A wonderful walk through a naturalist's trail, This is a combination of beautiful treks taking us straight into some of the wildest and most picturesque areas of Nepal.

The high Alpine yak pastures, glaciers and moraines around Kyangin; the Sacred Lakes for the Hindus lake at Gosainkund (4380 m) crossing into Helambu via the Laurebina Pass (4610 m) to Ghopte (3430 m) and further to Trake Gyang. Along this route you will have an opportunity to experience the whole range of Himalayan topography as the trailheads south through a lush green valley and mountain culture before returning to Kathmandu. A little further up the valley is Kyangin Gompa, where we stop overnight and sample the local yak cheese.

Backtracking, we travel through Syabru and Sing Gompa to a high plateau, where the sacred lake Gosainkund is located.
