Langtang Trek
The Langtang Valley Trek route begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, followed by a multi-day trek through the valley, with the most common stops being Lama Hotel, Langtang Village, and Kyanjin Gompa. The return journey usually follows the same path back to Syabrubesi, from where you drive back to Kathmandu. The trek is moderately challenging and is best enjoyed in the spring or autumn.
The Langtang Valley is a good choice for those with limited time, with the shortest routes taking just a week (or even slightly less) including travel time from Kathmandu. There are also many ways of combining treks to create routes lasting several weeks.

Climbing from 1400m to 5000m it was a steep trek in bright sun, sharp wind, thin air, and eventually a bit of snow. Green forest and rushing streams gave way to scrabbling over barren scree and piles of boulders.
