Overview
The Langtang Valley Trek is one of Nepal’s most rewarding short treks in the Himalayas. Just a day’s drive from Kathmandu, this trek offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, mountain scenery, and rich Tamang culture.
Known as the “Valley of Glaciers,” Langtang is home to spectacular peaks like Langtang Lirung (7,227m) and Dorje Lakpa, as well as charming villages and ancient monasteries.
In only eight days, you’ll experience everything from lush forests to high alpine valleys, visit Kyanjin Gompa, and hike to Tserko Ri (4,980m) for breathtaking sunrise views of the Langtang Himalayas.
