5 DAYS hiking Nepal’s LANGTANG VALLEY.
Langtang Valley Circuit is Nepal’s best kept trekking route secret. A short but bold hike through rhododendron and bamboo forests, alongside waterfalls, and up into ancient monasteries and upwards of 5000m+ hiking side routes. This trail allowed us time to slow down and breathe in the endless beauty of Nepal’s colossal peaks and grand expansive wilderness. This was our route:
POST VOYAGE RAMBLES
When I go outside to play in our Earth’s backyard,
I catch myself wondering what it is I am seeking.
It usually comes in a moment of calm,
Unpacking the tent,
Stopping to catch a breath,
Sitting to enjoy the sun’s grand exit on the horizon.
And what I’ve come up with,
Is that’s it’s not so much about seeking,
As about living amongst the questions.
It’s about living in a perpetual state of awe and wonder,
With our beautiful planet, it’s inhabitants,
And within your own self.
It’s about living outside the lines,
To listen within about what’s right,
Even though everyone tells you you’re doing it wrong.
It’s about summiting the top of the mountain,
Not to conquer Mother Nature,
But to breathe with her.
It’s about seeking stories over stamps,
And learning to love the flux of impermanence,
Especially as travel breaks you down,
Rips at your earth suit seams,
Strips you right down to your very core,
Exposes your soul,
The pure you.
Travel forces you to revel in your own truth,
And ask yourself time and time again,
What will I contribute to our world?
