The Langtang trek with Kathmandu Tour gives the best opportunity to explore the cultural sites of Kathmandu valley and panoramic Langtang valley. As soon as you depart from the Kathmandu valley, the Langtang classic trek gives you the first real introduction to some of Nepal's highest peaks. This trek will also introduce you to diversified natural beauty perhaps found nowhere else on earth. This trek will remain etched in your memories for a long, long time to come. To make your journey further memorable, Nepal Environmental Treks & Expedition has introduced Langtang trek with Kathmandu tour package. 

The Langtang Himal is located to the north, outside of the Kathmandu valley. This gracious, beautiful and lush green valley is surrounded by high peaks of great appeal. It has become famous ever since the British mountaineer Bill Tilman described it as the most beautiful valley in the world. The highest peak in this area is Shisapangma or Gosaithan 8027m in Tibet. The course from the Langtang valley to Gosaikunda is full of original and diverse natural beauty which has literally attracted thousands of adventure enthusiasts from every corner of the universe. The Langtang valley is also known as the ''treasure house'' of Alpine plants. The whole valley is divinely covered with an array of beautiful flowers during the summer, a spectacle that should never be missed. This high and isolated region is inhabited by Tamangs whose religious customs, language and dress are similar to that of the Tibetans.   

Langtang trek with Kathmandu tour package suits the best to trekking beginners. This trip can be arranged throughout the year. However, spring and autumn months are considered the best time due to pleasant weather and better visibility. Though we suggest you do this trip in a group, it is possible to arrange even for a single participant. Solo travellers can walk at their own pace and take rest wherever and whenever needed.

Reasons for us to spend our holiday in Nepal

It's also unbelievable that it is almost two weeks ago that we finished our stay in Nepal. Escaping from the daily routine was one of the reasons for us to spend our holiday in Nepal and this really worked out for us.
