Short trip description
7 Days Langtang Valley Trek is one of Nepal's shortest trekking routes from Kathmandu in the Langtang National park north of Kathmandu. From the rainforest with banana trees and monkeys at lower heights to the glaciers and ice peaks at higher elevations, it provides breathtaking beauty. Short doesn't equate to simple; the route is difficult from the start and has a lot of long, steep climbs, which is common for trekking in Nepal.
The trek can be completed alone, in conjunction with the Tamang Heritage walk, or as a pre-trial to become used to one of the more difficult and lengthy routes, such as the Annapurna Circuit trek or the Everest Base Camp trek.
