Langtang valley trek is the third most popular trek in Nepal. A beautiful and somewhat more accessible trail due to lower altitude.
The trail starts in SyabruBensi (1500m) and goes along a narrow valley, through forest(jungle) and then up in the alpine yak meadows reaching the village of Kyanjin Gompa (3870m) where a beautiful Monastery sits.
The first part (cca 15km) si through jungle with a lot of rocky steep up and downs near the precipice of the river. Once up above 3000m, the trails are more flowy and the views absolutely enchanting.
This can be done as a single push up, down or up and down. There is a descent race that has been organized in recent years.
Up: 30km 3089D+ /500D-
Down: 30km 500D+/3600D-
The starting point of the trail is just above the bridge crossing the river.

Doodle Baseball The Langtang Valley Trek is a ~60 km route in Nepal with about 3,600 m of vertical gain. It starts in Syabru Bensi (1,500 m) and follows a narrow valley through jungle and rocky sections before opening into alpine yak meadows and reaching Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 m). The first 15 km are steeper with many ups and downs near the river, while above 3,000 m the trail becomes more open and scenic. It can be done as either a continuous ascent/descent or split into up and down segments.
