Ready to get lost in nature near Kathmandu? The Langtang Valley Trek in Nepal pulls you right into the heart of the Himalayas, where the wild is still wild. You start out in Syabrubesi, about 1,500 meters up, and almost as soon as you hit the trail, you’re surrounded by thick forests. Red pandas sneak through the bamboo, birds dart overhead, and honestly, there’s something new around every bend. The higher you go, the more you realize just how alive these mountains are.
