| To cross from Langtang
into Helambu, via the Ganja La pass, is serious
undertaking requiring good equipment. For three
to four days there are no tea house facilities
so we have to be fully sufficient. From the pass
the views across the valley to the peaks of the
Langtang Himal are particularly good. In the distance
you can see Shishapangma, the only 800 meters
peak entirely in China (Tibet). After crossing
the pass we reach to Tarkeghayang (largest settlements
of Tamang in Helambu) The trek passes through
some beautiful forests and very interesting villages
on route. As the journey progresses you visit
the homes of Brahmins, Tamangs and Sherpa people
of Nepal. This place has scenic grandeur and pleasant
climate as well as a long history of Buddhism,
culture and ancient tradition of Tamang and Sherpas.
