Kathmandu
A vibrant travellers' centre for many years, there is plenty to do in Kathmandu. The city is a fascinating mixture of legend and modern development, with a rich artistic and cultural heritage.

Day 3
Syabrubesi
Travel by bus on rugged roads above the Trisuli River to Syabrubesi, the trailhead for treks into Langtang valley.
Days 4-14
Langtang
A deciduous zone rich in birdlife and flowers, the Langtang region is a stunning area to explore. It's also home to the elusive red panda so keep your eyes peeled. The first day of our trek is spent walking a steep uphill trail that becomes a more gradual incline.
Be captivated by jungle and river valleys, glacial scenery and rhododendron forests on this gorgeous trek. Discover ancient spiritual sites, such as the heavenly lake of Gosainkunda and a spot where Shiva is said to be sleeping. There is an optional hike to Lantang Glacier, or feel free to just roam around the village visiting the famous, half a century old, cheese factory. Spending time in small villages affords a chance to meet friendly Nepali locals. The trekking can be arduous but you will be rewarded with breathtaking sights at almost every turn in the lush valleys of Langtang.
