By first light the bus peels away from Kathmandu and the valley narrows into terraced fields and pine slopes. The road climbs, drops, and finally gives way to a trail that pushes into Langtang National Park—rivers daring you to cross on narrow bridges, forest murmurs that pull at your pace, and peaks that appear and recede like a slow-motion reveal.
