The Langtang Valley tea house trek is a magical journey into the remote and lesser visited mountains of Nepal. Initially your trek starts along the river and continues through small villages and finally reaches Tserko Ri, a stunning pass where your hard work will be rewarded with remarkable views. You will have the opportunity to visit the Tibetan monastery at Kyanjin Gompa which serves as a significant spiritual centre for the community for the local Tamang community. You will also experience a very warm welcome in the tea houses and have the opportunity enroute to learn more about everyday life for the Langtang villagers, including how they make yak cheese and curd, weave their traditional cloth and make jewellery.
