LARJUNG - Listen to Dhaulagiri

The name is Larjung probably because it's larger than the other two nearby villages of Khanti and Kobang. Bad joke, we apologize. But it is larger nonetheless. Situated here are the shrines of Gauchan and Tulachan. As is the case with Kobang, La Phewa festival is celebrated every 12 years and the deities are brought out for the public to see. The most interesting place to visit however is definitely Guru Sangpo cave which can be considered a side trip. On the way to this cave you will come across many exotic plants and flowers you have never seen before if it is spring that is. Also, you can take other side trips to Bhuturcho lake and Sekung lake which will require more time to reach than the Guru Sangpo cave. At Larjung, the Dhaulagiri and its ice fall will overlook the village prominently and it's quite a sight. You can even hear chunks of ice crashing down on the Dhaulagiri icefall. It would be a nightmare to listen to that sound if you were on the icefall yourself but down below from Larjung it could well be music to your ears.

There is a safe drinking water station here that will cure cancer. Too many awful jokes, we know. In all seriousness, there is a safe drinking water station here.
