| Langtang Trekking |
Langtang
is the most visited area after Annapurna and Everest due
to its easy accessibility and 
beauty. In a short time, it not only offers grand views
of Langtang Lirung (7,234m), Ganesh Himal (7,406m) and other
high mountain peaks, but also provides insight into the
varied ethnic lifestyles of the Tamangs and Sherpas, inhabitants
of this area. The trail starts either from Dhunche or Syabrubesi,
which is a full day drive away from Kathmandu via Trisuli.
The trail passes through the thickly forested area of blue
pine, oaks, maple, spruce and rhododendron (one fourth of
the park is forest). The trail follows the Langtang Khola
river bank until Kyangjin gompa. At Kyangin gompa there
are various options for short excursions; Kyangjin Ri (4,773m)
is two hour up and an hour down and it offers spectacular
views of the surrounding Himalayas.
Visit to Langtang Lirung glacier is 2 hours one-way. Day
visit to Langshisa Kharka is worth as it offers views of
Shisha Pangma (8,046m) across the land of Tibet. From Syabru
the trail leads to the holy lakes for Hindus, Gosainkund
(4,380m), where pilgrims congregate on specific days of
the year wash off their sins. There are altogether five
Kundas (lakes) among which Gosainkund is the biggest and
the holiest. The trek down from the holy lake passes through
Laurebina La (4,600m) and descends drastically through the
forestland of Helumbu valley.

Kathmandu sightseeing
9 am
We will be visiting three of the famous heritage
sites in Kathmandu. You will visit first the
Swayambunath Stupa (Monkey Temple). It is said
that Swayambunath Stupa is more than 2,000 years
old, and it symbolizes knowledge. The painted
eyes on all four sides symbolize the all-seeing
power of Buddha. It is an important Buddhist
place where pilgrims from all over the world
come. It is situated to the west of the city
on a hill some 77 meters above the valley.
It is a 30 minutes drive to Boudhanath Stupa,
another important Buddhist pilgrims site. This
ancient Stupa is considered one of the biggest
in the World. Every morning and evening, many
Buddhist devotees come here to pray and circumambulate
enabling the visitors to observe local religious
practices.
The sacred Hindu temple Pashupatinath is considered
the holiest cremation ground, and people bathe
in the Bagmati River with a faith of cleansing
themselves spiritually. Many Sadhus or Hindu
Ascetics live here. During religious festivals,
Hindus come to make offerings, and it is sometimes
very crowded.
