Can U Eat The Skin Of A Beet

Trekking im Langtang

Done! Both the tour as we ... Have just returned from 9 day trekking in the Langtang National Park back - it was truly a grand finale! The walk through the secluded valleys with mountain streams and wild
7000m high mountains was unforgettable! We do not bore you with details, a brief but must be for us too ;-)

first 4 days
clock in the morning after we climbed with the guide and a support in Kathmandu bus Dhunche. The drive took about 8 hours and was quite a thrill. The second half saw declines on incredibly bad roads along steep slopes. The crossing of the vehicles was almost impossible. Just before the finish an overturned truck blocked the road, so we had to be patient until it went ...
waited Upon arrival still a 2.5 hour hike to the first stage stop us until we "Syaphru Besi" reached at 1400m.


second At 7 days
los clock went. was good 7 hours it up through a wonderful valley and 1,500 meters. We regularly passed basic cabins each food offered. Wonderful was the crossing of wild forests with lianas and moss-grown trees. At the end of the valley loomed already the 7200m high mountain Langtang Lirung out.
highlight though was the encounter with a pack Langur monkeys are wild dangled from the trees! But they were not photogenic ;-)
was unfortunately stay overnight at 3000m in a very nice cabin in Ghoratabela.


third Days
Again, went off at seven. After four hours' walk through the valley, we met up at the overnight Kyanjing one that was liegt.Damit to nearly 3800m reached the daily target as yet. After extensive
lunch we climbed the 4700m high mountain Kyanjing Ri first time it was really tough ... the amount was reflected in the steep slope and we were slow. Fortunately we were able to transfer the luggage
of the accommodation and carried only a little food with us. These efforts were finally rewarded more than! The view from the ridge and then was breathtaking at the summit. We were surrounded by a mountain range with several 6000ern, covered with glaciers and impressive to us drew an eagle circles!


4th get up early days
was announced! But this was not particularly difficult, since one night usually emerges at 9 in the sleeping bag ... a lack of alternatives and to fill up a little heat. DemTagesprogramm stood on the 4984m (that is almost a 5000 - but it still sounds a lot better ;-) high Chauri Kharka. Good claimed six hours of ascent and descent. The road was down to the gravel circuit piece quite simple, but still a Riesenchrampf! Especially Oli has felt the height and did not come from the spot at times ... But this time we were rewarded with a fantastic mountain panorama.
was after a long lunch break then almost on the expiry of. We had already completed that is part of the way back. The 2.5-hour slightly descending path, however, was a walk compared to this morning!


5th Today
days was the morning of the second part of the "compulsory exercise" an.Während four hours we went the same route back down to the valley at 1680m. In the afternoon we turned off into a side valley and then struggled in the sweltering heat of terraced fields high up into the idyllic mountain village we Thulo Syaphru (2210) arrived. On that day we had the first time mobile phone reception and were told and in the last cracker nor the title of the SCB - juhuuuu!


6. Tag
Zwar stand nur eine kurze Wanderung an, dafür eine unglaublich happige. Es galt in nur vier Stunden 1700 Höhenmeter zurück zu legen bis wir auf 3900m in Laurebina auf einem Grat unsere Unterkunft
bezogen. Gerade rechtzeitig, das Wetter verschlechterte sich nämlich zusehends. Der starke Wind und die niederen Temperaturen waren nicht wirklich angenehm... Aber ueber das Wetter koennen wir uns ansonsten wahrlich nicht beklagen - besseres Wanderwetter kann man sich nicht wuenschen!


7. Tag
Nach etwa 2.5 stetigem Aufstieg erreichten wir auf 4600m Gosainkund. Die Bergregion ist berühmt für seine holy mountain lakes. What looked to us for nice mountain lakes, is more transparent pilgrimage for the Hindus. Each full moon, they take the long and arduous path to be to redeem himself in the icy seas of sins. On a bathroom we did not, however, thanks, have indeed no reason to do ;-)

We took the first part of the long descent into attack. At 3584m we reached in Cholangpaty our next hut and still had enough time to slowly but surely, our tired legs hochzulagern and prepare for the final descent.

8th Days
The descent back to the starting Dhunche was completed fairly quickly. After 3.5 hours we had the 1500 meters mastered. Worth mentioning is really just the cheese factory, where we obtained supplies us with a fine, very mild yak cheese.
In unexciting backwater Dhunche it was called then just wait. The transport back to Kathmandu was fixed although it took until the following day.
