If Nepal has a hidden gem (well, in trekking terms) it might just be Langtang. Just north of Kathmandu, it’s a region defined by emerald-green, forested trails, high valleys and glacier views, but despite being very accessible from the city, feels a million miles away from the hubbub. And, perhaps most importantly, it doesn’t come with any of the fanfare (or logistics) of the Everest side. The Langtang Valley trek is the main hiking route, but there are plenty of add-ons and diversions depending on interests: Kyanjin Gompa, a pretty, hillside settlement that offers up big mountain scenery in epic doses, the sacred lakes at Gosainkunda, or the Tamang Heritage Trail where the culture is as much the point as the peaks, for example.

Langtang is all about classic Himalayan scenery and fantastic, immersive treks without the need for poles, tents and serious hiking fitness. A gem all round!
Our top tip is to choose routes with plenty of tea stops and village stays, rather than pushing for maximum distance every day. The cultural texture is all part of the picture here.
Even “accessible” Himalayan walking is still Himalayan walking and a well-paced itinerary with a couple of days for acclimatisation will make the experience far more enjoyable.
