village and small settlements in pristine forests.
Above Helambu is a mountain pass through the lakes of Godainkunda
reaching the valley of Langtang. Gosaikunda Lake itself is
situated at 4380m. It is sacred to Lord Shiva and every summer
there throng thousands of Hindu devotees to take a holy dip
into the waters of the Suryakunda. The trek passes through
a varied landscape ranging from evergreen forests, cascading
waterfalls, and turbulent streams to sub-alpine grasslands
and stark, beautiful mountainsides.
Langtang
Valley stretches north of Gosainkunda. One travel through
pristine forests to the village of Ghoda Tabvela, then the
valley opens out into a high, Himalayan river plain full of
beautiful camping sites, spectacular peaks, and wide glacier.
One can hike to the back to the valley or take numerous optional
trips to explore glacier-filled side canyons.
