Langtang / Gosainkunda Trekking |
|
Langtang Gosaikunda trek
combines the remote and spectacular valley of
Langtang, with the high mountain lakes at
Gosainkund. Visit the beautiful Langtang
National park and then trek to the end of the
valley to view the wonderful mountains views.
Following the Trisuli River north out of
Kathmandu, we travel through Trisuli Bazaar and
Dhunche to Syabrubensi, a Sherpa village located
at the very edge of the Langtang National Park.
We then swing east into the Langtang valley,
crossing the river several times as we travel up
along a gorge-like, lower section of the valley.
We pass through oak and rhododendron forests and
even cross glacial moraine on our way to the
Tamang village of Langtang.
A little further up the valley is Kyangin Gompa,
where we stop overnight and sample the local yak
cheese. We pass through Nubamatang, nestled in a
hidden valley, on our way up to view the
glaciers, which mark the gateway into Tibet.
Backtracking, we travel through Syabru and Sing
Gompa to a high plateau, where the sacred lake
Gosainkund is located. Crossing the Llaurebena
Pass (4610m), we continue south, leaving the
Langtang region behind us as we travel through
the Helambu valley to Gul Bhanjyang. |
