The Langtang Valley is one of the most beautiful places in Nepal, and was once the darling of trekkers seeking incredible landscapes and authentic culture—not to mention local hospitality in homestay guesthouses—all within easy reach of Kathmandu. This trek has long been a favorite due to its expansive Himalaya views and relatively gentle pace. The 2015 earthquake and subsequent landslide had an enormous effect on the region, but aid and reconstruction have reopened this area—not only is it still a beautiful trek, but your visit will also provide vital support for the local community.
