It is a hidden world of the mountains, situated on the north side of Kathmandu city. Sometimes people also call it the “Valley of Glaciers.” The Langtang valley treks is like walking through all kinds of amazing landscapes. Here you shall start your Langtang trekking Nepal by seeing the beautiful green fields, which are known as rice terraces. While trekking, you will also notice a huge forest of rhododendron and the tall fir trees.

On our Langtang Valley treks, we will drive north out of the Kathmandu Valley to Trisuli Bazaar. And in our drive, looking out of the window, we will be seeking tiny villages down below on the edge of the hills. And soon you will be entering the special nature area of the Langtang valley trek called Langtang National Park. The roads here will swoop all the way down, crossing a river called the Trisuli Khola on a cool bridge, and continuing onwards, we will be arriving at Syabru Besi, a Tamang village where we will be staying the night. While journeying at a certain height, the Langtang mountain range and the snowy peaks of Ganesh can also be seen with the naked eye.

Moreover, as we move ahead, we will come to a place that is known to be famous for making super yummy honey, and we might also be able to see the beehives.
Our upcoming Langtang trekking Nepal will not be flat; however, it will go up and down through the woods, and we will also walk under oak and rhododendron trees. As we go much higher, we will reach a village called Rimche, which is a great place to take a rest after the Langtang Valley treks, and looking back from here, you will see the amazing green trees, and after just a short walk, we will be arriving at our destination, the Lama Hotel.

Right nearby, we will find a checkpoint where we need to get registered and have our permits checked.
As we move ahead, the valley gets wider, and after Thyangsyapu, we will eventually encounter prayer wheels, which spin all by themselves from the water’s power, and along with the walls made of stones with some carvings known as mani stones. The houses will look different from other Langtang valley treks, and all around you, you shall witness fields and yaks and cows munching on grass. There’s also a small cheese factory in this place where we can taste appetizing yak cheese.
