Sorry, I know how annoying these type of threads get from other forums but when you have no one to talk to, I really can't think of any other method of getting some much needed info.
I'll be flying into Khatmandu June 2nd-till end of Juneish and would like some advice on choosing my route. I know it's monsoon and that will present some very unique challenges (I can't say I'm excited for leeches) but I enjoy rain and the vegetation sounds pornographic durring this time of year. I am pretty set on doing the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek (is it worth it to extend it by a day or so to see Ghorapani? or should I just call it quits in Ghandruk?)
This means I have anywhere from 10-15 (or so) days to do another trek (or possibly two really short ones).
Everest?
I am drawn to the khumbu region as seeing Everest is just very hard to resist while I'm in the neighborhood, but I also understand that getting there prevents many problems and that clouds often obscure the views durring the monsoon. Still some of the shorter Everest treks are very appealing despite the difficulty, I just dont' want to waste a week and a half looking at clouds.
Lantang?
I hear this is a good place to trek for the monsoon and I like the proximity to Khatmandu. A Lantang Valley trek sounds nice, but I know this region offers quite a bit but it hasn't been written up to holy hell like Annapurna and Everest so finding information is a bit more difficult.
I'm open to pretty much any suggestions so long as they don't require camping, mountaineering skills or are extremely difficult. I also am thinking about seeing Royal Chitwan National Park, anyone reccomend this or other non-trekking attractions that I shouldn't miss.
I know I am asking a lot of questions, but as my trip grows nearer, I am desperately seeking advice from sexy experienced individuals as yourselves.

Forgot to add I'll be Bhati trekking if that wasn't already obvious. I don't mind adventures though.
