Langtang valley is for the trek in the Langtang National Park north of Kathmandu and bordering Tibet. It is one of the easy-access trekking destinations in Nepal and a moderate type difficulty trek for 8 days. The walk is popular because of the beautiful valley, Glacier River, various types of Rhododendrons forest, Yaks, Red Panda, Langur (white monkey), Himalayan Thar (mountain goats), Snow leopards,s and wild dogs, etc. Mt. Langtang Lirung (7234m) is the highest peak in the park which towers above the valley. Besides Langtang Lirung, there are other peaks such as Gangchhempo, Dorje Lakpa, Langsisa Ri, Yubra Himal, Naya Khang, and Yala peak around.

The trek begins from Syafrubesi which is a day’s drive from Kathmandu. The trek passes through Langtang village to reach Kyanjin Gomba. Half part of the Langtang village was destroyed because of avalanches hitting the mountain Langtang Lirung in the April Earthquake of 2015. The village is rebuilt and known as a New Langtang where the lodges are available now.

We tour Gomba (monastery) and the Yak cheese factory in Kyanjin. The factory was started as a Swiss project in 1955.

We climb Kyanjin or Tsergo Ri (4984m) in Langtang’s remote upper part which is one of the best viewpoints in the Langtang National Park. We spend a second night at Kynjin Gomba and descend to Lama Hotel the same way we hiked up. From Lama Hotel, we trek to the villages of Sherpa gaon and Khangjim before we head down to Syafrubesi. We travel back to Kathmandu by public jeep.
