breathtaking mountain scenery make it very popular among the fraternity. A
little further up the valley is Kyanjin Gompa, where we stop overnight and
sample the local yak cheese. Each area in itself is a good choice for those

Kathmandu. A three-week trip can cover all three areas of this region.

devotees of the Hindu god shiva and most Hindu people come to their worship Shiva god. We have trekked through Thulu Syabru and Sing
Gompa to a high plateau, where the sacred lake Gosainkunda is located. The

the people are friendly and interesting. This region is famous for both
trekking and pilgrimage. Following the Turisuli River north out of
Kathmandu, we travel through Trisuli Bazaar and Dhunche to Syabrubensi, a Tamang village located at the very edge of
the Langtang national park.
