Langtang Region

The Langtang region lies north of Kathmandu and is easily accessible by road from Kathmandu. Langtang is a narrow valley along Nepals border to Tibet with Langtang Lirung (7246 m) to the north, Gangchenpo (6388 m) and Naya Kangri (5846 m) to the south and Dorje Lakpa (6966 m) to the east. Helambu is south of Langtang and only 75 km north of Kathmandu. Helambu is popular as a short trek because of it's relative low altitude (below 3500 m) and easy access from Kathmandu. The Helambu trek can also be included in a Langtang trek via the holy lakes at Gosiakund (4300 m) and across the Ganja La (5106 m).Between the Langtang region and Manaslu we find Ganesh Himal with Ganesh Himal I (7406 m) and several other 7000 m peaks. This is one of the best, and most underrated, trekking regions in central Nepal in an area that see few trekkers.

Langtang Valley

Stunning mountain scenery in an unspoiled region of Nepal  The high and isolated region of the Langtang valley is called "the valley of glaciers". The trek starts with a four hour drive from Kathmandu to the picturesque village Dhunche with great views of Ganesh Himal, Manaslu and Annapurna II on the way. From Dhunche we spend four days hiking through this beautiful valley until we reach Kyanjin Gompa (3800 m). On the way we have great views of Langtang Lirung (7246 m) to the north, Gang Chhenpo (6388 m) and Naya Kangri (5846 m) to the south and Dorje Lakpa (6966 m) to the east. At Kyanjin Gompa we spend a couple of days exploring the area visiting several excellent viewpoints including Tsergo Ri (5033 m). We return to Chisopani in the Helambu region via the holy lakes of Gosainkund.

For a more challenging version of this trek we recommend crossing the Ganja La (5106 m) into Helambu. Good equipment and basic mountaineering experience is needed for this crossing.

Helambu

A beautiful and easy short trek in an area that see few trekkers.
Helambu is the ideal short trek at low elevation with the staring point only 75 km from Kathmandu. An area of brilliant green valleys, rhododendron forests and snowy peaks in the distance. The area is see fewer trekkers than the more popular Annapurna and Everest regions and the tea houses are abundant and un-crowded.

Ganesh Himal

One of the best treks in central Nepal. 

The Ganesh Himal trek is one of the best in central Nepal and is ideal for those wanting to escape from the more popular regions of Annapurna and Everest. It is famous for the unspoiled Tamang culture, spectacular mountain views and colorful rhododendron forest. The starting point is only five hours by car from Kathmandu and we spend a few days trekking in the lower regions before entering pine and rhododendron forests at 3-4000 m elevation. At Jaisuli Kund Lake at 5500 m we have excellent views of Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, Langtang and several other peaks. The final part of the trek follows the Buri Gandaki River to Gorkha.

Langtang Gosainkunda Trek

This trek leads you all the way up to Kyanjin Gomba and back down to Syabru village from where you start trekking through pine & rhododendron forest up to Gosainkunda lakes, situated at the height of 4200m. The Gosainkunda Lakes are sacred holy lakes where thousands of Hindu devotees throng to attend a festival in the month of August.

Ganjala pass Trek

Maximum altitude gain 4510m- This trek also starts from Dhunche. Trekkers have to cross a challenging pass called Ganjala to continue their trek through Tarkeghyang to end up at Melamchi Pul Bazaar. Camping is obligatory for at least 5 days as there are not any tea houses on the way. Snow conditions can add to the difficulty of this trek. Mountaineering skills and equipment are recommended.
