Langtang valley






After a days drive from Kathmandu on the ugliest roads ever, over massive landslides repaired after monsoon, we arrived at 1930m in Dhunche. From there, my Sherpa guide Tenzie and I began our trek up from Syabru Besi to Lama Hotel and on to Langtang village at 3400m. The valley opened up into the most beautiful Himalaya panorama. This is Tamang people that live here. Buddhist, beautiful people. More on Buddhist Tamang on next blog.

The altitude was challenging, as we were gaining nearly 1000m a day. The max altitude was the holy lakes of Goseinkunda where many Hindus go to do their puja in August. This is amazing country reminiscent of other parts of Nepal.

Hope you get a feel from the photos.
Be well, and appreciate what you have,
Neil
