Langtang is a narrow valley situated just south of the Tibetan border and populated with Tibetans and Tamangs, who share a similar religion, language and clothing. The landscapes we cross are extremely varied: rice-terraces, gigantic rhododendron and fir forests and, at altitude, a rock and shrub wilderness set against a backdrop of snowy peaks. The crossing of Ganja La pass is a high mountain itinerary and sometimes requires the use of ice axe and crampons. After the pass we reach the Helambu valley with its numerous colorful Sherpa villages. Lying some 72 kilometers north east of Kathmandu, the Helambu region also known as Helmu, consists of country situated at the head of Melamchi Khola. Bounded on the north by a wall of 5000m peaks with the difficult Ganja La pass (5123m) which provide access to the Langtang valley.
