It is located in the Langtang region, Rasuwa district, in the border region with Tibet. Langtang is an amazing gift of nature, with the unique combination of huge rocky mountains on its head and Lekali kharka on its lap. The name ‘Kyanjin valley’ comes from a 700 years old monastery Kyanjin Gompa located here. Besides, Kyanjin Gompa has the highest human settlement in Langtang valley.

Other requirements
Travel insurance– Trekking to high altitudes can always be risky. Travel Insurance is something you might want to do before trekking anywhere. Sometimes in emergency cases, people need to be evacuated through a helicopter and get medical service. So, in such cases, your travel insurance will be bearing the cost for you. Seeing all these benefits, the government of Nepal has made travel insurance mandatory thing before trekking. However, it is very important to mention the heights and all the places you will be reaching during your trek. Your insurance entirely depends on the details you have provided earlier. Travel insurance costs you around 150$ which is good for 1 month.
Visas/passports– if you are not a Nepalese or Indian citizen, then a visa and a passport are mandatory. You can get your Nepalese Visa at Tribhuvan airport in Kathmandu. The passport must hold a visa of a minimum of 6 months.
