Langtang <strong>Trek</strong><br />

Langtang Region’s proximity to Kathmandu has made it the preferred trekking destination for<br />

trekkers strapped for time. Langtang <strong>Trek</strong> takes you to the valley of Langtang, an area close to<br />

the Tibetan border, and inhabited by Tamangs, descendants of early Tibetan settlers. A journey of<br />

just nine hours from Kathmandu will bring you to the trail head, Syabru Besi. From here itself you<br />

are rewarded with awesome views of Himalayan peaks-Ganesh Himal, Langtang Lirung, Manaslu<br />

and Annapurna. The trail takes you through Tamang Villages (whose lifestyle and costumes are<br />

reminiscent of Tibetan Highlanders), pristine forests, fascinating waterfalls and gushing Himalayan<br />

rivers (Bhote Koshi & Langtang river). Try ascending a little peak Kyangjin Ri (4350m) from<br />

Kyangjin Gompa, for dramatic views of Himalayan peaks (lying on the Nepali as well as Tibetan<br />

side).<br />
