When gripped by the dizziness of wanderlust, the prescription lies in ditching the norm and exploring the unfamiliar. With this experience from OneSeed Expeditions, pack up the rucksack and hit Nepalese trails. You'll spend a total of eleven days backpacking through snowcapped Himalayas: seven days trekking, with additional cultural stays of two nights in Kathmandu and one night in Syabru Besi.
Once you touch down at the airport, the adventure begins. Spend the first days adjusting to the region's altitude and checking out Kathmandu Valley and Swayambhu, the valley’s most sacred Buddhist shrine and best viewing spot to see the capital; the timeless city of Bhaktapur; or the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu's streets below. With the seeing of sites behind you, set out into the geological and cultural diversity with the beginning of your trek. Delight in watching the changing landscapes from sub-tropical rhododendron forests and waterfalls, arid desert to the alpine region. You'll also be walking past the sacred ground of Buddhists and Hindus, under waving prayer flags, and never hiking more than six hours in a day.
Starting in Syabru Besi you'll ascend to the Changtang keeping an eye out for langur monkeys, water falls, cactus forests and towering oak trees. After a brief descent at the end of the day, arrive at the village, popularly known as Lama Hotel. The trail wanders through Langtang Village before making a gentle ascent past the pocket of Tamang settlements and yak pastures. Rest at the summit in Kyanjin Gumpa before descending through Rimche and when the end of the trip reaches it's final day, join your fellow trekkers with a farewell banquet in Kathmandu.
