GHT Langtang Rolwaling Trek via Tilman Pass

Welcome by our local team and briefing by the guide on the progress of the expedition.

Syabru Besi is only separated from the capital by 120 kilometers, but in Nepal it takes 6 hours of transfer. For the midday stop, we will all find ourselves sharing a dal bhat with the Nepalis who make this journey daily. Shyabru Bensi is the starting point of the Langtang trek and the Gosaingkunda trek

We plunge into the Langtang Khola valley. A few small steep paths lead to Domen then the Bamboo camp guesthouses. From Rimche the first views are offered to us, the gorge widens slightly. There are 20 minutes left to reach our camp at Lama Hotel.

From Lama Hotel, the trail continues to climb into the forest. We cross the villages of Gumnachok, then Ghoratabela. The valley then becomes wider, and the forest gives way to shrubs. The trail continues to climb steadily to the village of Langtang (3430 m). Completely destroyed, it slowly rebuilds itself on its upper part on protected platforms.

We continue our acclimatization in the heart of a valley which opens gradually. The stupas are more numerous before joining a series of ground movements. Kyanjin's gompa is hidden behind the last one. In wood, it has kept all its cachet.

The views of Langtang Lirung, Pangen Dopku and Tsergo Ri are more numerous. For the more motivated, it is interesting to climb on this last promontory. The view is there at 360 ° and allows to better understand the network of mountains of this valley which seems closed.

You have to leave this last village to go up the valley. The climb is gentle in a valley which narrows. The pass appears in the distance with its multiple prayer flags. Our future camp appears below, at the entrance to the Langshisa valley. Tomorrow, we therefore definitively leave our main axis and leave the Morimoto camp to the north.

Morain's camp is not that far, but the terrain is not that easy. There are many rivers that can slow us down. Morain's camp is not that far away, but the terrain is not easy. We must reach the lake, which directs us to a second valley, to find our camp.

We absolutely have to cross the Tilman pass, it's our only escape. We start early. Depending on the snow level, you may need to secure the rope to go up and down around the pass depending on the glacier situation as it gets really slippery when there is old snow or ice. The ascent is made by a morainic slope then a passage on the glacier, the descent it, perhaps steep, and requires attention and vigilance. Night on the first possible flat, depending on the conditions.

We continue our descent. Still steep, it finds a gentler slope as it approaches Tin Pokhari. The first pastures appear and we leave the glaciers for a while. But the Lagang khola is impractical, so the next day you will have to follow in the footsteps of the herds on the mountain pastures.

Little relative elevation today, but a large number of ridges to cross. Panch Pokhari is a group of 5 Hindu sacred lakes that are found in the Jugal Himal massif. From there, the path becomes much more traveled. It is a pleasure to find the forest not far from these lakes.

The trail is initially complex to follow then it becomes well marked. He heads towards Tembathang once the bottom of the valley is reached. After a few kharkas, we find our first villages.

We follow the Lagang khola, then we pass a first shoulder to reach the Nyasem Bridge. A good steep path helps us reach the hamlet of Kyansing.

We regain altitude to reach the Chogormogor pass. We touch the 4000 meters, then we follow a ridge to finish in the Shotang kharka sector. It will be the presence of water that will determine our camp site.

Short day from peak to peak to reach The last resort, a tourist hotspot for bungee jumping. A good hot shower will not be too much after crossing this pass.

Nice day to return to Kathmandu. We find the hectic life of a changing Nepal.

Free day in Kathmandu. This day to be used during the trek in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Our representative will drop you to Tribhuvan International airport.
