Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Walk
Kyanjin Gompa village
At the head of the valley, Kyanjin is a trekking stop surrounded by high mountains. Allow time here rather than immediately adding climbs to viewpoints.
Walk
Gosaikunda Lake
This sacred lake lies in a rocky high-altitude landscape. Reaching it requires a planned trek; snow and local conditions can make trails difficult or impassable.
Walk
Langtang Valley
As you ascend the valley, forests and villages give way to more open landscapes. Respect earthquake memorial sites and follow locally recommended routes.
