The walk
Langtang is the closest major trek to Kathmandu. The trail follows the Langtang Khola up through forest where red pandas and langur monkeys live, to the wide glacial valley above.
The old village of Langtang was buried by an avalanche in the 2015 earthquake. A new village has been built beside it, and the lodges are run by the families who stayed.
Kyanjin Gompa, with its monastery and yak cheese factory, is the base for climbing Kyanjin Ri or the higher Tserko Ri.
Starts from Syabrubesi, seven hours by road from Kathmandu
