Langtang Lirung
लाङटाङ लिरुङ
The highest peak of the Langtang Himal, at 7,227 m. From Langtang village to Kyanjin Gompa, its glacier-covered faces can be seen all along the way.
Langtang Lirung is the highest peak in the Langtang range, at 7,227 m. It rises directly north of Langtang village, with icefalls cascading down into the valley. Ordinary visitors do not climb it. Instead, they view it from Langtang village, Kyanjin Gompa and Kyanjin Ri. A short walk can also take you up the lateral moraine of the Lirung Glacier behind Kyanjin Gompa. During the 2015 earthquake, avalanches of ice and snow from this mountain buried the old village of Langtang.
