This short trek captures the essence of the landscapes and character of Nepal. Contouring along the northern side of the lower Langtang Valley, in view of the surrounding peaks, we trek among the villages and farmlands of its people, many of whom are of Tibetan origin. Once an important trading route with Tibet, this influence is reflected in the character of the villages and peoples. Gradually gaining height, we emerge above the tree line into a broad glaciated valley, dominated by the awesome face of Langtang Lirung. Here, in the valley's ice-scoured upper reaches, we have three days set aside to explore a jumble of peaks, glaciers and moraines. On our return, we switch to the south side of the valley, climbing to the beautiful village of Syabru, from where the views are breathtaking. During the trek, we traverse a beautiful National Park, whose forests of oak, pine and rhododendron are festooned with orchids, mosses and lichens. There are chances of seeing some interesting animals and birds, among them langur monkeys, musk deer, the diminutive furry pikas and the national bird of Nepal, the colourful danphe, a spectacular pheasant. Many trekkers appreciate the chance to visit the schools that Community Action Nepal is rebuilding in the valley, meeting with the villagers and their children who will benefit from the projects. You can also take a stroll up to the 500 year old Gompa above Langtang village.
Fitness & Experience : A popular choice for a first trek. Though we have a couple of longer days of walking, many of the shorter days allow you time to explore around camp and take in the magnificent surroundings at a more leisurely pace. |
