Seasons

Access is all through Kathmandu. The Langtang is 120km to the north, a bus ride. Centres are Trisuli Bazaar, Dhunche and Syabrubensi.

Plenty of lodges and camping possibilities. Altitudes up to 4500m. Perhaps slightly easier trekking than the Khumbu and Annapurna regions.
Must See
Very accessible, less-frequented trekking amongst beautiful mountains. The Nepali people and sites sacred to Bhuddists and Hindus.
