Langtang valley is accessible by 8 hours drive to Syabrubensi from Kathmandu. This is a small market but trade center for the people living in Langtang valley. The next two days are spent climbing briskly up the gorge like lower valley, where oaks and rhododendron give way to peaceful hemlock and larch forest; after ascending an old moraine, snowy peaks suddenly loom ahead and the gorge opens into a U-shaped glacial valley. Springtime is excellent for flowers here, and in autumn the berberis bushes turn a deep rust color..
Two Bhotiya villages occupy the upper valley: Langtang (3.300m), the bigger of the two, makes a good place to spend a night and acclimatize, while Kyangjin (3.750m) boasts a small gompa, a cheese "factory" (fabulous yogurt) and an attractive chalet-lodge. The Langtang Glacier is a full day's walk further up the valley. You'll want to spend at least a couple of nights in the upper valley to explore the glaciers and ascend the 5.033 metre YalaPeak (TsergoRi), from which you can view an awesome white wilderness of peaks, including 8013-metres high Mt. Shisha Pangma.
For the adventure seekers Ganjala can be a best option. Ganjala is a high pass that links Langtang valley with Helambu ,the Buddhist sagrila. It is really a challenging trail. It is possible to stay in lodges except 3 nights while trekking between Kyanging to Tarkeghyang.
