Morning light spills down the Langtang Valley and the trail hums with the steady crunch of boots on packed earth. Trekkers leave Syabrubesi (≈1,500 m) behind and move through rhododendron and oak, cross suspension bridges, and follow rivers that seem to push them higher.

Manage water and waste
Carry a filter or purification tablets and pack out small plastics where teahouse disposal is limited.
