Langtang
is a narrow valley situated south of the Tibetan
border. It is inhabited by Tibetans and Tamangs, who
share a similar religion, language and clothing
style. Here, mountains rise soaring towards the sky.
The landscapes we cross are extremely varied; rice-
terraces, gigantic rhododendron, pine forest, and in
the highest parts, a rock and shrub wilderness with
the fascinating backdrop of snow capped peaks. The
combine trek (Langtang, Gosaikunda and Helambu)
treks offers the great diversity in both nature and
culture. It is relatively not crowded area. The
Langtang vally up to Kyanjin Gompa is inhabited by
Tamang whose religious practices, language and dress
are much more to those of Tibetans and we walk to
the glacier at the foot of Langtang Peak. Though
there are now many commercial lodges in Langtang
village, in another section you can observe the
distinct life style of the original inhabitants in
Langtang village that might be interesting for you I
think.
Due to the
lack of education these people are very backward in
civilization. The most part of the trail to
Gosaikunda Lake is on the ridges of hiking hills
offering spectacular views of Himalayan peaks. This
rout connects from Langtang to Helambu. There are
not local inhabitants on the rout to Gosaikunda till
2 days but when we inter to Helambu village we
passes some beautiful forests and very interesting
villages of Sherpas and Tamang. The Sherpa are quite
distinct from the Sherpas of Solukhumbu(Everest
region) both in language and customs. The people in
Helambu where carefully exploited to a lower cast
because of a Nepali king who was afraid they could
give rebellion as they live all around the city
regions. Probably to this result, they still live in
backward civilization. The ranges of mountains that
rise above us match the diversity of the people we
meet. From low altitudes we have excellent views of
mountains that include Langtang, the Annapurnas,
Manaslu and even Everest on a clear day. This is a
pleasant and exciting journey, a time to relax and
become immersed in the beauty of the Himalayas. |
