Overview
The shortest and most-admired moderate Langtang Valley Trek is situated in the northern part of Nepal, at a height of 3,400 m above sea level. The trek is the major highlight of Langtang National Park (which is the home of endangered wildlife animals and the rarest vegetation) and offers a close view of Mt. Langtang, Mt. Sergo Ri, Yala Peak, Mt. Dorje Lakpa, Mt. Naya Kangri, and many more.
As our drive goes through the winding roadway and then enters the lush Langtang National Park, we enjoy the scenery of dense forest during the drive. The park is surrounded by pine trees, rhododendron trees, juniper trees, pinus roxburghiis trees, apple trees, and a habitat for many wildlife animals, including musk deer, the Himalayan tahr, the wild dog, the red panda, and many more.
The Langtang Valley Trek is known as an ideal trek because it is accomplished in a very short time and allows you to enjoy the iconic mountain sights in the most intimate way. The journey starts from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi via drive, then begins the actual trek up to Langtang Valley. As we come across the journey, we observe lush valleys, dense forests, the roaring Langtang River, glowing towns, and the longest waterfalls.

We wake up in the morning and have breakfast. We begin the day tour around the most visited and most famous places listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We go to Kathmandu Durbar Square. The broadly spread-out square is the home of many historical monuments. Then we visit the holy Pashupatinath temple and hike around there, enjoying the peaceful moment even though it is a crowded place. We keep on our day tour and visit the Boudhanath stupa and Swayambhunath stupa, respectively. The stupas are dedicated to the Lord Buddha and are known as the most visited places in Nepal. After concluding the day tour, we return to the hotel. Overnight in Kathmandu.
We board a tourist bus and get ready to go on the way to Syabrubesi. As we depart from Kathmandu, the bus speeds on the highway by going down and up winding roadways. We come across lush forests, the roaring Trishuli River, and radiant towns with terraced agricultural lands. As our drive gradually ascends, we enter the Himalayan terrain, leaving the hilly terrain behind. The surrounding Himalayan lands offer stunning views of Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Ganesh, Mt. Langtang, and Mt. Manaslu. Overnight in Syabrubesi.
Syabrubesi is a beautiful town that lies on the bank of the Bhotekoshi River, amidst the giant hills. The city offers adequate services to visitors. We have breakfast in the morning and begin our trek all the way to the Lama Hotel, which is perfect for acclimatizing to the higher altitude of the trek. We cross the suspension bridge over the Bhotekoshi River, then go upward. The Langtang National Park surrounding it offers the various beauty of nature in every moment. That feels the magic in our trails. Most of the time, we pass lush valleys, dense forests, and high ridges. Overnight in Lama Hotel.
We have breakfast in the morning to keep the energy level high. We set off on our trek toward Langtang Village. We move ahead, go through stone stairways, and cross the suspension bridges. The route of the trek offers further uniqueness. It is as if we are walking into thin tunnel forests. Indeed, it is a wonderful trek. We move on and observe the perspective of Mount Langtang from afar. The way slightly takes the open widening straight. The bigger mountains are on both sides of us, and we pass through them in the center of them. We reach Langtang Village. Overnight in Langtang Village.
After having breakfast, we begin our trek all the way to Kyanjin Gompa. From here, we see astonishing views of the Mt. Lantang Ranges.

The valley is rich in Buddhist cultures; we see the shrines of Buddhism on our route. Finally, we reach our destination, Kyanjin Gompa. Overnight in Kyanjin Gompa.
After having breakfast, we begin the trek to Kyanjin Ri. The trek is supposed to be strenuous, which takes us gradually uphill. It is a prominent point for the excellent mountain views of the Mt.
