Langtang & Manaslu · Teahouse to teahouse, village to pass
Treks and trails in Langtang & Manaslu
Nepal's trails were roads long before they were treks: salt, rice and wool moved on them for centuries. We plan teahouse treks from three-day ridge walks to three-week circuits, with licensed guides, honest grading and rest days placed where the altitude asks for them.
