…trekked the Langtang Valley from Syabru Besi to the village of Kyanjin Gompa. The valley is lovely with charming waterfalls descending from the Himalayan snow-capped mountains, the Langtang Khola rushes through the centre of the valley and its slopes are forested with spectacular pines, flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. Langtang Valley is on the border with Tibet and is strongly influenced by the Tibetan culture – it is sensed in every detail. Peace and silence are everywhere.
