Langtang Valley — a hidden Himalayan gem for photographers

Post image

Last year in Langtang, I woke before sunrise in a small village lodge. The valley was still dark, but the first light turned the peaks into glowing gold. It felt like the mountains were breathing with me.

Langtang is just a day from Kathmandu, yet it feels untouched — Buddhist villages, yaks under prayer flags, and light that transforms the landscape every hour.

This September (Sept 25 – Oct 1, 2025) I’m leading a small photography retreat there, focusing on both the trekking experience and capturing the valley through our lenses.

If you’re curious about photographing the Himalayas or want the details, DM me. And if you’ve shot in Nepal before, I’d love to hear about your favorite spots.
