Highlights

The Langtang Valley Trek is as diverse and wild as any other trekking destination in Nepal, near Kathmandu. The trek takes you to the heart of the Himalayas in just a few days of walking through the beautiful villages, magnificent views of mountains, mani walls, Buddhist shrines, chortens, rhododendrons, and bamboo forests.

The Langtang Valley Trek is a delightful experience of nature and culture that lies within the first Himalayan national park of Nepal, Langtang National Park, rich in biodiversity and beautiful natural landscapes. This trek is an ideal option for trekkers who want to have all the excitement of the Himalayas within a short period. A few hours of scenic drive from Kathmandu will take you to the trailhead.

The panoramic views of Langtang, Naya Kanga, Gangchempo, and other snowcapped mountains from Tsergo Ri (4984 M) and Kyanjin Ri (4773 M) make this trek a special one.
