The region north of Katmandu offers a multitude of trekking destinations, all accessible without flights. The major areas are Lang tang, Gosainkund and Helambu, which can be combined in many different ways to make treks lasting from seven to 16 days. Lang tang treks offer an experience not found elsewhere. The trails are challenging with long, steep climbs and descents, often through deep forests or across glacial mountain views and interesting villages with well-established lodges.
