​Day 03: ​Sherpagaun(2,563masl) to Mumdu(3,500masl)

6 Days Winter Self-Guided Solo Hike in Lantang Valley (3,830masl) and Kyanjin Ri (4,773masl)

January 30 to February 04, 2016

Day 01-02: ​Kathmandu by bus to Syabrubesi(1,503masl) to Sherpagaun(2,563masl)

During the trek and I saw it on my very own eyes, it was confirmed that among 13 villages along the route of Lantang Valley only 4 are open and 9 are abandoned due to badly destroyed by 2015 earthquake. The 4 villages open are (1)Syabrubesi, (2)Khangjim, (3)Sherpagaun and (12)Mumdu while the abandoned villages are (4)Kimche, (5)Lama Hotel, (6)Riverside, (7)Woodsland, (8)Thangcyap, (9)Ghodatabela, (10)Chamke, (11)Lantang and (13)Kyanjin Gumba. Because of this, I have to trek fast as long as I can endure my hunger and thirst. Good thing I bought 1 packed of cookies, also I gradually saving the water. From Sherpagaun (2,563masl) for an ascent up to around 2,800masl then descent to Rimche (2,400masl). Afterwards  continuous ascent up to Mumdu. In addition and a major factor, there was NO MARKER in between villages not like the orange marker in Everest Base Camp route and white/red marker in Annapurna Circuit route.  

REMINDER: Please take note that my trekking hours is of below average, I'm always lagging for around an hour to the next destination. Also, check-out bill in the morning day after includes lodging for 1 room, dinner and breakfast.
