Altitude: 2380 Meter, Trek: 6-7 Hours Overnight: Lodge This is your first day of the trek, This is quite difficult for all trekkers because your leg needs to be adjusted for a long time walking. You will trek contentiously through the bank of Langtang river along with subtropical forest which is cover by oak and maple, massive spruce, fir, blue pine and rhododendron forest. If we are lucky enough we can see some wildlife as well such as monkey, yellow-throat-ed martens. We will do lunch at bamboo. After lunch, the trail becomes more steep and more accent to Lama Hotel... read more

16. – 25.10. Was soll ich sagen: es war ein Krampf, ein Kampf, ein Pedale gegen den Wind, ein Erstrampeln von gefühlt hunderten Haarnadelkurven, es war kalt und hart und ungemütlich und trotzdem ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, und wir möchten keinen Moment missen! Jeder Tag bot wieder eine neue Facette dieses unbeschreiblichen Tibet: Steppe, Wüste, Felder, Gärten, Hügel, Schneeberge, Seen. Hirten mit ihren Schaf-, Ziegen und Rinderherden. Yaks, Hasen, Ziesel, Antilopen, Wildesel und sogar ein dreibeiniger Wolf! Zeltdörfer, Weiler, Städtchen, von China hingeklotzte Plattenbauten. Das versprochene Basecamp stellt sich als Fake heraus, es ist eher ein Mt. Everest-Aussichtspunkt, rund 8km vor dem Basecamp auf der tibetanischen Seite (das "echte Basecamp" ist jenes auf der nepalesischen Seite). Nichts desto trotz bietet es eine fantastische Aussicht, und dank des prächtigen Wetters verbringe... read more

It's been a great trip so far, and it absolutely ended with a bang! You know that we have to make the most of our last day, so by 9 AM we had our hotel breakfast and were on our way to the Asan Bazar on newly-rented bikes. The Bazar was full of colorful crafts, textiles, and most importantly souvenirs that we bought to commemorate our trip. After exploring for around 2.5 hours, we got back on our bikes and treated ourselves to lunch at the nearby Nepalya Rooftop Restaurant; and yes, the view was just as incredible as the food! Now, I could wax poetic about the meals we've eaten on this trip for ages, but we don't have time to fall into a food coma today because we have some more exploring to do! ... read more
