Langtang Valley Trek has long been one of the most fascinating trekking destinations in Nepal. Located only 30 km north of Kathmandu, Langtang Valley is the perfect adventure holiday for those looking for a relatively shorter escapade with life-changing Himalayan encounters.
Packed with trekkers seeking an authentic trekking experience, Langtang Valley is one of the most accessible trekking destinations up-close to the capital city. Although this valley gets fewer tourists compared to highly commercial Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Base Camp, it is equally as rewarding as any of them. Langtang offers brilliant opportunity to traverse amongst Nepal’s most spectacular landscapes and explore the lifestyle and cultures of Tamangs.
Starting the journey with a scenic drive to Syabrubesi and walking through the heart of Tamang heritage to witness some of the highest mountains is certainly an experience of a lifetime. Explore the ancient monastery at the village of Kyanjin and challenge yourself to hike up to the vantage point of Tserko Ri (4,984m) & Kyanjin Ri (4,400m). Langtang Lirung (7,245 m) dominates the skyline towards the northeast as the entire face of this massif is visible from the viewpoint. Other breathtaking peaks that can be relished in this Himalayan adventure are Changbu (6251m), Yubra (6264m), Tserko Peak (5749m), Naya Kanga (5844m), and Yala Peak (5500m).
