Stage 8 (April 16) Chhunama-Kyanjin Gumba
To complete our plan to climb in two days today we have another long stage to Kyanjin, at the end of the valley.
The first stop is to reach the plains of Ghodatabela where Langtang Lirung appears before us, which with its 7227 m. It is one of the giants of the valley. From that moment, the environment of mountains and glaciers will accompany us.
We continue passing lodges and before entering Langtang a monument remembers, with names and surnames, all those killed in the earthquake two years ago.
After crossing Langtang, without stopping, we continue climbing until the food stop at a lodge in Mundu.
You can guess, but you can not see where Kyanjin Gumba is because of the continuous trips of a helicopter that is uploading material for the construction of a power plant. After a small highlight we have in front of the colorful town of Kyanjin Gumba, inhabited end of the Langtang valley and, although there are still the stages of descent, the final goal of the trekking.

buenos días!! gracias por tus explicaciones, y tus traks.
Quiero ir este año con la familia ( 3 adolescentes bastante andarines) y quisiera saber si lo hicisteis por vuestra cuenta y si hay lodges o simiar en las paradas o hay que llevar tiendas y es necesaria una infraestructura de guias y porteadores.
y tb por el transporte de regreso ( si usasteis bus publico o similar) .. te dejo mi email porque no sé si si así sería más fácil contactar . mil gracias
Cuando vamos los adultos solemos ir por nuestra cuenta ,,, pero este año queremos dar el salto con los jóvenes.. y andamos mirando posibilidades...
gracias de nuevo
