Overview

Langtang is a slender valley, at a low altitude, nestled between the mighty Langtang Lirung (7,234 metres) to the north and the massif, Gang Chhenpo (6,388 metres), Naya Kangri (5,857 metres) and Dorje Lakpa (6,966 metres) in the southeast, respectively.

Only a few hours drive from Kathmandu, this secluded region is mainly dwelt by the people of Tamang community. The customs, culture and costume of the Tamangs are often reminiscent of Tibet.

This 12-day Nepal trek begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi followed by a comfortable journey on the trails past rhododendron bushes, bamboo bunches and crystal clear waterfalls, embellished with a fabulous backdrop of snow-capped peaks.
