Trekking Partners NepalLangtang & Central treks
Close to Kathmandu: glaciers, holy lakes, Tamang villages and short hill walks.
Langtang and central Nepal are the closest trekking areas to Kathmandu – a few hours’ drive gets you to the trailhead. Walk up the Langtang Valley to Kyanjin Gompa, climb to the sacred lakes of Gosaikunda or Panch Pokhari, explore Tamang and Hyolmo culture on the Tamang Heritage Trail, Helambu and Ama Yangri, or take a short Nagarkot–Chisapani walk on the rim of the Kathmandu Valley. A good choice for trekkers with limited time.
