There will be a team of Climbing Sherpas to guide and assist the group as necessary and porters to manage the equipment and supplies.The trek into the mountain takes you through varying terrain, fabulous scenery and some wonderful villages along the Langtang Valley, one of Nepal's most beautiful and isolated regions.The views from high camp and above are quite breathtaking, with snow topped mountains as far as the eye can see.For those keen on even more adventure, it is possible to try white water rafting as part of the trip before your journey back to Kathmandu.
