LANGTANG VALLEY TREK, also known, as the valley of glaciers, is one of the wildest and closest trekking destinations from Kathmandu Valley from where gigantic snow-capped mountains and gorgeous glaciers can be witnessed. This is located about 61.8 km far away from Kathmandu on the north and can be a perfect destination for those who wish to trek to the Himalayas but is looking for a relatively easy route with shorter walks and lower altitude. The rich ecosystem of this valley is well preserved and is a rural landscape comprising of villages, terraced farms and forests encircled with green hills with a backdrop of the white Himalayan range.

The beautiful Langtang valley is surrounded by Mount Langtang Lirung (7246 m) which offers pine forest, rugged rock, swift mountain streams, snow-capped peaks and more…This is as wild as any Tibetan highlands with the peaceful rural scenery. Here you will follow the Langtang River to the east until you get to Kyanjin Gompa (3,880) where you stay overnight in a guesthouse. Crossing the slope, you pass the dramatic ridges through local villages of Sherpa, Tibetans and Tamang the next day where you probably get a chance to see their practices and traditions. You will also come across to several Buddhist temples and monasteries meanwhile. Then you will come across the lush forest of Rhododendrons and oaks. Once you are in the Langtang valley, flapping prayer flags in the main tracks and yak herds will welcome you in its unique way.

Spectacular mountain views of Langtang Lirung, Langshisa Ri, Ganja la Peak, Dorje Lakpa, Mount Gaurishanker, Ganesh Himal, Gangchenpo, Yala peak and Naya kanga are the main attractions. The glaciers and the local yak cheese factory are also something very interesting to see. As an option there is another beautiful and popular trail “Langtang Gosainkunda Trek” instead of Langtang valley. This voyage takes you off the beaten track into the valley of a hardly untouched people. Immersing into the beauty and silence of this sacred heavenly place, you will spend your days in utmost joy and happiness that might be beyond your imagination.
