The closest big-mountain trek to Kathmandu. Just a day’s drive north, the Langtang valley climbs from bamboo forest where red pandas live to the yak pastures and glaciers around Kyanjin Gompa. Meet the Tamang people, taste fresh yak cheese, and climb Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m) for views of Langtang Lirung and the peaks along the Tibetan border. Quieter than Everest and Annapurna, and perfect if you have one week.

Quiet and authentic
Far fewer trekkers than in the Everest region, and the Tamang villages were so welcoming. The view from Kyanjin Ri over the glaciers is breathtaking.

Walk in the footsteps of legendary mountaineers to the foot of the world’s highest mountain. This classic 14-day journey flies you into Lukla and follows the Dudh Koshi valley through Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries and suspension bridges to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and the sunrise viewpoint of Kala Patthar (5,545 m). Two acclimatisation days, experienced local guides and comfortable teahouses make this bucket-list trek achievable for fit hikers without climbing experience.
