Trek that looks so easy
As Nepal is famous for short and long treks, the trek to Langtang is considered a medium range trekking area. The real trek begins from Syabrubshi 7314 ft, 2230m, about 7hours drive from Kathmandu, capital of Nepal. This classic trek goes upto a maximum altitude of 12425 ft, 3786m. You can also explore Ganjala 17056 ft, 5200m or Yala 15200 ft, 4633 m. The trek is along the Langtang River.

The area lies in the Himalayan National Park at the backdrop of Ganesh Himal and Langtang Mountain and is still relatively undisturbed, it supports a healthy population of wildlife and there are good chances of seeing various species of wild goats and deer. Birds and botanical life are equally impressive, all set against the backdrop of the magnificent Himalaya. The vegetation found here is alpine and in the high alpine pasture you can also find a Swiss cheese factory at Kyanjing Gompa 12300 ft, 3749m.

In this area, you can trek between 6 days to 18 days. While trekking you can see many famous mountains like Ganesh 24298 ft, 7408m , Langtang Lirung 23727, ft, 7234m, Gaurishanker etc.

Hotel

You don't get good accomodation in these places. Either you have to have camp or stay at a cheap motel. The best is to stay at a motel because it's very cold place.
