The most beautiful places in the Langtang valley
What to see in Langtang
Langtang is one of the easiest mountain trekking areas in Nepal. You can get here in half a day by bus directly from Kathmandu. The valley offers many beautiful views of the mountains, waterfalls and distinctive villages. In addition, there is a very variable landscape from a stifling subtropical forest to bamboos to the highlands. Let's take a look at the most beautiful places you will find here.

Tserko Ri (4,985 m above sea level) is the most popular and highest tourist destination in the Langtang Valley. The views from the top are really breathtaking. Expect 4–5 hours to ascend from the tourist village of Kyanjin Gompy (3,860 m above sea level) continue reading
Kyangin Ri
Easily accessible viewpoint in the Langtang valley
Kyangin Ri (4,604m) is probably the most accessible view from Kyanjin Gompa.

The views from both peaks are absolutely amazing and worth the effort continue reading
Tangbu pass (4,315 m above sea level)
View on the way to the challenging Ganja la saddle

After about three hours of walking from Kyanjin Gompa, it will stand on top of it and enjoy the views. Right next to it are places to camp for those who undertake a two-day crossing Ganja la continue reading
