Langtang Valley Trek is a punch of ravishing and exciting walks; offering promising scenic views that leave you flabbergasted with an unsettling unease in your stomach. An unease that makes you weak in the belly and makes you crave for more. This excitement is tightly packed into short trails which adds to the excitement. It is always a good idea to spare a few days to wander this land rich in natural beauty.
The trail ascends the Langtang Valley from just 1470m at Syabrubesi to hit 3870m at Kyanjin Gompa, following the rushing Langtang Khola river past lush forests, bamboo groves, rhododendron, pine and juniper to reach mountain meadows surrounded by snowy peaks to a collection of high alpine pastures, glaciers and peaks on the border with Tibet.
