Langtang Cultural Trek
The Langtang Circuit Trek offers a wonderful hike that combines beautiful snow-capped peaks with wildlife spotting and local encounters. Gain elevation through swathes of oak, rhododendron, and bamboo; experience the spiritual lifestyle of Buddhist monks in a stunning monastery dating back to circa 1300 A.D. You may even spot the rare Red Panda hiding among the mountainside greenery as you explore. Elsewhere on the trek, pop in to a traditional cheese factory, where the produce is manufactured by hand. Finally, watch the sun rise over a multitude of glistening lakes as you scale this sacred pilgrimage site; believed to have been created by Lord Shiva's holy trident.

Many visitors to Nepal are hoping for blue skies and clear views of the Himalaya, which are most prevalent in autumn. This is also the best time to see the country at its greenest, fresh from the summer monsoon rinse, but as it is the peak season trails and lodgings are very busy. The other popular time to visit is during the spring months of February, March and early April which bring more warmth, but correspondingly higher levels of haze can obscure mountain views unless you get up into the high country. Winter’s chill is only for the hardiest hikers whereas summer is the lushest season, but bear in mind that the monsoon can bring unpredictable disruption.
