Langtang Valley Trek
The Langtang Valley Trek is the closest Himalayan trek to Kathmandu, reaching deep into a glacial valley beneath Langtang Lirung (7,227 m) on the border with Tibet. The route follows the Bhote Koshi and Langtang Khola through oak, bamboo and rhododendron forest, passing Tamang villages that rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake. The highlight is Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 m), a monastery and cheese factory surrounded by peaks, with a day hike to Tserko Ri (4,984 m) for a sweeping panorama of Langtang, Ganesh Himal and the Tibetan ranges.
