Langtang National Park sits an hour from Kathmandu by road but feels a world away. Nine days through yak pastures, Tamang villages and high-altitude forests that are still rebuilding after the 2015 earthquake — a trek that directly supports community recovery.

Questions

Much less than Everest or Annapurna — one of its great advantages. You'll meet other trekkers but teahouses are rarely full.
Langtang was almost entirely destroyed in 2015. The community-owned lodges, locally employed guides and direct payments to local families make this one of Nepal's most economically impactful treks.
Shorter drive from Kathmandu, fewer days, lower maximum altitude, significantly quieter. A genuine wilderness experience without the infrastructure of the major circuits.
