"The Living Earth"
EEnter into the spectacular living geology of the Langtang
region. Stunning glacial valleys and breathtaking snow-capped
peaks await trekkers along this 7-12 day adventure.
The trail ascends through lush oak and rhododendron
forests which transform into peaceful hemlock and larch
woodlands at higher elevations. After crossing an ancient
glacial moraine, the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas
loom into view. The trekker enters an awe inspiring
U-Shaped glacial valley before arriving at the villages
of Langtang (3300m) and Kyangjin (3700m). Kyangjin boasts
a cheese factory with delicious yoghurt. Ambitious trekkers
can undertake several side trips from these villages,
like Langtang Glacier or Tsergo Ri (5033m), which offer
spectacular mountain views. This is a hike for the moderately
adventurous with the Gosainkund Lake (4380m) and Helambu
treks to have a full two week adventure spanning sacred
lakes and remote villages. The trip ends in Kathmandu.
