What Makes the Langtang Valley Trek Special?
Just north of Kathmandu near the Tibetan border, the Langtang Valley is an underrated gem. You’ll hike through forests and small villages, meet the friendly Tamang people, and take in views of massive peaks like Langtang Lirung (7,227 m)—without the crowds you’ll find on more famous trails.
