The Langtang region lies to the north of Kathmandu. A bus journey takes one to the starting point at Syabrubesi. This trek offers a different perspective to life in the Himalayas. With less habitation and a much less crowded route than the previous two, there is more time for peace, silence and time for reflection. The usual route also passes through the highly revered sacred Gosaikund Lake where Hindus arrive for a pilgrimage. The devotees are seen bathing in the frigid waters in the lap of the Himalayan peaks. One of the spots to visit is the Kyanjin Gompa (monastery at 3,800m) where you will also encounter a cheese factory and a lodge. The usual Langtang trek takes about two weeks and can be extended to include the Helambu region, which involves the crossing of a pass named Ganjala at 5,106m. The views along this trek are awesome.
A Naturalist's Trail North of Kathmandu valley lies Ganesh Himal and Langtang Lirung. Nestled at the foot of these Himalayan ranges is a beautiful, secluded, valley filled with natures bounty - the Langtang National Park.
Following a ridgline the trek heads north to Tharepati before turning east to Melamchi Gyang and Tarke Gyang the principle villages of this area. From here we visit Shermathang before descending to the Melamchi river to end our trek with a drive back from Melamchi pul back to Kathmandu.
