Langtang Valley Trek In Winter | My 1st Snow Experience

-

 


On 20th February, 2022, at 5 a.m., I along with my 3 friends  went for Langtang Valley Trek. It was one of the best trek we had till now. Its more beautiful during winter season and is one of the easiest trek of Nepal. During the trek, we'll get chance to see beautiful scenery, mountains, villages, wildlife and different Tamang communities. It falls under Langtang National Park and it is the only place where Red Panda is found. So, if you're lucky, you'll surely see Red Panda. 

As per as our trip to Langtang Valley, we all decided to have flexible itinerary rather than fixed itinerary. It took us 5 night 6 days to complete the whole trip. The details of our itinerary is given below:

Day 1: Kathmandu - Syaprubesi - Bamboo
Day 2: Bamboo - Langtang Valley 
Day 3: Langtang Valley - Kyanjin Gompa 
Day 4: Kyanjin Gompa - Kyanjin Ri - Riverside 
Day 5: Riverside - Syaprubesi
Day 6: Syaprubesi - Kathmandu 

In day 1, we went to Syaprubesi from Kathmandu by hiring jeep. It took nearly 8 hours to reach Syaprubesi from Kathmandu. This day, we start trekking from Domen and we reached Bamboo at 5 pm. It took nearly 4 hours to reach bamboo from Domen. And at evening, we got chance to experience snow. 

In day 2, we walk till Lantang Valley from Bamboo. Everything was surrounded with snow and it added more beauty in the nature. We got chance to see lust forest, greenery, mountains, snowing hill, animals and so on. Altogether we walked for 10 hours this day and finally reached Langtang Valley.

In day 3, we started our journey at 8:20 pm. This day, our target was to reach to Kyanjin Gompa only. The way to Kyanjin Gompa was truly very beautiful. I cannot even describe in words about its beauty. We have to see through our naked eyes to see its beauty. And the view of Kyanjin Gompa was just wow. It only took us 3:30 hours to reach Kyanjin Gompa and rest of the day, we enjoyed snow and campfire. 

In day 4, at 4 a.m. we head towards the top of Kyanjin Ri. When we all reached Kyanjin Ri, we all felt like heaven. It was so beautiful. My eyes still feel mesmerized when I remember the top view of Kyanjin Ri. After some time, we return back to Kyanjn Gompa, had lunch and again return back to Riverside. 

In day 5, we return to Syaprubesi from Riverside and in day 6, we drive towards Kathmandu.
