Langtang is the closest serious Himalayan valley to Kathmandu, reachable entirely by road. In seven days you go from the capital to glacier country beneath 7,000m peaks, with no domestic flight to be cancelled and no restricted permit to arrange.
The valley was devastated by the 2015 earthquake and has been rebuilt by the people who live there. Trekking here puts money directly into that recovery.
Trip Highlights
- Kyanjin Gompa at 3,870m, with glaciers and 7,000m peaks all around
- The climb to Tserko Ri (4,984m) for a full valley panorama
- Tamang and Tibetan-influenced villages with a distinct culture
- No domestic flight required, so no weather-related delays
- Local cheese factory and monastery at Kyanjin
- Direct support for communities rebuilding after the 2015 earthquake
