Just
to the north of Kathmandu are two lovely regions where one may experience
Tamang and Sherpa life, temperate forest and alpine pastures, glaciers,
lakes and snowy peaks. Helambu valley noted for its scenic grandeur and
pleasant climate, lie in the north of the Kathmandu Valley. One can stay
in highland monastery villages and small settlements in pristine forests.
Above Helambu is a mountain pass through the lakes of Gosainkunda reaching
the valley of Langtang.

of Lamtang Treks
Gosaikunda lake itself is situated at 4,380 meters. It is sacred to Lord
Shiva and every summer there throng thousands of Hindu devotees to take
a holy dip into the waters of the holy lake. Nearby are other lakes including
Nagkunda, Bhairavkunda, Saraswatikunda and Suryakunda. The trek passes
through a varied landscape ranging from evergreen forests, cascading waterfalls
and turbulent streams to sub-alpine grasslands and stark, beautiful mountainsides.
Langtang valley stretches north of Gosainkunda . One travels through pristine
forests to the village of Ghoda Tabela, then the valley opens out into
a high, Himalayan river plain full of beautiful camping sites, spectacular
peaks and wide glaciers. One can hike to the back of the valley or take
numerous optional trips to explore glacier-filled side canyons.
In
the upper part of valley there are snow bridges spanning angry torrents,
high passes enveloped in mist, tiny lakes with icebergs floating on them
and water of crystalline brightness. There are also high mountains of
solid ice.
