Experience the timeless charm of Nepal’s Langtang Valley — a region where dramatic mountain scenery meets rich Tamang culture — and challenge yourself with the rewarding climb of Nayakhang Peak (also called Naya Khang). This journey combines classic Himalayan trekking with an exciting alpine ascent, offering panoramic views of some of the most stunning peaks in the Langtang Himal range, including Langtang Lirung (7,246 m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), Shishapangma (8,013 m, Tibet), and the Jugal Himal massif.
Located just north of Kathmandu within Langtang National Park, this trek provides an ideal balance of cultural immersion, scenic beauty, and mountaineering challenge — perfect for fit trekkers seeking a Himalayan climbing experience without venturing into extreme technical terrain.
From lush rhododendron and bamboo forests at lower altitudes to glacier-carved valleys and icy ridges above 5,000 m, every step reveals a new landscape and deeper connection with the mountains. Along the way, you’ll explore traditional Tamang and Tibetan-influenced villages, cross suspension bridges over roaring rivers, visit ancient monasteries like Kyanjin Gompa, and enjoy the warmth of mountain hospitality in rustic teahouses.
