About This Trek

The Langtang Valley Trek is one of Nepal's hidden gems, offering a shorter but equally rewarding Himalayan experience north of Kathmandu. Known as the "Valley of Glaciers," it offers spectacular views of Langtang Lirung (7,227m) and neighboring peaks. The trail winds through lush rhododendron and bamboo forests, home to the endangered Red Panda, before opening up into high alpine pastures where yaks gaze. The trek also provides a deep insight into the resilient Tamang and Tibetan heritage of the local communities.

Hike to Tserko Ri (4,984m) or Kyanjin Ri for breathtaking panoramic views of the Langtang Himal range.

🏯 Kyanjin Gompa

Visit the ancient monastery at Kyanjin Gompa (3,870m), the spiritual heart of the valley, and see its famous cheese factory.

🎋 Flora & Fauna

Walk through Langtang National Park, rich in biodiversity including red pandas, Himalayan monals, and diverse flora.

🙏 Tamang Culture

Experience the warm hospitality and unique culture of the Tamang people, who are closely linked to their Tibetan roots.
