You may encounter endangered wild animals such as Mongolia, black bears, snow leopards, musk deer and Red Pandas.

Following the rugged trails and passing through the numerous traditional villages, you can witness spectacular views of the pristine snow-capped peaks, green forests, cliffs, roaring rivers, hypnotic lakes and glaciers. You visit the 700 years old monastery – Kyanjin Gompa. You also collect the experience of camping in different places – Ngegang, Keldang and Duku.

In addition, the jaw-dropping scenes of the incredible mountain ranges such as Langtang Lirung Himal, Ganesh Himal including Annapurna ranges, Manaslu range, Lakpa Dorje and a few other peaks will hypnotize you. Find yourself standing at the top of Tsero Ri and capturing these jaw-dropping scenes.
