Itinerary
+-
Upon your arrival in the capital city of Nepal, you will be taken to the hotel for freshening up and relaxation. Feel free to stroll through the city at your leisure.
Drive of 7-8 hours will take from Kathmandu to Suryabesi which is the entrance to the Langtang valley and also the starting point of this trek. We can enjoy the scenic view of the rural beauty of Nepali villages and small towns on our journey. On clear day we get to enjoy the panoramic views of the Mansalu, Annapurna and Ganesh Himal. We drive until you we reach the small and beautiful town of Suryabesi. Overnight stay over there.
The first part of the trek is plain and straight through the lush forest in the hills leading to Pahiro and Bamboo. The path goes through the subtropical forest which is covered by oak and maple, large spruce, fir and blue pine. We pass through the jungles of oak and rhododendron. The variety wildlife; yellow-throated martens, wild boars, Langur monkeys, red pandas and Himalayan black bears, etc. are inhabitance of the forest. We will gradually ascend from here and to the Lama Hotel. The forest clears as you will near the Lama Hotel where we will be staying for the night.
We continue ascending from Lama Hotel and enjoy the mountain landscape with abundant waterfalls. As we reach the green meadows of Ghoda Tabela, we begin to see the white peaks of the Langtang range. In the late afternoon, Langtang valley comes into sight, and from a distance, the village is picturesque and beautiful. The village has flat-roofed Tibetan style house, and elaborately carved driven windows of the upper village are worth exploring. Valley is surrounded by stone walls enclosing fields where buckwheat, potatoes, wheat, turnips, and barley are planted and easy to find yak and the wild goats wondering around you. Overnight stay in Langtang Village.
In the morning, you can enjoy the short village tour. The village of Kyanjing is one of the culturally rich and significant settlements of the Langtang region. We can visit the local cheese factory and can try the cheese and curd made from Yak milk; it is remarkable of this place. We spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the Buddhist shrine in Kyangjin Gompa and surrounding areas with the amazing views of the mountains. Overnight stay in Kynagjin Gompa.
Acclimatization is a crucial key while hiking in the Himalayas, and at an altitude of 3820 meters, Kyanjing will be an ideal stop We can either spend the day by exploring Tserko Ri which will also help us acclimatize to the high altitude, or hike easy for a breath-taking panorama of the Langtang Lirung, Langtang range, Kinshung, Yansa Tsenji. There are several alternatives sided trips, the surrounding areas of North having many smaller isolated valleys. Overnight stay in Kyangin Gompa.
The trail goes on ascending and the area is covered with little natural vegetation. We can see some alpine tundra family’s plant in this trail. Since, we're already in high altitude, the time for getting to our destination also depends upon the season of the trek. Overnight in Ganja La Phedi.
Today we will climb the famous Ganja La Pass passing through the rocky trail which is slippery due to the snow. The Ganja la pass is the one of the hardest passes of Nepal. It is usually covered by snow throughout the year. But the soaring scenery of colossal Langtang Himal and Lirung, makes it worth the climb worthwhile. Climbing up and down the pass can sometimes be tricky due to snowfall and ice. From the pass, we descend down to Keldang where we will stay for the night.
From Keldang we descend further down following a prominent ridge line to reach Yak Kharka. In our 5-6 hrs trek today, we continue losing our altitude through forests, ridges, and grasslands. Overnight stay in Yak Kharka.
The trail descends through pine and rhododendron forests past a tiny herder's settlement to Tarkeghyang, the large Sherpa Village. Overnight stay in Tarkeghyang.
Today’s trek will be comparatively easier since we won’t be gaining any altitude on today’s trek. After a 5 hour walk through green forests, we will reach a beautiful village with deep and rich cultural heritage. Overnight stay in Sermathang.
This final day of the helambu trek will end in Melamchu Pul Bazaar. We pass through many beautiful culturally rich villages on our downhill ascend to the Melamchi Pul Bazaar. After a brief stroll through the Melamchi Bazzar we return back to Kathmandu finishing our 12 day Ganjala Pass Trek.
