That unforgettable journey to Langtang Valley Trek

No matter where I travel, my journey to Langtang Valley Trek is simply unforgettable. As i am Outdoor leader in Malaysia I take my team to different mountains in Malaysia as well as abroad. I have been  to Nepal a few times with groups for different trekking and outdoor activities I have done the Everest Base Camp Chola Pass, Annapurna Base Camp and Langtang Valley Trek with Hiking Adventure Treks.

 

Our trip to Langtang Valley started last year in November(2020). We were 18 Malaysian Hikers planning to ascent Kyangin Ri, situated all the way up north the valley. As I know Langtang is also considered to be one of the best destinations to visit in Nepal rich its cultural and people in this Mountain Region. Many tourists come from different places to visit this place to enjoy landscape and beautiful scenery. The scenery on the footpath attracts the attention of anyone.

 

Our group was welcomed in Kathmandu by Mr. Ram and his brother Mr KB. They took to Hotel once arrived, we sort it out all the gears, duffle bag and sleeping bag everyone happy to hearing to langtang and we had beautiful dinner with Show. That day we also bought various essentials and decided to meet at next day morning at 6 Am the drive to Syabrubesi the driving hours quote long and the road condition is bumpy somehow we made very enjoyable time with Sherpas team. Around 12 o’clock we ate lunch on the way typical daal bhat which is popular in Nepal some of us tried to eat by hand but we are not used to but fun to try something new when you are abroad on your holiday. After a journey of 8 hours, we reached Syabru Besi where we spent our first night. Everyone was tired from the long journey and stayed in a hotel. The trekking  is to start next morning. So we ate and slept quickly.

 

We got up in the morning  had breakfast typical gave our duffle bags to Sherpa /porters and started walking towards next destination. Our destination that day was Lama Hotel. We walked happily laughing at each others enjoying photography on the way we met  other group of trekker from various country. It was fund our Guide KB made us jokes time to time that gives us power to walk not get tired during the day.

 

The lush greenery, the gurgling river and the waterfalls lured us. We reached the destination around 3 o’clock. Probably because of the first day we did not feel tired. Instead, there was a kind of enthusiasm and curiosity. The people there were very fun, enterprising and lively.

On the third day we walked early we had to reach Langtang Valley that day because the trail was very steep and some difficult for us. Resting, having fun, we arrived at a place called Ghoda Tabela and set off after eating the lunch made by the Tibetan sisters. Mountains, hills, rivers and waterfalls would take away our tiredness in an instant. Then we saw a place that reminded us of the 2072 earthquake. According to the locals, the whole village was devastated by the earthquake and many tourists were killed. Since we were tired of walking a lot that day, we decided to stay a little further before reaching Langtang Valley.

 

On the fourth day we headed towards main Langtang Valley is called Kyangin Gompa . After a journey of 3 hours we reached there and that was our final destination. The new market after the earthquake was very good. Anyone can enjoy that place in the lap of the mountains. The beauty there inspired us to climb even higher. We reached the Kyanjin Gompa above Kyangin Ri in the following days and returned in same guest house. We spent three nights at Kyanging Gompa to Climb the Kyangin Ri and Tserko Ri.

Other day, our schedule to return back the trail was a bit steep and easy. After three days walk journey we reached Syabrubesi and took a bus to Kathmandu.

 

After completing the journey on the we had very nice time in Kathmandu and the resort near to Kathmandu is called Balthali one of the nice spot to spend a night we had so much fun there cooking ourselves making a BBQ and dinner, drinks and Dance everyone enjoyed in our team. I would say thanks to Ram to giving us this ideas and make us feel so cool after the mountain I would also suggest everyone go there at the end of your trek which gives you memorable time The final day in the morning  we returned to Kathmandu  airport directly to catch our flight to Malaysia. We we are very much pleased to have such kind of holidays in Nepal carrying those memories and capturing those unforgettable moments in our minds. Our Itinerary we used for Langtang
