Why go:
The Himalayas have long drawn adventure-seekers to its towering peaks. Experience the world-famous region’s colossal beauty with an eleven-day trip in Nepal by OneSeed Expeditions. During the Langtang Journey, you’ll begin by exploring the ancient temples and sacred sites of Kathmandu, then head to the mountains for a seven-day trek. With an expert guide, a porter to carry equipment, and a warm place to rest your head each night, you can leave behind logistics and enjoy the natural wonder that is Nepal.

What to do:
After spending your first two days in Nepal’s capital city, you’ll travel to Langtang to begin your ascent. By day, you’ll hike through forests, wander through quaint villages with Tibetan-style architecture, and pass by golden barley fields and roaming yaks. Each night, you’ll make yourself at home at trailside teahouses, the cozy, family-owned lodges that serve up comfy beds and warm meals to tired travelers. On the last day of your journey, you’ll return to Kathmandu for a farewell banquet to celebrate your accomplishment with your fellow adventurers.

What’s nearby:
In Kathmandu, your guide will show you around the Valley, with a special visit to the ancient religious site Swayambhunath, also known as the “Monkey Temple.” From this sacred vantage point, you’ll enjoy a view of the entire city. While on the trails, you’ll also have the chance to explore nearby villages and settlements. Mid-way through your trek, there’s a cheese factory where you can pick up some delicious, well-earned treats.
