Langtang Trekking The third-most popular trekking region in Nepal lies to the north of Kathmandu. The trail offers views of Lama Hotel, Kyanjin Gompa, Langshisha, and Langtang village, which lie at 3,500m and are in National Park. Those villages exude a Tibetan feel and a chance to witness the fields enclosed by stonewalls and yak herds. It offers baffling extremes in topography and climatic conditions. Arriving at Kathmandu, visit historic and cultural places such as Swoyambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan and Bhaktapur, Pashupatinath temple, and Boudhanath with sacred monasteries. It is the first step in organizing to see the country of Mt. Everest and the Himalayan range for you, your family, and friends.
