The Langtang Valley is located only 19 miles north of Kathmandu, close to the border of Tibet. The valley is dominated by Langtang Lirung [7246 meters], the highest peak in the area. This is a superb introduction to trekking in Nepal.
The Langtang trek starts from Syabru Besi after a 9-hour drive from Kathmandu. Following a trail upstream Bhote Kosi river through ethnic Tamang villages, lush green forests and the wide spread Kyangin valley surrounded by snowy peaks on all sides, takes you up to Kyangin at 3800 meter.
Due to the gradual ascent along the river valley the Langtang trek is not considered strenuous, yet it remains challenging as it reaches an altitude of 3800 meter at Kyangjin. The Langtang trek can be done any time of the year except during monsoons [July & August].
