Description
Embark on 10-day trek to Langtang Valley, a hidden gem near Kathmandu. Explore lush forests, Tibetan villages, and stunning glaciers while enjoying breathtaking Himalayan views and rich local culture.
Langtang Valley Trek is a popular trek in the Langtang Region. Langtang is the valley of the glacier with more than 70 glaciers. This is Nepal’s best-hidden trekking destination and lies about 51 kilometers north of Kathmandu. Although close to the city, the Langtang Valley is rich in wild scenery. This is a 10-day trekking package that takes you to the wilderness of beauty.
The trail takes you to an altitude of 3,900m, and if you want to go higher, you would not want to miss seeing the sunrise from the Tserko Ri at 4,984m.
This diverse trek introduces you to the Tamangs and the Sherpas Buddhist culture, and the ancient monastery of Kyanjin Gompa, situated near Tserko, upholds this tradition. The spectacular views on this trek include Dorje Lakpa (6,990m / 22,933 ft), Langtang Ri (6,370m / 20,898 ft), and Langtang Lirung (7,245m / 23,769 ft).
