About This Expedition
Nepal's closest great trek to Kathmandu — 2 hours drive and you're in the mountains. The Langtang Valley is raw, authentic and still recovering from the 2015 earthquake. A deeply meaningful trek through Tamang culture, yak pastures and high ridges with views of Langtang Lirung.
