The Langtang region is the third most popular trekking area in Nepal but receives only a fraction of the crowds that go to the Annapurna and Everest areas.
There is a wide range of scenery and culture, accommodation is good, and there are several trek combinations.

We will also visit the Kyanjin Gompa (monastery), and a cheese factory (open May to December.)
