About this journey
Langtang is the closest big-mountain valley to Kathmandu, and one of the most moving places we guide. Rebuilt with astonishing spirit after the 2015 earthquake, its Tamang villages welcome trekkers like family. Every night here directly supports the valley's recovery.
The trail climbs from jungle thick with langur monkeys to the glacier bowl of Kyanjin Gompa, where you can climb Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri at dawn, tour a centuries-old monastery and eat the best yak cheese in Nepal. No internal flights, no crowds, all Himalaya.
Trek highlights
- Kyanjin Gompa: monastery, glaciers and famous yak cheese
- Sunrise on Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m) or Tserko Ri (4,984 m)
- Warm Tamang culture and earthquake-recovery homestays
- Langtang Lirung's 7,227 m wall above the trail
- Reachable by road. No mountain flights required

A winding 7–8 hour mountain drive into the Bhote Koshi gorge. Evening stroll through the bazaar.
Riverside jungle walking, watch for langurs and honey hives on the cliffs.
The valley opens to yak pastures and the rebuilt village of Langtang. A humbling, hopeful place we always take time in.
A short sacred-feeling morning past mani walls to the valley's heart. Afternoon: monastery, cheese factory, bakery.
Choose your summit: Kyanjin Ri for a half day or mighty Tserko Ri for the full panorama of Langtang Lirung, Ganjala peaks and Tibet's border giants.
Long descent with the river for company.
Final morning through the jungle, celebration dal bhat at the bottom.
