Throughout this trek, you will never feel deprived of adventure, scenery, and exhilarating destination experiences. The trek is a walk through nature and human resilience, hidden past the Himalayan pine forests, rest Sherpa and Tamang Villages. The hospitality of people here is warmer than the first rays of morning sun that land on the Langtang Massif. Feel the zephyr blow down from Langtang Lirung, Lantang Ri, Yala Peak, Langsisa Peak, Ganja La Peak and Ganja La Pass as you bask in its gaze.
