The Langtang region is The third most popular trekking area in Nepal but
receives only fraction of the crowds that hit the Annapurna and Everest
trails. Langtang has many things going for it: it’s close to Kathmandu
there’s a wide range of scenery; you get right into the Mountains within
a couple of days, the accommodation is good and there are lots of possible trek combinations. The trek
ascends the Langtang Valley from just 1470 m at Syabrubesi to 3820 m at
Kyanjin Gompa, Past ever-changing scenery and Tamang villages to a
collection of high alpine pastures, glaciers and peaks on the border
with Tibet. Although the trek passes through lightly populated and
undeveloped areas, there are still plenty of lodges along the route. The
trail offers exceptionally diverse scenery and culture.The superb day
hikes from Kyanjin Gompa in particular offer spectacular close-up views
of the surrounding peaks and glaciers of Langtang Lirung (7246m),
Kimshung (678
1m), Langshisha Ri
(6370m) and Potential add-ons to a Langtang trek Include a
six-day trek along the Tamang Heritage Trail or a visit to the Gosainkund
lakes, after which you can either return Dhunche (12 days total) or
continue over the Laurebina La to Kathmandu.
