The trek had been stimulated by reading a book when l was at school, many years ago, called 7 years in Tibet. A German climber had been imprisoned in India during the second world war, but escaped by crossing into Nepal and travelling along the Langtang Valley into Tibet. The first westerner to actually get into the hidden land. My hope was to retrace his path along the Langtang Valley. We started our trek just outside Kathmandu on what is known as the Helambu trail, going over Laurebina pass at 4600m 15,100ft to Gosain Kund and the start of the Langtang Valley. The trek took 15 days and we walked 126miles, during which we time we ascended 7900m and descended 7790m. The walk took us through villages, rice paddies up and down over boulder laden paths, across thundering milky white rivers, along ice laden ridges, over snow capped passes and through wondrously lush forests, brimmed full of wildlife and desolate frozen plains filled with grazing Yak and patrolled overhead by giant golden eagles. We met wonderful people, ate unusual foods and slept in some remarkable places
