Langtang National Park

Beginning of the trek. We cross the village of Shyabru, then terraced crops and a thick forest of oaks, alders, and bamboos. We change banks by crossing the Langtang Khola River, by a large suspension bridge. A few climbs and descents in areas of landslides mean that this day is not monotonous, despite the few houses visible in this wooded region. We recross the tumultuous Langtang Khola before undertaking a steep climb to Rimche at 2,250 meters. The descent towards Changtang, called “Lama Hotel” (name of the first lodge built in this hamlet) is finally gentle.
