Here, we also climb Tserko Ri for excellent sunrise views over the Langtang ranges. The region borders Tibet and was once an important trading route, evident in the rich local culture. The Langtang Valley Trek’s itinerary also includes a visit to the ‘Langtang Village,’ heavily affected by the devastating earthquake in April 2015.
