Langtang was supposed to be a backup plan — Annapurna was fully booked. It ended up being one of the best decisions of the trip. Quiet trails, Tamang culture, and Langtang Lirung dominating the skyline the whole way.

Langtang in Eight Days
Eight days gave us enough time to push up to Tserko Ri peak for panoramic views of the Langtang glaciers. More rewarding than the 7-day version. The Kyanjin Gompa guesthouse had the most genuine yak butter tea of the trip.
