I was fortunate to have a great group trekking in October to the Langtang valley. It was amazing to see fall colors, snow in high places on the Himalayan peaks and great to see the wonderful Tamang people of the Langtang. As you will see it was stunning weather (albeit with a few short showers on several days) and amazing views from some high places.
My third time in the Langtang and fifth time to Nepal, again enjoying some dal bhat (rice, lentils, curry potato, achar pickle, papads), interesting pizza, muesli and buffalo curd (yogurt), black tea, jasmine tea, ginger tea, green tea, nepali chia, soups, saag (spinach) and many tasty meals shared in the cozy tea houses (stone lodges) on the trail.
Life is casual - sleeping 10 hours, trekking for 4-6 hours a day, eating healthy foods, occasional showers - what more could one want for a healthy vacation?
Thanks to my group another trek in the Langtang was smooth and everyone departed Kathmandu after 17 days to other parts of the world after experiencing some cultural aspects of Nepal including Pashupatinath, Boudhanath and a delicious Nepali dinner and culture show.
Namaste,
Neil
