The trek offers stunning views of the Langtang Himalayan range, including peaks such as Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, and Ganesh Himal. You’ll trek through verdant forests of rhododendron, oak, and pine, as well as terraced fields, alpine meadows, and picturesque villages.

Along the trekking route, you’ll encounter several ethnic communities, including Sherpas, Tamangs, and Hyolmo people.
