Langtang Valley Trekking Trail is a captivating path hidden in the Nepalese Himalayas. This is a moderate level trek which makes it a travel destination for people of all age groups. During this trek you will get a chance to come across three different ethnic groups i.e. Tamang and Sherpa. Located north of the Kathmandu Valley. Start your journey in Kathmandu and get taken to the starting point of this fascinating trek, which is Syabrubesi. Be mesmerized by the variety of scenery that appears before you as you navigate the rough terrain: from verdant forests full of oak and rhododendron to tumbling waterfalls and terraced fields that create a charming background. The trail then climbs towards Sherpa Gau which offers an off the beaten trail experience before joining the main trail in Rimche from where we continue towards Langtang Village, where the vibrant culture of the Local people awaits your exploration. Marvel at the majestic Langtang Lirung towering above as you ascend towards Kyanjin Gompa, a spiritual haven perched at the foot of snow-capped peaks. After spending a few Days in Kyangjin Gompa and hiking up to Kyangjin Ri (4,773m) and Tsergo-Ri (5,033), we will descend back following the river towards Syabrubesi. And from where we take a drive to Kathmandu.
