Langtang Ganja La trek - 14 days |
|
 |
|
The
Langtang valley is aptly called ‘the valley of
glaciers’. Here, mountain rise, soaring towards
the sky. The valley offers pine forest, swift
mountain streams, rugged rock and snowcapped
peaks, grassy downs and meadows strewn with
daisies and wild primal. A variety of sights
including Buddhist monasteries, a cheese
factory, yaks, glaciers and mountain lakes make
this trek an exciting one. This trek offers the
experience of being in a typical Sherpa village
and many ancient monasteries. It is a golden
chance to learn about life in our villages.
You follow a rugged trail with dramatic views;
to the west Himal chuli (7893m) Manaslu (8156mm)
and Ganesh Himal (7406m). On a clear day, even
the Annapurna range can be seen rising up behind
and to the north across the valley is Langtang
Lirung. You pass a few huts in the high picture
of Laurebina, cross a small ridge and have our
first views of the holy lakes. There are about a
dozen lakes in the Gosainkunda Basin, the main
three being Saraswatikunda, Bhairabkunda, and
Gosainkunda. According to legend, Shiva created
Gosainkunda when he pierced a glacier with his
trident to obtain water to quench his thirst
after having swallowed a poison that threatened
to destroy the world.
This trek brings you to the Langtang Valley
surrounded by Himalayan Peaks. Langtang
Lirung-7240m and Ganesh Himal are the highest in
the region. Trek up to Kyanjingompa and
excursion to Tshergo Ri would acclimatize you
well for further trek to Ganja La pass. The trek
then turns straight south into the valley of
Helambu via the Ganja La pass which is more
exciting and challenging as well.
