The east-west running valley displays some of incredible alpine scenery as well as great spot to visit the unique and cultural people. Moreover, the northern east or upper end of the valley narrows to small glacier making their way down to tributary valleys and rivers. Similarly, the trek provides diverse trail route that provides many opportunity for side trip, circuit trek, mountaineering, hiking and cultural sightseeing activities. The highest point of the trek is Tsergo Ri (5,150 m) that sits immediately above Kyanjin Gompa, the alpine settlement of Langtang Valley nestled at 100 km north of Kathmandu.
