The trekयात्रा
Langtang is the nearest big-mountain valley to Kathmandu, and one of the most rewarding short treks in Nepal.
The village of Langtang was destroyed in the 2015 earthquake and has been rebuilt by the families who live there. Staying in their lodges is part of that recovery.
Highlights
- Kyanjin Ri, 4,773 m, above the Langtang glaciers
- Tamang villages and a yak-cheese factory
- No flights: the start is a drive from Kathmandu

Questionsप्रश्न
Is Langtang safe after the 2015 earthquake?
The trail and lodges were rebuilt years ago. The road to Syabrubesi can be slowed by landslides after rain, which is why the last day is a buffer.
