Langtang Valley Trekking |
On our trek we start in the
lower Langtang Valley, trekking through its
forests and among the villages and farmlands of
its people, many of who are of Tibetan origin.
Once an important trading route with Tibet, this
influence is reflected in the character of the
villages and peoples. During part of the trek
you will be walking through National Park, and
though wildlife is never easy to spot in a
forest setting, there are chances of seeing some
interesting animals and birds. Among those found
in the park are monkeys, musk deer, pika and the
national bird of Nepal, the colourful danphe.
From Langtang village, the track continues to
Kyangjin Gompa (3,740 m). This is the site of
the Yala Cheese Factory. There is a STOL
airstrip at Chhaldang, a short distance east of
Kyangjin. Visiting to the Yala Cheese Factory
(4.633 m) and the small lakes beyond Yala are
worthwhile. Yala can be reached within half a
day from Kyangjin Gompa
From Kyangjin Gompa, a continuation to the
pastures of Langsisa (4.084 m) provides the good
views of numerous glaciers. There are some huts
in Langsisa that can be reached within one day's
walk from Kyangjin Gompa. |
