A thin morning hangs over the trail as you leave the bustle of Kathmandu and ride the winding road toward Syabrubesi. The river below dares you forward, the forest above hums with rhododendron and oak, and each bend in the track reveals sharper teeth of snow on distant ridges. By the second day you walk beside the Langtang Khola, river spray pushing at your boots; by day four the prayer flags of Kyangjin Gompa frame a skyline of glaciers.
