The trail to Langtang ascents along the bank of Langtang
Khola first through terraced fields, then through forests
of oak, maple, alder and finally bamboo. The trail reached
to landslide at 1550 meters. For the rest of this day and
the following morning, there are few settlements, but the
forest abounds with birds. There is also a variety of wildlife
in the parks forests. The ascent continues to a steel suspension
bridge at 2000 meters. The route crosses to the north bank
of the Langtang Khola, then climbs alongside a series of
waterfalls. The forest is sparser and drier on this side
of the river, consisting mainly of scrub oak, as opposed
to the damp forest of large pines on the shady southern
bank. Climb steeply to a landslide and reach to Rimche (2250
m). There is a trail junction here that connects to a high
route back to Syarpa gaon and Sabru village; this was the
old trail to Langkath Khola. You have now finished most

another Riverside Lodge, in a clearing known as Chhunama,

and then climbs through meadows to Ghora Tabela at 3000
meters. The Langtang villagers keep herds of yaks and cattle
here and pastures above the village. You may not have noticed

problems. |

walls. It then climbs gradually past the small village of
Muna to Singdum, where there is a small lodge. Continuing

where you can finally see Kyanjin Gompa. It is a short descent

cheese factory I 1955. It now produces about 7000 kg of
cheese annually, all of it halted by porter to the dairy
