You can vary the trek to Langtang by returning
to Kathmandu via Syabru Gaun or Goshainkunda, at 4300m, the destination of thousands
pilgrims during the full moon festival in August. Climbing a little higher up
from Goshainkunda, reveals a series of mountain peaks ranging from Annapurna to
Gaurishankar. On the other side of the Langtang valley is a small Sherpa village
called Helambu. You can combine your trek to Langtang with a visit to Helambu
either by crossing the Ganjala Pass or the Lauribina Pass. Starting from Sundarijal,
an hour's drive (by car) from Kathmandu, the trek heads through Helambu ending
at Melamchi Pul Bazaar. This route passes through typical Sherpa villages, namely:
Melamchi Gaun, Tarkeghyang, and Shermathang. Yangri danda, a three-hour climb
from Tarkeghyang, offers breath trekking views of the snow-capped mountains. |
