Two weeks of trekking around Langtang and Gosaikund

The beginning of the tour goes completely through the tropical forest around the Langtang Khola-river. After passing the natural level of the mountain will take you to the high plains of the Langtang Mountain. A wonderful contrast to the climate at the beginning of the tour.After descending the mountain, you start equal to the next challenge, passing the high-altitude lakes in the Lauribinayak Pass, adjacent to the peak, where you can enjoy magnificent views over the lake and surrounding mountains. You continue this with the descent on the south side of the mountain party, and you return here after a few days hiking in the countryside, slowly back into the urban world around Kathmandu.Throughout the hike with Alpine Eco Trek pass up good locations to spend the night at the local guesthouses in the area.Trektocht van twee weken rondom Langtang en GosaikundHet begin van de tocht gaat nog volledig door de tropische bossen rondom de Langtang Khola-rivier. Na het passeren van de natuur op het bergniveau kom je terecht op de hoge vlakten van de Langtangberg. Een prachtig contrast met het klimaat aan het begin van de tocht.Na het afdalen van de berg begin je gelijk aan de volgende uitdaging, het passeren van de hooggelegen meren bij de Lauribinayak-pas, op het bijgelegen hoogtepunt, waar je prachtig kunt genieten van het uitzicht over de meren en bergen rondom. Je vervolgt dit met de afdaling aan de zuidzijde van de bergpartij, en je keert hier, na enkele dagen trekken door de natuur, langzaam terug in de stedelijke wereld rondom Kathmandu.Tijdens de gehele wandeltocht Alpine Eco Trek passeer je goede locaties om de nacht door te brengen bij de locale guesthouses in het gebied.
