The Gangchempo peak is located in the Rasuwa district, at a height of 6378m, 60 kilometers north-east of Kathmandu. Gangchempo peak climbing is considered as one of the best climbing destinations within the Langtang region.

Langtang Valley is the closest Himalayan region to Kathmandu and is regarded as one of Nepal’s most beautiful regions. Though fewer tourists visit these locations in Nepal than the Everest and Annapurna regions.

Tilman Pass and Dorje Lakpa are located in the east, Langtang Valley, Langtang Lirung, Nayakhang are located in the west, Lingsing Valley of Sindhupalchok is located in the south, and Shishapangma (8,027 m), the 14th highest mountain in the world, is located in Tibet (China).
